Ensuring perfect concrete quality from our plant to your site is our focus here at Barrowcrete. We do this by ensuring quality control measures being in place throughout. This ensures that the final product reaches the standards required for durability, strength, and performance. If quality control measures are not followed from plant to pour this can result in issues with structural integrity, maintenance costs and even potential safety issues.
When creating the perfect ready mix concrete each batch will be required to maintain durability and strength, This is done by correct proportioning of the raw ingredients, cement, water and aggregates. These ingredients are carefully measured and monitored to ensure the concrete produced meets the load bearing capacity it is required to.
Ensuring tight quality control measures means that we can safely comply with both national and international construction standards which include The British Standards (BS EN206) This will ensure that the concrete is of the right standard for various conditions.
Not only does stringent quality control ensure high quality it also helps to minimise waste and reduce over producing by accurate measuring and also reduces rejected loads. This helps us at Barrowcrete reduce our carbon footprint.
By opting to adapt quality control methods helps us to ensure a smooth pour by maintaining workability throughout the transport process which in turn reduces the risk of excessive bleeding, honeycombing and segregation. Structural defects are also minimised with effective quality control which includes shrinkage, cracks and reduced load bearing.
We use computerised technology throughout the mix to pour process which helps to minimise human error and keep quality control at its highest for every single batch from testing the raw ingredients, ensuring the perfect rotation for the mix truck and precise measurements at all times.
Even after the pour our quality control continues with the team ensuring the right curing process for your concrete.
