Our Testing

How we verify quality.

Our in-house laboratory is central to our quality control process, carrying out routine testing of constituent materials, fresh concrete, slump, and compressive strength, together with the controlled curing of test cubes.

Low Carbon Concrete — lower carbon emissions, sustainable solutions, same strength, proven performance

Our low carbon concrete mixes use GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) as a partial cement replacement, reducing embodied carbon while maintaining strength and performance.

GGBS can reduce permeability and heat of hydration, improve sulphate resistance and enhance long-term durability. Replacement levels can be tailored to suit project requirements and programme constraints.
