Construction & Infrastructure: Building on Moroccan Minerals
The vital role of Moroccan minerals in global infrastructure. Iron for steel, zinc for galvanization, and barite for heavy concrete applications.
The Building Blocks of Infrastructure
Modern civilization rests on a foundation of mineral resources. From skyscrapers to bridges, Moroccan raw materials provide the strength and durability required for major infrastructure projects.
Key Construction Minerals
Iron & Steel
Moroccan iron ore (≥56% purity) is the primary ingredient for:
- Structural Beams: The skeleton of modern buildings.
- Rebar: Reinforcing concrete for roads and bridges.
Zinc for Longevity
- Galvanized Steel: Essential for bridges, guardrails, and street lamps exposed to weather.
- Roofing: Durable zinc architectural sheets.
Barite in Construction
- Heavy Concrete: High-density barite concrete used for radiation shielding in hospitals and nuclear plants.
- Soundproofing: Acoustic insulation materials.
Lead Applications
- Shielding: X-ray room protection.
- Roofing & Flashing: Waterproofing historic and modern buildings.
