Cement and concrete are essential ingredients in building our communities and infrastructure. Normal Portland Cement is a finely ground powder which is mixed with sand, stone, and water to produce concrete.
General Use Portland Cement. Portland cement is the binding ingredient used in concrete mixes with or without other binders. Concrete is widely used as a building material for structure and pavements.
A general-purpose cement suitable for all uses where the special properties of other types are not required.

What if there was an innovative cement that could reduce CO2 emissions by 900,000 tonnes − every year?
Cement and concrete are essential ingredients in building our communities and infrastructure. Engineered for a better tomorrow, Contempra is a contemporary cement that decreases CO2 emissions by 10% while still producing concrete of comparable strength and durability to that produced with regular Portland cement.
With such a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, Contempra will make a significant contribution to more sustainable construction and cleaner air in Canada. Once adopted for all suitable concrete applications, it is expected to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by up to 900,000 tonnes annually.
This is equal to 172,000 fewer cars on the road or planting 23 million trees.
Contempra makes concrete – already renowned for its safety, sustainability, durability, resiliency, versatility, energy-efficient attributes and contribution to LEED certification – a smarter choice than ever for building stronger communities.
A general-purpose cement suitable for all uses where the special properties of other types are not required. As of late 2014, CSA allows the use of GUL in sulphate environments with the appropriate testing completed.
CSA A3001 Portland Cement.
Type HE Cement is an economical, basic building material that is used in a wide variety of concrete construction applications where high early strengths are desired.
Uses include cast-in-place, precast, bridges, roads, pipe, blocks, pre-stress concrete mixtures or applications where high early strengths are required.

A general use cement suitable for all uses where the special properties of other types are not required. Widely used for all kinds of concrete construction including pavements, building foundations, bridges, floors, and various precast concrete products.
ASTM C150 Standard Specification for Portland Cement and AASHTO M85.
A general use cement that is air-entrained suitable for all uses where the special properties of other types are not required. Air-entrainment is added to improve durability in exterior concrete in freeze-thaw conditions.
