Aggregates

We use crushed stone of different sizes,
n° 4 sand and eventually other types
of stones in the production of our concrete
products. All aggregates (fine and coarse)
are suitably tested and analyzed in our
laboratory, and our suppliers are selected
based on their quality.
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 |
As
in the case of the other raw materials,
the water used in the production of premixed
concrete is previously subjected to a
strict quality control. 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.
