Concretes and mortars are construction materials composed of aggregates, cement and water. They are widely used in constructing infrastructures and buildings, with concrete being a fundamental element of foundations, walls, pillars, slabs, and mortar in bonding bricks and blocks and their subsequent covering.
These materials are processed and produced in concrete plants. These specialised facilities have the necessary machinery to guarantee the final materials’ production process and quality. These facilities are made up of different elements, each with its specific function: “silos and storage areas”, where the raw materials are stored for subsequent processing; “dosing hoppers”, where the precise quantities of each material – different aggregates, cement, water and additives – are measured and supplied to achieve the right mix for the type of concrete required according to the previously established formula; and “mixing area”, where the intimate mixture is produced between all the above elements until the concrete is produced.
The manufacturing process of concrete and mortar finally ends with its transport to the place of use, the construction site, using special equipment that maintains the homogeneity of the product until it is finally placed on site.
Sando Materiales currently has several concrete plants in production, such as Villa Rosa in Malaga, La Ventilla in Ronda and the concrete plant in Fuengirola.
Our company, which specialises in sustainable concrete production from Sando Materiales, Andaluza de Morteros, ANDEMOSA, has been awarded the DCOR and DSOR quality marks following the Structural Code. The DCOR label represents quality with a superior guarantee, officially recognised by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda. The DSOR label certifies the AENOR N Sustainable mark, adding European sustainability criteria to these quality requirements.
