Quality Assurance

Overview: Delivering Quality from Research to Field Applications

Qualiy Assurance Lab

Corporate Quality Assurance Laboratory

At RMCC, we understand that our product, concrete, is one of the most unique and versatile building materials in the world. It can assume virtually any shape and reach great strengths. Concrete is ideal for any building project such as residential homes, schools, high-rise buildings, bridges, dams, highways etc. Concrete is perishable in its plastic state and very "sensitive" from the time the raw materials are combined to the final product. Mixing, transportation, placing, and curing can influence its plastic and hardened properties. This is why RMCC places great emphasis on quality by expanding the parameters of its concrete quality management model from quality control to quality assurance. RMCC is leading the way to higher quality practices with the implementation of a Quality Management System based on the guidelines and principles of ACI 121.
