Quality control at every stage of the process – from raw material procurement to shipping and concrete laying – is essential to ensure that constant quality is delivered to the consumer.
Controls on process variables
Monitoring of critical concrete qualities in fresh and hardened conditions
Implementing the world-renowned Cusum system to quickly detect changes in concrete characteristics
All of these efforts result in the provision of consistent and guaranteed concrete to clients.
Conventional Concrete is the result of poor quality control of the input material, the batch of the ingredients and the mixing of the concrete. The result of conventional site mixed concrete is poor, uniform and inconsistent.
Ready mix concrete manufacturers and suppliers use state-of-the-art equipment and facilities to produce high-grade concrete. They use rigorous testing to guarantee the quality of all the ingredients.
Ready mix concrete
customers do not have to deal with on-the-spot procurement and storage of cement, Aggregates, Sand, Water, Admixtures, etc.Not only does this significantly reduce the space needed at the construction site, but it also drastically reduces the work required of the customer to obtain different materials, ensure proper storage and regularly check the quality parameters.
The plant’s Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Manager is responsible for the plant’s quality assurance/quality control staff. He or she is the main decision-maker in the situation. He/she is supported by the Quality Assurance/quality control in charge, whose job it is to plan and execute all the batching plant’s QA / QC policies and test procedures. The QA/ QC helpers are available to assist the QA/ QC Manager or QA/ QC In charge.
Ready-mix concrete quality control can be broken down into three parts:
Forward control
Immediate control
Retrospective control
Forward control and subsequent corrective action
control of purchased material quality
storage of materials
mix design and mix design modifications
transfer and weighing equipment
Immediate control refers to immediate action to control the quality of the concrete that is being produced or that is being delivered immediately after. This includes production control as well as product control.
Production control
At each plant, the production of concrete is systematically monitored.This is to make sure that all the concrete delivered meets these requirements and meets the specifications that are the basis of the contract between the producer and the buyer.
Product Control:
Concrete mixes are randomly sampled and checked for workability.If there are significant deviations from target values, corrective action is taken.Plastic density, temperature, and air content are also tested.
Retrospective control refers to those elements that affect the control of the production.
Engineers physically test the incoming raw materials and the final product or the RMC.
Engineers are physically present in order to make sure that all the equipment is properly calibrated.
Based on the model, engineers also perform quality controls on a daily or weekly basis.
The person responsible for QA/QC will make decisions based on the assigned cause found during the monitoring phase.
Lab experts are available to carry out sampling and testing.
Conclusion
In a highly competitive market today, delivery quality and customer service quality are as important as product or service quality. The product life cycle is getting shorter in the global market due to liberalization policies and global competition. Consumer expectations are constantly increasing. In such a situation, traditional methods of product certification and testing will not be able to improve the quality of products.
Today, customers are aware of the importance of product quality worldwide. SD Conmix, with the best ready-mix concrete, has an increased quality assurance control team and continues to update and stay competitive.
FAQs
In the construction industry, quality control (QC) is the set of procedures and processes that are implemented during the planning phase of a project to ensure all materials and finished products meet high-quality standards and criteria. Ready-mix Concrete from SD Conmix is the best concrete as it meets all the quality parameters.
Determining the carbon content and sulphur content of cement is an important part of quality control. Too high a sulphur content could lead to the destruction of cement due to sulphuric acid reaction. By maintaining a perfect balance between carbon & sulphur content, SD Conmix, ensure that only quality cement is used in RMC.
Quality assurance is a method for the proper monitoring and evaluation of different aspects of repair work to make sure that standards of quality are met. Quality control is inspection and tests set to confirm that the materials used and repair technique meet project specifications.
There are many factors that influence concrete strength, including the quality of the raw materials used, the ratio of water to cement, the ratio of coarse to fine aggregate, the age of the concrete, the rate at which the concrete compacts, the temperature, the relative humidity and the curing of the concrete. For the best quality ready-mix concrete, rely on SD Conmix, where quality is monitored at every level.
