Pelcon er Danmarks største private betonlaboratorium, som arbejder med betonprøvning, tilslag og andre byggematerialer indenfor adskillige prøvningsmetoder. Laboratoriet er meget anerkendt indenfor specialrådgivning, udvikling og in-situ prøvning, så som kontrol af tilslag, betons mikrostruktur, struktur af luftporesystem og holdbarhedstest. Dine prøver bliver behandlet professionelt og hurtigt.
Publikationslisten repræsenterer kun en lille del af de undersøgelser, analyser og rapporter udført af Peter Laugesen gennem årene. Udvælgelsen af emner er blevet kontrolleret både ved fortrolighed over for klienter og af de centrale interesser af Dansk Beton Teknik A/S og Pelcon Materials & Testing ApS.
