READY MIX CEMENT CONCRETE (CONCRETE ADMIXTURE)
[EIRI/EDPR/0460] (J.C.:9025)
INTRODUCTION
What is Ready Mixed Concrete
Ready Mixed Concrete, or RMX as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer's construction site in a freshly mixed and plastic or unhardened state. Concrete itself is a mixture of Portland Cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone. In traditional work sites, each of these materials is procured separately and mixed in specified proportions at site to make concrete. Ready Mixed Concrete is bought and sold by volume - usually expressed in cubic meters. RMX can be custom-made to suit different applications. RMX - Adding value to concrete
Ready Mixed Concrete is manufactured under computer-controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods. RMX assures its customers numerous benefits:
* Uniform, consistent and assured quality of concrete
* Flexibility in concrete design mixes
* Easier addition of admixtures * Faster and speedier construction
* Reduced inventories, material handling and storage of raw materials at sites
* Savings in labour requirements, labour costs and supervision of labour
* Reduced wastage of materials
The use of RMX is an environmental friendly practice that ensures a cleaner work place and causes minimal disturbance to its surroundings. This makes its utility more significant in crowded cities and sensitive localities.
In contrast to this, conventional methods of making, transporting and placing concrete at most construction sites are somewhat labour-intensive and suffer from practices which may be erratic and not very systematic.
Therefore the use of Ready Mixed Concrete can prove to more cost effective in the longer term while ensuring that structures are built faster and using concrete that comes with higher levels of quality assurance.
