Considering the stone shortage that periodically affects infrastructural projects and construction, local oil and gas service provision company Excel Guyana Inc hopes that its Duraflex cement compound will fill that void as it offers a product of better durability and lower cost.
“We had meetings with [the ministries] of public works, agriculture and other large companies here about usage of the product… It is an addition to cement, a compound which creates cement that is stronger and durable.
