Production of Concrete

Production of Concrete

Production of concrete involves two distinct activities. One is related to ‘material’ and the other to ‘processes’. The material part is generally taken care by everybody, but the involved processes in the production of concrete are often neglected. Therefore no wonder that it is the ‘process’ which is responsible for good or bad quality of concrete. If we take care of processes, the quality of concrete will be improved automatically without incurring any extra expenditure as the major expenditure has already been made in procurement of material. In order to ensure the quality, it is very important to have a knowledge of each and every process.
