Q 1. What is Ready-mix Concrete?
Ready-mix concrete is manufactured in a batching plant or factory. It is usually delivered in two ways – in-transit mixers and volumetric concrete mixers. It has a cost advantage over several other materials and is used in large-scale projects.
Q 2. How is Ready-mix Concrete Made?
By mixing aggregates (obtained from quarries and aggregate banks), additives (for improving durability or reducing water content), water, and cement.
Q 3. What is the Cost of Ready-mix Concrete?
$50-$150 per cubic foot of concrete needed. The actual cost will depend on the type and amount of ready-mix concrete you use.
Q 4. What is Ready-mix Concrete Used For?
Ready-mix concrete is usually used in civil engineering projects, road and systems development projects, and building projects. It is usually preferred when mixing concrete on-site is not feasible.
Q 5. What is the Difference Between Plant Ready-Mix Concrete and Job Mixed Concrete?
Plant ready-mix concrete is manufactured in a batch plant and delivered to the worksite, whereas job mixed concrete is made at the site.
Q 6. What are the Advantages of Ready-mix Concrete?
- Superior quality and durability
- Better handling and following the right mixing practices can help reduce cement consumption by 10-12 percent
- Eco-friendly manufacturing process
- No additional space is required to store raw materials at site
- Manufacturers have less dependency on human labor
