About us

The Concrete Centre provides material, design and construction guidance. Our aim is to enable all those involved in the design, use and performance of concrete and masonry to realise the potential of these materials.

The Concrete Centre, part of the MPA

Mineral Products Association (MPA) is the trade association for aggregates, asphalt, cement, concrete, dimension stone, lime, mortar and silica sand industries.
