Portland cement was developed from so called natural cements made in Britain in the early part of the nineteenth century, and its name is derived from its similarity to Portland stone, a type of building stone that was quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England.
Joseph Aspdin, a British bricklayer, in 1824 was granted a patent for a process of making cement which he called Portland cement. His cement was an artificial cement similar in properties to the material known as “Roman Cement” (patented in 1796 by James Parker) and his process was similar to that patented in 1822 and used since 1811 by James Frost who called his cement “British Cement”. The name “Portland cement” is also recorded in a directory published in 1823 being associated with a William Lockwood and possibly others.

GAPPSI INSTALLATION OF CONCRETE
We excavate the site and compact sub grade with a mechanical plate compactor.
We install 4 to6 inches of concrete for walkways and patios for pedestrian areas with reinforced wire mesh. We score concrete with joiner to create the definition of individual slabs also called flags, usually concrete flags are 48 inches x 48 inches this will allow concrete to split were the seems are should ice build under the concrete slab. It also makes it visually appealing to score the concrete in flags. For concrete sidewalk and patios we use 3000 psi concrete and we add fiber mesh if we want to further reinforce the finished concrete product. Concrete is produced by combining gravel, sand and Portland cement.

From the first human that walked the earth, building and improving our habitat is what us humans strive to improve and care about as much as feeding ourselves.
And for every civilization there have been improvements in masonry techniques and styles. That up to today has defined us ethically.
