Do You Know Why Certification is Important for Concrete Producers?
Concrete Alberta offers certification to its members that provides them with a whole host of benefits including:
If a producer is claiming to supply concrete that meets industry referenced codes and standards, they need to maintain timely documented proof of doing so that can be verified at a moment’s notice. That commitment requires dedicated and knowledgeable resources and operators who thoroughly understand each equipment, material, production and delivery requirement stipulated under every code and standard reference in any project or supply agreement.
Concrete Alberta certification provides a baseline reference that is easy for even the smallest producer to maintain.
The once every three-year third-party audit/validation fee is a minor fraction of the cost of a producer’s obligation to maintaining facilities, equipment and materials to CSA and to any codes and standards that reference it.
You can do it all yourself, or you can build upon a solid foundation like Concrete Alberta’s plant and mobile mixer certification. It’s easier for owners and contractors to reference and easier for you as a concrete producer to provide demonstration of compliance, when asked for the documentation.
