Type IV Cement

Type IV cement is a special type of cement used in construction for building massive structures, like locks and dams, that need to last a very long time. It is designed to develop strength slowly and resist the effects of high heat during setting, which helps prevent cracking. This controlled setting process makes it ideal for large concrete pours where minimizing internal stresses is critical. Essentially, Type IV cement promotes durability and stability over decades, ensuring the integrity of large, important infrastructure projects.
