Ready Mix Concrete V/s Site Mix Concrete
In the case of site mixing, if the plant
breaks down or materials are delayed, then all production stops but costs continue
to rise, and the maximum output is fixed while the minimum output is uneconomic.
The ready-mixed concrete producer on the other hand has the resources and technical
expertise to produce a wide range of concrete mixes on demand to meet changes in
the site programme and allow operator on-site flexibility in scheduling work. The
truckmixers can deliver the concrete to the point of placing, with consequently
cleaner sites and no wastage of materials. Costing ready-mixed concrete requires
only an enquiry giving all the specification requirements to local producers. It is essential to ensure the concrete will have the correct qualities.
