LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Plant tours educate participants as to the following:

  • How raw materials such as cement, aggregates, pigments and admixtures are used to make concrete and produce different colors and textures.
  • How molds are built to create varying sizes and shapes of precast.
  • How plant quality control procedures and national standards are operationalized to ensure the highest quality product.
  • How various finishing techniques can refine and enhance the appearance and texture of concrete.
