NRMCA Participates in Conference in Mexico for Ready Mix Producers

NRMCA  recently participated in an event held by the Association of Independent Mexican Producers (AMCi) which organized a 2-½ day expo and conference in Santa Fe, Mexico. The event was attended by 250 people with a large contingent of students. Colin Lobo, executive vice president of the engineering division, delivered a 90-minute presentation titled Concrete Quality: Changing the Mindset from Strength to Durability. Lobo covered the basic requirements for producing and delivering concrete mixtures for durability in which he outlined the fundamental quality control activities that could be more significant when durability of concrete is emphasized compared to strength. He outlined the potential economic benefits to a company of a functioning quality control system. The presentation was well received by the attendees. Lobo also discussed the use of the NRMCA Plant Certification Program with AMCi leadership.
