In Kampala, a ready-mix truck can receive “LabCrete” at the batching plant and leave “YoloCrete” at the construction site. A little water added on the road, a little waiting time in traffic, a little washout dumped where it shouldn’t be, and the concrete system quietly breaks.
That is why the ready-mix sector is growing fast, yet a credibility gap is emerging in performance, durability, and trust.
We have published The Concrete Corner - Issue 003 (March 2026) by Eco Concrete Ltd, focused on ready-mix concrete quality control and real site performance in Uganda’s cities.

And if you’ve seen good practice or bad practice in ready-mix (water addition, delayed pours, washout dumping), share a photo or a short field note. We’ll publish selected lessons in the next issue.

@Eddieug10Ug@now_arsenaI Arsenal without zubi or Rice really lacks a lot in terms of dictating the flow of the game but I will go with a 2:0 with Gyokeres and Merino on the score sheet.
@Hellenistic16 Recall that everything on that sanctuary was a shadow of what was to come and this Jesus Christ and the Bible refers to Jesus as the bright morning star( sun) and it rises from the east . And it was just one entrance just as it is only through Christ that one can reach God.
@NIRA_Ug some things must not be right with the way the services are provided nowadays,I paid for a new id and completed the process way before the renewal exercises started but it's so frustrating how new applicants have started getting their IDs 😔😔.
Are you a recently unemployed graduate (2024–2025)?
Do you hold a Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in any Engineering discipline?

Good afternoon @NIRA_Ug .
I visited the kololo office for information correction because of some descripancy in the day and month of birth on the ID with my actual one. How long does it take to print for me a new card because it's now 6 weeks past ????
Just feel frustrated.
