DO YOU KNOW THE STRENGTH OF YOUR BLOCKS?
Superior construction requires high-quality materials! Gravel and Concrete is the only block supplier with a
laboratory to continually test and ensure consistency in quality.
Concrete blocks that are under the physical requirements of the Grenada Bureau of Standards can compromise the structure of your building.
Our mix design, developed by our Laboratory is used in the production of our 4", 6", 8" and 12" blocks and includes Admixtures
to maximize strength and are cured for at least 14 days before selling to our clients.
The required strength by the Grenada Bureau of Standards compared with the strength of Gravel and Concrete blocks after curing for fourteen (14)
days are:
|
Block Size |
Bureau of Standard
14 Day Strength
|
Gravel & Concrete 14 Day Strength |
