Benefits of Readymix

 Ready-mix concrete has several advantages over traditional concrete production method, as follows

 

1. Cleaner cities & streets because of reduced debris & left-overs on streets.

2. Environmental friendly, no dust/fumes problem and therefore, pollution-free.

3. Reduced traffic movement of dumpers & trucks causes less traffic congestion.

4. Labour and site supervising cost is minimum.

5. Labour associated with concrete production is eliminated.

6. The procurement cost and wastage of basic materials is avoided.

7. Project completion time reduced, resulting in savings.

8. Use of RMC eliminates need for storage space for basic materials at site.

9. Control on quarries & raw material.

10. Concrete prepared without the intervention of site labour who may manipulate concrete mixes and water cement ratio.

11. Consistent quality through accurate computerized mixing of ingredients by weight.

12. Computer controlled homogenizing of ingredients.

13. Mechanized operation with consequent economy.

14. Safe delivery without strength loss.

15. Catering large volumes of concrete.

16. Speedy construction through scheduled delivery at site, reducing time of concrete operations by 50%.

17. Concrete placing facilities using concrete pumps.

18. Minimization of cement wastage due to bulk handling.
