Cement Plant Visit

Few weeks ago i was obliged to incharge of concrete (thats why i am late back now!). Almost every week i will need to carry out the cube test for several times. So, here i would like to share some photos at the plant i visited. Enjoy!
YTL Plant (our main concrete supplier) located at Sentul

Lorries loading ready mix concrete where the 3 cylinders each contain sand, aggregate and cement.
the green soldier!
Cubes at the curing area

Cubes ready for the load test

The unit test





The washing area




The driver may add in some water if they feel that the concrete is too hard. Or
sometimes they will need to carry out the slump test themselves before sending to us.

The second plant i visited is under IJM located at Wangsa Maju for the trial mix test(as for incase YTL couldnt supply to us),but too bad i couldnt make it to another plant named Tasek located at Sg. Besi.




The chemical mix
In the control room, this is how they control the aggregate,cement and sand mix.
is like playing games, just click here and there!
i am lucky enough to visit the control room which afterall i am more clear or understand the whole process..

until then, my time to chao!
