PROCEMA SA- Research, Design and
Experimental Production Institute for Construction
and Construction Materials, founded in 1949, has
contributed by its research and design activities to
creating the construction materials industry of
Romania. Complex projects have been carried out
for over 500 factories and production capacities for
building materials in Romania and 15 industrial,
social and cultural units set up in foreign countries.
Till present, the research activity produced more
than 50 new materials and obtaining of over 60
patents of inventions. The institute has an
authorized testing laboratory for materials and
products and co-operates with high education
institutions and specialized research institutes from
Romania and from abroad.
Objectives
The need for an IP (I-STONE) to address the current problems and the future
requirements of the European Stone Sector originates from the ever
increasing need of the EU Construction industry for more and higher quality
stone products and the fact that despite its economic importance, the Stone
Sector has not made any significant technological progress the last decades.
The primary aim of I-STONE is the reengineering of the stone production
chain, in order to considerably increase its efficiency and productivity,
minimise the amount of stone wastes disposed in the environment, produce a
new generation of multifunctional products based on stone wastes and
safeguard the quality in stone application and use. The ultimate target of the
project is to transform the rather traditional Stone Sector into a modern,
competitive and knowledge-based industry and ensure a lasting technological
superiority of EU over its competitors.
These objectives will be achieved with the incorporation of nanotechnology
and intelligent manufacturing in stone processing and through the creation of
new applicable knowledge and radical innovations in advanced materials and
multifunctional products. The main radically new knowledge to be developed
includes the development of a new generation of consolidating agents with
chemical characteristics similar to that of the stone, which will efficiently
consolidate the stone products and prevent them from breaking during their
processing; innovative extra thin cutting disks, a new generation of Ultra Fine
Dispersed Diamonds and new heavy metal free metal-diamond bonds
resistant to high temperatures and mechanical stresses that will lead to the
development of innovative high-speed drilling and cutting tools to maximise
productivity and new multifunctional products.

PROCEMA GEOLOGI Ltd- Geological Research
and Design and Testing Laboratory is an
independent department of PROCEMA and have 5
permanently employments and other research
partners. The department carries out activities and
renders specialized services surveys from more then
200 deposits for raw materials that can be used in
the industry of building, technological processes in
the building materials industry and studies of
environmental impact. It holds the Secretariat of
Romanian Committee for Standardization “Natural
Stone” The department prepares technical
agreements for materials and products, as well as
technical regulations for construction, possesses an
important Romanian data bank in the field of building
materials and has contacts with many stone
producers in Romania.
Benefits
• Development of expert systems for design,
construction, stone risk analysis and service life;
• Prediction in the construction sector to prolong the
lifetime of the stone products;
• Development of a maintenance handbook to
ensure the designed service life of stone products;
• Development of lab scale virtual selection system
at the web to assist stone consumers, end-users
and applicants to select piece by piece the stone
products;
• Assessment of the existing waste management
schemes applied by the European stone sector and
development of appropriate waste management
tools;
• A database with information on documented
practice and guidelines for natural stone
applications.
Valentina Cetean is an engineer geologist and scientific research,
specialized in applicative and economical research of raw materials for
construction and is working at the PROCEMA for 14 yeas. She has a
Master degree in Environmental Management, a specialization for
Management and Marketing of SME and consulting specialist and
auditor for Quality Management Systems for the building stones
producers. She is member of Romanian Committee for Standardization
“Natural Stone” and prepares the final sustain of PhD thesis in Geology.
She is the project leader of several national research projects related
like to the methods to the improvement of blocks cutting processes, to
the establishing and monitoring of the anthropic activity impact on river
profiles, unconventional uses of the stones, petrographical,
mineralogical and physico – mechanical characteristics of Romanian
ornamental stones.
Neculai Ciornei is Executive Manager of department and chairman of
Romanian Committee for Standardization “Natural Stone”. He is
engineer geologist and specialist for Technical Agreement of natural
stone and has expertise on evaluation of natural stone durability of
building materials and physical and mechanical characterization of
stones; has a Master degree in Environmental Management
Silviana Marica is engineer geologist specialized in the research of
raw materials for buildings, inclusive physical and mechanical
characterization of natural stones. She is secretary of Romanian
Committee for Standardization “Natural Stone”.
