Concrete Laboratory and Quality Control

Every batch is produced under laboratory control and undergoes 28-day strength testing

Concrete quality cannot be seen with the naked eye — it can only be confirmed by laboratory testing. At the Novxani Beton plant, production follows the requirements of GOST 26633: the mix design is set in the laboratory, every batch is checked during production, and samples undergo 28-day cube testing.

For you, this control means a tangible guarantee: the grade you order (for example, M300 / B22.5) actually delivers that strength. When the project requires it, test results are provided in documented form — for construction supervision and technical records.

How quality is ensured

Production to GOST 26633

All grades are produced in accordance with the requirements of the standard.

28-day cube testing

Sample cubes are strength-tested over the standard period.

Batch control

Every production batch is checked before release.

Project-specific mix design

The final mix design is set in the laboratory according to project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is concrete quality tested?

The standard method is cube testing: sample cubes taken during production are cured for 28 days and then checked for strength under a press. The result confirms that the grade (for example, 22.5 MPa for M300) is achieved.

How long does concrete take to harden?

Concrete gains strength rapidly in the first days after pouring and reaches the standard indicator of its design strength on day 28 — which is exactly why the tests run for 28 days. Weather conditions affect the speed of the process.

Can I receive the test results as a document?

Yes, when the project and construction supervision require it, batch test results are provided in documented form.

Which is better: ready-mix or site-mixed concrete?

With plant-produced concrete, the mix design is set in the laboratory, batching is automated and every batch is checked — with manual mixing on site, proportions are done by eye and strength goes unchecked. For structural work, plant concrete is the reliable choice.
