Euphrates River Sand
An upgraded river-suction dredger design has been developed to expand extraction capacity; it is a concept in development, alongside the currently operating extraction unit. Capacity figures are being finalized and will be confirmed before publication.
Consistency, checked against international benchmarks
Clinker is tested against EN 197-1 and ASTM C-150. Phosphate specifications follow the reference standards of Syria's General Company for Phosphate & Mines.
