Quality Control
When you use VIC MIX products, you can have the confidence that a system of testing and monitoring ensures products will perform as intended. Products are regularly tested for strength in accordance with relevant Australian Standards by independent NATA registered laboratories and concrete technicians.
A good range of industry accepted test methods is available to the customer for verification of concrete performance. Some methods require sampling of the concrete whilst plastic and others are taken from the in-situ structure after the concrete has hardened.
Furthermore, “state of the art” technology built into the manufacturing plant ensures accuracy of batching and control of all processes from order taking through to delivery of the concrete. Recording system (paper & electronic) provide traceability of individual batches back to raw constituent materials such as cement, stone and sand.
