Services
Over 30 years of experience in mining engineering
We provide services around the mining sector such as:
- Cost calculation and optimization.
- Board membership and internal operations audit.
- Due diligence participation in mergers and acquisitions.
- Consultancy in the takeover and operation.
- Scout and market research for new materials areas of interest and service in: Balkans, Africa, East Mediterranean and Middle East.
Precast designs and operations since 2000
MP Advisors has been operating in precast plant design and operations since 2000 with the AAProkat’s plant in Lavrion, Attica, Greece. Also, in the sub-contraction of the assembly of paving stones with special machines and methods.
Concrete production and quality control
We have worked in the concrete industry for more than 30 years in Europe and Africa regions with experience in the design and production of concrete products. We offer services such as design and feasibility studies for integrated RMC plants, in Europe, Balkans and Africa regions.
H&S (Health & Safety) inspections
With our experienced Inpectors we can provide systematic workplace checks to find hazards, ensure legal compliance, and improve safety by assessing conditions, equipment, and processes, preventing accidents, and promoting a safer culture through activities like safety tours, surveys, and equipment checks, often guided by risk assessments
Supplementary Cementitious Materials
Cementitious materials are various building materials (with or without aggregate) that provide plasticity, cohesive, and adhesive properties when it is mixed with water; properties that are necessary for its placement and formation into a rigid mass. In other words, cementitious materials are one of the key ingredients in a concrete mixture. Cementitious materials beyond clinker which is the main constituent of cement are called Supplementary Cementitious Materials.
Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM’s) are added to concrete mixtures for various reasons including improving durability, decreasing permeability, aiding in pumpability and finishability, mitigating alkali reactivity and improving the overall hardened properties of concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity or both. SCM’s are added to concrete in addition to or as a partial replacement of Portland cement or blended cements and are usually considered as a part of the total cementing system. The use of these materials in concrete has also grown considerably over the past 30 years in that they are typically by-products of industrial processes and their use can contribute to environmental and energy conservation practices.
The most common SCMs used in the ready-mixed concrete market include:
- Fly Ash
- Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
- Silica Fume
- Calcium Carbonate
- Artificial Pozzolans – such as calcined clays, shale, and metakaolin
- Natural Pozzolans – such as toffs, perlite, pumice, zeolite, diatomite
