Concrete Technical Adherence Collaboration

Job-site testing of concrete is an important part of providing quality concrete for construction project. However, it is not always known how well the testing is performed, including the condition of the testing equipment and calibration, how the samples are handled, transported, and stored, and whether the correct test has been conducted. While there are standards, training, and certification through ACI, ASTM, and other programs, there has not been sufficient means to monitor the application of the testing procedures.

The CTAC program was initiated in Colorado in 2015 and has now been adopted nationwide by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association. .

The purpose of CTAC

The purpose of CTAC is to help inform and educate. So, the data will be collected and provide ready mixed concrete suppliers opportunity to review and better understand testing practices in regard to concrete they have supplied. They will be able to share data with laboratories and other testers as requested.
