Concrete Work

Concrete production is the process of mixing together various ingredients to produce concrete. Concrete production is time-sensitive. Once the ingredients are mixed, workers must put the concrete in place before it hardens. Concrete production takes place in a large industrial facility called a concrete plant or often a batch plant.
