Construction
As cities grow we are faced with rising demands for modern and efficient infrastructure: new commercial and residential developments, new roads and highways, and new industrial and energy infrastructure. Air Liquide is helping the construction industry meet rising demands for infrastructure by supplying a range of safe and reliable gas solutions for cutting, welding and concrete applications. Our tailored gas solutions are designed to meet your specific requirements, whether working in dense urban environments or remote areas, including offshore. We supply gases in a variety of modes and volumes to meet your needs.
Construction Value Chain Steps
BUILDINGS AND CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE
Air Liquide provides gas solutions for the processes of manufacturing subcomponents as well as assembly on the field.
Concrete cooling
CryoCrete™, Air Liquide’s concrete cooling solution, will help you meet the most demanding cooling requirements and pour temperature specifications for mass concrete pours in hot weather conditions. CryoCrete™ is ideal for pouring foundations and constructing engineered structures such as stadiums, bridges, roadways and highways and dams.
Gases
Laser cutting
Cutting of metallic raw materials is a process in which the metal fabricator turns sheets, tubes, coils and more into the desired size or shape for the project at hand. With laser cutting, a focused laser beam is directed onto a sheet, allowing for burr-free cuts. Air Liquide’s LASALTM solution improves performance and reliability of specialized laser cutting jobs.

Brands
LASALTM gases and equipment, specifically designed by Air Liquide for laser cutting and welding, improves productivity and quality, lowers operating costs and maintenance and extends laser lifetime.
Services
Along with our gas offers, Air Liquide provides a range of services such as laser training to help you maximize safety and productivity on the job.
Laser welding
Air Liquide offers a full range of specialty gases and related equipment to meet your laser cutting and welding needs. Global purity, along with control of specific impurities, are the most important factors when selecting gases for your lasing application. Air Liquide pioneered the laser industry standard for effective, consistent control of impurities now widely adopted in the marketplace. Our LASALTM individual gases and multi-component mixtures are prepared under strict quality control procedures that minimize specific impurities such as moisture, hydrocarbons and particulates.

MAG and TIG welding
Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding is highly flexible and adaptive, and is used when you wish to obtain high productivity and high quality results. This process is used for manual and semi-automatic welding or automated/robotized installations on low-alloy carbon steels, high-alloy stainless steels or non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum or copper. Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding mixes are mainly used for sensitive stainless steels and aluminum or copper-alloy welding.

Equipment
Air Liquide supplies a wide range of gas handling equipment designed to safely deliver gas to your application.
Hardgoods and Package Gases can be supplied to customers at virtually any construction and or fabrication site through the Connected Store. The Connected Store is a mobile store that tracks and controls product acquisitions, the storage environment, improves productivity and minimize wastage. The customer benefits include having an outsourced hardgoods (HG) and or package gas (PG) store coupled to an exclusive online stock management system system. The benefits realised include the following:
- Real time stock management
- Traceability on purchased products
- Project / Job consumable cost consolidation and forecast
- Monitor and manage individual employee consumption
- Minimal downtime due to consistent availability of relevant products
- Compliant storage practices
- Secure and controlled access via biometrics

Oxy-fuel cutting
Our solution for flame cutting includes FLAMAL™ brand gases, an oxy-fuel flame and straight oxygen to form a cutting jet. The high flexibility of this process combined with its excellent cutting performance makes FLAMAL™ ideal for both manual and automatic flame cutting operations for use in metal fabrication, shipyards, boilers, scrapping, and installations.
Gases
Plasma cutting
Plasma cutting is used to thermally separate metallic materials that cannot be cut by a flame. It allows for a smaller cutting angle compared to flame cutting, high cutting speed, clean and smooth cutting edges, and high-quality welded joints. It is widely used on all types of metal to achieve high-quality cuts and high levels of productivity. Under certain circumstances plasma cutting can achieve a comparable quality level to laser cutting, but at a considerably lower production cost.
Gases
RESIDENTIAL
Air Liquide provides easy-to-use and portable gas solution for processes involved in residential construction.
MAG and TIG welding
Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding is highly flexible and adaptive, used when you wish to obtain high productivity and high quality results. This process is used for manual (semi-automatic) welding or automated/robotized installations on low-alloy carbon steels, high-alloy stainless steels or non-ferrous alloys such as aluminum or copper. Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding mixes are mainly used for sensitive stainless steels and aluminum or copper-alloy welding.
Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) or GTAW-gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is a process used when a very high welding quality is required for pressure vessels, piping, or food containers. An additional filler metal, often a wire rod, may be used either manually or in an automatic process through a separate wire feeder. Researchers at Air Liquide have studied this process to learn more about it and to propose the most suitable shielding gases like ARCALTM.
