About Amcrete

We are a small yet dedicated, experienced and well-respected consultancy specialising in concrete technology.

Although based in London, our existing clients are nationwide, working in the utility, frame, groundworks, civils and piling sectors. Our clients routinely call on us to provide knowledge and advice on their projects, from the tender stage through to the end of the project.

Our aim is to not only to give advice, but to work alongside you and your teams, avoiding errors (design) from the time you become involved in a project either as a main contractor, contractor or engineer. Our support continues through to the execution of the works and may also involve investigations and analysis for any perceived issues that may arise.

Throughout our time working in the industry, we have had the good fortune to work with some of the best – see testimonials below. We have partnered with the people and organisations that we know can, and do, provide the same high level of support to you and your project. You can find them our partners page.

Non Conformance

Concrete Trials

The purpose of concrete trial mixes is to enable you to check the strength, workability, density and other properties of concrete mixes.

Low Cube Results

Low cube or cylinder results are often the most common cause for non-conformance reporting, giving rise to concerns regarding the concrete element suitability. Resolving an issue requires an investigation and analysis of all records associated with identity testing by the contractor.

Mix Design Advice

We are often asked to provide assessments and reviews of existing mix designs, either before a project begins or, in some cases, during operations such as with precast elements.
