READY MIX CONCRETE PLANT

Ready Mix Concrete - Definition

Ready mix concrete is concrete whose
components are proportioned away from the
construction site for delivery to the construction
site by the truck in a ready-to-use-condition.

History

In 1909, the residents of

Sneridan, Wyoming could
have witnessed the birth of
Ready Mix concrete
industry.
Prior to World War I,
concrete was produced in
stationery plant mixer
hauled to construction sites
in dumps trucks.

Transit Mixer in late 1950s

Advantages Of Ready Mix Concrete

Quality assurance
Elimination of manual errors
Mass production of concrete possible
Water cement ratio maintained
Reduced material wastage
Labour cost saved
Design mix as per IS standards resulting in standard
deviation and improved characteristics.

Disadvantages Of Ready Mix Concrete

The

materials are batched at a central plant, and

the mixing begins at that plant
Generation of additional road traffic; furthermore,
access roads, and site access have to be able to
carry the weight of the truck and load.
Concrete's limited time span between mixing and
going-off
