Portland Cement Concrete
 

All Portland cement concrete, grout, and mortar specimens are sampled, cured, and tested strictly according to ASTM, ACI and Caltrans specifications.

Samples are placed in our fog room within 24 hours of casting. They are stored in this temperature-controlled environment throughout the curing period, typically for 28 days.

After the specified curing period, the concrete samples are tested and the results are promptly transmitted to our client.
