Lafarge could face compensation claims for UK faulty cement
Lafarge could face compensation claims after it discovered it had supplied faulty cement used in houses, roads and small building projects across southwest England that could crumble and crack, the Financial Times reported.
The costs to Lafarge 'are likely to exceed substantially the value of the original sales of the contaminated cement,' said the newspaper.
The FT said Lafarge admitted that staff at its Westbury plant in the UK had deliberately under-reported alkali levels in cement over a two-year period.
The newspaper said about 1,000 cubic metres of concrete 'are considered at high risk of crumbling or cracking'. It said Lafarge was unable to comment on the value of the sales involved although the company did say this is a tiny part of its annual output of 20 mln cubic metres of cement.
RMC Group PLC (LSE: RMC.L - news) , Lafarge's largest customer, was quoted by the FT as saying: 'We do not know what the costs will be but we hold Lafarge responsible.'
