THE MONTHLY SITE REPORT

BASICS  FEB 2021 – CONCRETE

MONTHLY SITE REPORT
Concrete is usually made
up from cement mixed  JAN 2021 – CONCRETE
MONTHLY SITE REPORT
with aggregates and
water. When mixed
together the aggregates
(sand & stone) and water
interact with the cement
in a reaction called
hydration. This matrix of
materials soon begins to
harden and will continue
to get stronger over
nearly a whole month.
