High-quality lava, known as picon, has been mined in the lava pit on Gran Canaria for decades. Since 2022, the company DTR CALAVA SL has been responsible for the preparation and processing of this lava. The company uses it to produce substrate raw materials and filter materials that are exported to Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and England. DTR CALAVA SL also supplies the Canarian construction industry with aggregates.
The lava deposits on Gran Canaria are characterized by excellent physical properties. The lava has a high air pore volume and a large surface area with high grain strength. Its low bulk density makes it ideal as a substrate raw material and as a lightweight aggregate for the concrete industry.
Thanks to the know-how in production and processing technology accumulated over decades, DTR-Calava SL is able to manufacture high-quality products for the substrate and construction industries from lava raw materials.
DTR CALAVA SL can transport complete shiploads of 3000 to 8000 tons from the Canary Islands to the mainland.
In addition, a reliable and long-term secure supply is guaranteed.
