"The nearest regional centre is the town of Fria which is approximately 25 km and currently takes 2 hours on the road, the slopes increase at the edge of the plateaux and the surface is predominantly very hard ferrocrete."
I can't find a proper translation for "ferrocrete" into French, all I could find is "béton armé". Ferrocrete is derived from ferrous and concrete. Ferrocrete is also popularly known as ferrous concrete, and even more commonly as rebar-reinforced concrete.
It doesn't make sense to me in this context. Any suggestions?

Discussion
Maybe it's the surface of the mining zone - so FX-F is on the ball.
