We have 100% trained engineers for the evaluation and supervision of the products we offer. They are constantly determining and quantifying the required properties of the materials that we use for the elaboration of our concrete, and from these, they carry out the resistance and manageability tests in the laboratory that must comply with the official Mexican norms in the matter and our quality standards.
Randomly and upon request of our customers, we perform tests on hard and hardened concrete (on site) with the best equipment available in the market, in order to guarantee the portfolio of products we offer. In order to continuously improve the ideal dosage of the materials we use in our concrete.

Recommendations and Suggestions
Recommendations for better results
Have the necessary personnel and equipment available when the concrete arrives at the job site to place it quickly. Compact the concrete well with a vibrator during placement and give the required surface finish.
To achieve optimum development of the concrete properties, careful curing should be carried out, preferably for 7 days or at least 3 days.
Start curing when the surface begins to lose its shine. Do not add water for any reason; do not contaminate the concrete with other materials, since it damages its quality. In complicated castings, dedicate sufficient time to plan the execution.
