Quality assurance

Evidence behind every approved mix.

Quality control starts with materials and batching accuracy, continues through fresh-concrete testing, and is verified through hardened-concrete performance.

Control framework

Quality managed across the concrete cycle.

Testing is supported by documented batching information, calibration checks and traceability appropriate to the approved project requirements.

01

Raw Materials

Review and testing of cementitious materials, aggregates, water and admixtures according to the applicable requirements.

02

Batching Control

Computerised batching, weigh-system checks, mix identification and production records.

03

Fresh Concrete

Slump or flow, temperature, air content where applicable, density and visual conformity checks.

04

Sampling & Curing

Controlled sampling, specimen preparation, identification and curing before strength testing.

05

Strength Monitoring

Compressive-strength review at specified ages, commonly including 7-day and 28-day results.

06

Traceability

Connection of orders, delivery tickets, batch records, samples and test results for controlled review.

Laboratory capability

Testing supports decisions, not just records.

Laboratory results are reviewed alongside site conditions, batching information and the approved mix requirements. Where performance differs from expectation, technical review is initiated to understand the cause and define appropriate action.

  • Fresh-concrete workability and temperature tests
  • Density and air-content testing where specified
  • Compressive and split-tensile testing as required
  • Regular calibration and equipment verification

Standards

Aligned to approved specifications.

Testing and control activities are carried out with reference to applicable project specifications and relevant BS EN or other approved standards. Project requirements govern the final inspection and testing plan.
