I worked in construction where 20 lorry loads were being poured in a couple of hours. Every few hours a quality control person who was on site took a sample. That was in a different jurisdiction where the local authority and relevant government departments had to have sight of those samples. Problems start at source. The source is the concrete plant. We know what has happened. There is no need to rehash all of that. We ended up with mica, pyrite and all kinds of problems because of it. I have quoted the 1949 legislation. Who will enforce it? This is the solution.
