About LAVA Mining & Quarrying S.A.
LAVA, part of the HERACLES Group, mines and markets pumice, gypsum, natural pozzolana and silica sand, with quarries at Gyali, Altsi (Sitia, Crete) and Milos, and headquarters in the Athens area.
To compare cement and aggregate suppliers, look at supply consistency as well as the data sheet: plants with several quarries and distribution centres absorb demand peaks better, and on large projects daily delivery capacity is as serious a criterion as characteristic strength. For LAVA Mining & Quarrying S.A., it is worth recording these criteria in the request for quotation.
It is also wise to check that aggregates meet the grading and cleanliness required by the project standard, especially in fair-faced concrete or pavements, where poorly washed sand shows up months later. In the case of LAVA Mining & Quarrying S.A., that prior check avoids most surprises on site.
