Hence, the submitted test report on concrete Mix Design for Grade M-30 is being forwarded to you for
your kind approval, so that the work could be started as early as possible and could be completed within stipulated time.
This is for your information and necessary action please.
SR .DEN/C/BCT
The information contained in concrete design mix is correct and result of 7days & 28 days’ cubes of trial mix is
satisfactory. I have checked the design mix, and on the basis of above report of cube strength, it is recommended to use
design mix of M-30 for the said work further use.
