Concrete is only as strong as the care taken to produce it.
In Ghana’s fast-growing construction industry, quality control is the difference between a building that lasts for decades — and one that develops cracks within months.
Unfortunately, many projects fail due to poor concrete quality, often caused by incorrect mixing, substandard materials, or lack of supervision.
At Jobadee Concrete, we believe that consistent quality control is the foundation of trust. This article explains why concrete quality control is vital — and how our advanced production process guarantees reliable results for every cubic meter.
1. What Is Quality Control in Concrete Production?
Quality control (QC) in concrete means monitoring and managing every stage of production — from raw materials to batching, mixing, delivery, and pouring — to ensure the concrete meets strength and durability standards.
At Jobadee Concrete, QC begins before production starts and continues until the concrete is poured at your site.
2. Why Quality Control Matters
Poorly controlled concrete can lead to:
- Cracking and structural failure
- Reduced load-bearing capacity
- Water leakage and corrosion of steel reinforcement
- Costly repairs and project delays
Proper quality control ensures:
✅ Consistent strength
✅ Durability against weather and chemicals
✅ Workability for easy placement
✅ Compliance with Ghana Standards Authority (GSA)
In short: QC makes your concrete reliable, predictable, and long-lasting.
3. Key Stages of Quality Control at Jobadee Concrete
a. Raw Material Inspection
Every batch starts with high-quality materials — cement, aggregates, sand, and water — that are tested before use.
We verify:
- Cement grade and freshness
- Aggregate size, cleanliness, and moisture
- Water purity and pH balance
Only approved materials go into our batching system.
b. Computerized Batching
Our batching plants in Tema Community 5 and McCarthy Hill (Mallam–Accra) use fully computerized systems to measure materials with precision.
This eliminates human error and ensures every mix meets exact proportions for strength, slump, and workability.
c. Mix Design Verification
Every project has unique structural requirements.
Jobadee Concrete’s engineers design custom mixes (M15–M45) that match your load, environmental, and structural specifications.
We test trial mixes before production begins — ensuring the actual concrete will perform exactly as required.
d. Slump Testing (Workability)
Before dispatch, each truckload undergoes slump testing to verify workability and consistency.
This ensures the concrete will flow, compact, and set properly at the construction site.
e. Compressive Strength Testing
We prepare test cubes from each batch and cure them for 7, 14, and 28 days to measure compressive strength.
This guarantees that your concrete meets or exceeds the required MPa rating for its grade (e.g., M25 = 25 MPa).
f. Delivery Monitoring
Our logistics team tracks each mixer truck to ensure on-time delivery and minimal setting delay.
Concrete is poured within recommended time limits to maintain strength and consistency.
4. Common Quality Issues in Ghana’s Construction Industry
Unfortunately, not all concrete suppliers maintain proper standards.
Some common problems include:
- Adding too much water to make concrete “easier” to pour
- Using unwashed or low-quality aggregates
- Inaccurate cement ratios
- Poor curing or delayed delivery
Jobadee Concrete actively prevents these issues with strict supervision and real-time tracking of production data.
5. How Jobadee Concrete Ensures Unmatched Quality
Our commitment to quality goes beyond mixing concrete — it’s part of our culture.
We ensure:
- ✅ Ghana Standards Authority–certified materials
- ✅ Calibrated batching equipment
- ✅ Experienced engineers on-site
- ✅ Routine plant maintenance
- ✅ Continuous staff training
- ✅ Documentation and traceability of every batch
Every cubic meter you receive from us is backed by lab-tested performance and full production records.
6. Benefits of Quality-Controlled Concrete
Choosing a supplier with proper QC practices results in:
- Stronger, longer-lasting structures
- Fewer cracks and repairs
- Better project timelines
- Improved structural integrity
- Lower lifetime maintenance costs
That’s why top builders, developers, and contractors in Ghana trust Jobadee Concrete for all their ready-mix needs.
Conclusion
Quality control is not optional — it’s essential for safety, strength, and performance.
When you buy from Jobadee Concrete, you’re not just ordering concrete; you’re investing in a system of reliability backed by precision batching, testing, and engineering expertise.
