The kind of concrete depends on the aggregates used.
Specialists say that crushed stone provided better cohesion in the mix and gives greater strength to concrete than gravel.
The strength of any concrete is influenced by the following factors:
the activity of cement; the quality of aggregates;
the water-cement ratio; the hardening conditions.
Prefabrication offers the customers:
opportunities for good architecture;
reduced energy consumption;
cost effective solutions due to modular design.
