Quality Responsible Concrete

As quality responsible, you are responsible for the follow-up and assurance of the quality of three essential product groups within our construction activities: recycled granulates, hydraulic bound mixtures, and road concrete. You contribute to the sustainability, reliability, and conformity of our products, and work from our sites in Burcht and Bilzen.

1. Recycled Granulates

• You monitor the quality of granulates that arise from breaking down old concrete, asphalt, or other building materials.
• You check if these meet technical standards (such as BENOR) and environmental regulations (such as VLAREMA).
• You perform analyses on particle distribution, contaminants, and origin.
• You ensure correct documentation and traceability.

2. Hydraulic Bound Mixtures (HBM)

• You set technical mixing formulas for mixtures of granulates with cement or other binders.
• You monitor the production process and check parameters such as workability, hardening time, and strength.
• You ensure that the final product meets the requirements for foundation material in road construction.

3. Road Concrete

• You follow the quality of concrete used for roads and industrial sites.
• You check composition, hardening time, compressive strength, and surface finishing.
• You guide external audits and certification processes (e.g., COPRO).

4. Formulating recipes in accordance with regulations

• You set technical mixing formulas, aligned with project requirements and applicable standards.
• You take into account parameters such as particle distribution, binder types, moisture content, and workability.
• You work together with production and laboratory to test, refine, and validate recipes.

5. Self-control of the production, the production process, and the delivery of products

• You perform systematic controls on the quality of produced materials.
• You check if production proceeds according to established procedures and if final products meet technical specifications.
• You follow the quality of delivery: correct packaging, transportation conditions, and traceability. Attending and guiding external controls by certification institutions
• You prepare audits and inspections for certification organizations such as COPRO.
• You are present during these controls and serve as a point of contact for auditors.
• You ensure the follow-up of any comments or action points and implement improvement measures.

6. Preparing and maintaining the quality manual

• You develop and maintain the quality manual, in which all procedures, standards, controls, and responsibilities are recorded.
• You ensure that the manual remains up-to-date and conforms to the latest legislation and standardization.
• You communicate changes to involved departments and ensure correct implementation.
