Pasocrete( Ready mix Concrete)
Ready-mixed concrete is used in construction projects where the construction site is not willing or is unable, to mix concrete on site. Using ready-mixed concrete means the product is delivered finished, on-demand, in the specific quantity required, in the specific mix design required.
Ready-mix concrete refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for customers’ construction projects and supplied to the customer on-site as a single product.
It is a mixture of cement, water and aggregates: sand, gravel, or crushed stone. All aggregates should be of a washed type material with limited amounts of fines or dirt and clay. An admixture is often added to improve the workability of the concrete and/or increase the setting time of concrete (using retarders) to factor in the time required for the transit mixer to reach the site.
Advantages
Quality & Consistency
One of the advantages of using ready mix concrete is that variables such as compressive strength, workability, proportioning of ingredients, water-cement ratio and slump can be controlled and moulded as per the requirement of the project. The use of ready mix concrete has allowed a significant speeding up of the construction process courtesy of the improvement in the quality of the materials used.
Efficiency
The traditional method of mixing concrete included working onsite which involved a lot of labour and long periods to complete any project. With the construction industry adapting to the advent of technology, the manufacturing process now requires less supervision, efficient use of cement and saves on energy and resources.
Environment Freindly
Conserving our environment has become a top priority in the modern world. The climate has been adversely affected by season changes and effects on human beings becoming evident. Preparation of cement on site involved a lot of risk due to dust emission and the strong rays of the sun. Ready-mix concrete reduces all these risks along with low noise pollution.
Versatility
Ready mix concrete has time and again proved to be a versatile construction material. From its use to the method of placing it, this tailor-made procedure is versatile as per the methods used by the site contractor.
Reduced Wastage
Better handling and a proper mixing practice helps to reduce the consumption of cement by 10-12%. Prepared in fixed quantities and in a measured manner ensure quality product. This reduces the risk of faltering at some measurements which ends up harming the mixture overall and hence has to be done away with. Another advantage of using ready mix concrete is that it reduces the storage space for the basic materials at the construction site.
