The Municipality of Concordia has refurbished the Road Works and Maintenance laboratory, where the hydraulic press, a key piece of equipment for controlling the strength and quality of concrete used in public works, was calibrated and put back into operation.
In this context, Bruno Gastambide, Director of Road Works and Maintenance of the Secretariat of Urban Development, reported that “personnel from the company Loma Negra visited the quality control area and, together with municipal technicians, proceeded with the startup and calibration of the hydraulic press that had become obsolete. This equipment is fundamental because it allows us to control the strength and quality of the concrete, both that produced by the municipality and that acquired from suppliers, which is then used in different works for the city.”
Quality control of concrete is decisive because it ensures that the structures built comply with safety and durability standards. “The hydraulic press allows for testing the compressive strength of hardened concrete specimens, ensuring that the material supports the expected loads and that public works are safe and durable over time,” detailed the laboratory manager, Emanuel Illescas.
With the commissioning of this machinery, the municipality strengthens its technical verification capacity and ensures that every project carried out in Concordia uses reliable, high-quality materials.
