The maximum size grading of the coarse aggregate (crushed stone), crushed mechanically, of different sizes used in our plant varies between ½", ¾", 1", 1 ½", according to the technical specifications of our clients and the requirements of the project.

Additives


We use additives for state-of-the art concrete products, such as retardants, accelerators, plasticizers, super plasticizers, air incorporators, etc. As in the case of the other inputs, before using the additives in the production of the concrete, they are also tested in our laboratory, making sure that they provide the concrete with the most suitable properties and that are required by our clients. All this control of raw materials guarantees a quality concrete.

Water

The water for the production of premixed concrete must be transparent (colorless), clean and free of harmful quantities of oils, alkalis, acids, salts, organic matter, glycosides or other substances that may have a negative effect on the setting, strength or durability of the concrete or on the steel framework. .
