Approvals and paperwork
Every unit we supply is cast in an approved plant and arrives with that plant's material approvals, mix design and DCL results — collected, checked against your batch and handed over as one file. We hold fourteen approved plants in the network, so the specification your authority named decides where the order is placed rather than what one yard happens to have a mould for. Name the authority when you send the enquiry and we confirm the specification before you order.
Four documents, every load
Batch reference on the note
The delivery note carries the batch and pour date, so any unit standing on site can be traced back to the cubes that were taken with it.
Approved mix design
The mix for the grade you ordered, with cement type and admixtures named. On units cast to drawing it is issued before the first pour, not after.
Cube and absorption results
Seven and twenty-eight day compressive results, plus water absorption where the unit is buried — the tests that decide whether a chamber passes inspection.
Source certificates and drawings
Cement, aggregate, admixture and reinforcement certificates, and the shop drawing you signed off before anything was cast. How the order runs →
What is held on each unit
Each line is held at the plant casting that unit, and we confirm which plant before you order so the approval reference in your submission matches what arrives. Anything held on request, such as third-party crush tests, stability calculations or load class certification, is quoted with the units rather than billed afterwards. For the reasoning behind the mix and cover choices on buried work, see the specifier guides.
What an authority submission needs
Five items, in this order — each one issued in the casting plant's name and submitted under your package. Most resubmissions come from a missing approval reference, or cube results that do not match the batch on the note; both are what we check before a load is released. The RTA submission guide covers the order consultants expect.
Name the authority and the product
Tell us who is approving the job — RTA, Dubai Municipality, Trakhees, DEWA, a consultant on a private development — and we come back with the plant we would source from and its current certificates, checked against your item list before you order. If no approved plant can meet it, we say so rather than send you paper that will not pass.
