In order to achieve quality in concrete construction, every effort should be made to ensure that the construction process is designed, monitored and executed to the required specifications.

SPASA will be purchasing a copy of HB 64-2002 which provides guidance on the materials, manufacture, testing and properties of concrete. It gives details of the techniques and describes the activities involved in concrete construction.

It includes key components such as:

• Constituents of concrete
• Manufacture and supply of concrete
• Concreting site practices
• Related site practices
• Properties, specifying, ordering and testing

With the vast number of new, amended or revised Standards released, it can be difficult tracking all the changes relevant to your business. Referring to an outdated withdrawn or superseded Standard may have a major impact on compliance, risk management and quality assurance. 

SPASA takes this opportunity to remind you that each applicable standard is purchased and kept in a library at the Notting Hill office. Members are welcome to take full advantage of this resource.
