Quality Management for Cement, Aggregates and Building Materials
Cement, aggregate and building material producers across Africa must deliver consistent strength and grading, since variable product leads to failed structures and rejected loads. This course covers sampling, testing and process control for cement, aggregates, blocks and related materials, linking laboratory results to plant adjustments. Participants learn to control quality from raw material through to dispatched product.
What you will be able to do
Design representative sampling for bulk building materials.
Interpret common tests for strength, grading and consistency.
Link laboratory results to timely plant and mix adjustments.
Control raw material variation feeding the process.
Manage product that fails to meet specification.
Maintain quality records for customers and site users.
