Ready Mix Concrete

Ready mix concrete is concrete that has been mixed beforehand at the concrete factory and sent to the project site in a state ready to use. The process of mixing ready mix concrete is carried out in a concrete factory using an automatic and controlled concrete mixer, so that the quality and strength of the concrete can be guaranteed. In contrast to concrete processed by conventional methods.

Advantages of Ready Mix Concrete

  • Faster job execution time
  • Better concrete quality due to controlled mixing process
  • Cost savings because there is no need to provide equipment and manpower to mix concrete manually
  • Time savings due to the delivery of ready mix concrete can be done on a scheduled basis

Therefore, ready mix concrete is often used in large construction projects such as the construction of highways, tall buildings, bridges and other infrastructure projects.

Advantages of Ready Mix Concrete

In ready mix concrete, the proportions of ingredients and the concrete mixing process are very well regulated so as to produce concrete with maintained consistency and strength. This makes ready mix concrete superior to concrete that is mixed manually. With these advantages, ready mix concrete is the right choice for construction projects that require high concrete quality and strength as well as time and cost efficiency.

Disadvantages of Ready Mix Concrete

  • Shipping costs are more expensive, especially if the location is difficult to reach
  • The use time for ready mix concrete is very short, which is about 2 hours after being mixed at the concrete factory

Although it has many advantages, ready mix concrete also has some disadvantages that need attention. In terms of shipping costs, ready mix concrete itself costs more to send a mixer truck, especially if the location is difficult to reach. The use time for ready mix concrete is also very short, which is about 2 hours after being mixed at the concrete factory. Therefore, ready mix concrete must be used immediately upon arrival at the project site, otherwise the concrete will harden and become unusable.
