Two companies in Qatar have attained the NRMCA producer quality certification while a few more companies in the United States are pursuing the certification. The special discount for companies applying for this certification has been extended to Friday, June 30, 2017. This certification program is a broad-based audit of the quality plan of a ready mixed concrete company and requires that competent professionals are responsible for quality; the company has production facilities and delivery vehicles that conform to industry standards; there is a process in place for specification review, mixture development and submittal; there is a process in place for testing and evaluating ingredient materials and concrete mixtures; and the quality system supports continuous improvement.
