Abstract:
Quality of the final batch begins with the quality of the mixing. Every batch has to be nearly perfect. Our industry is changing rapidly. Training has to be done quickly and efficiently. We train using videos and hands-on experience for recent college graduates. We teach them quality and quality control procedures. This article emphasizes training methods that we use to get quality employees as well as better design and construction of concrete structures.
