What is volumetric concrete and how does it work?
As an alternative to the traditional delivery of plant-produced and batched concrete, volumetric concrete is mixed on site to the exact volume that is required, in a volumetric mixer located inside the truck.
At New Mix Concrete, each of our volumetric trucks is fitted with a digital meter that tells us how many cubic metres of concrete is being generated so we know how much to charge. The ready mix concrete it produces is ready for immediate use; there is no need for a cement mixer or other mixing equipment on site. Once produced, our operatives deliver the concrete from the volumetric mixer truck directly to site in wheelbarrows.
Benefits of using volumetric concrete in Warrington projects
For Warrington projects, there are several benefits of using volumetric concrete:
- Quality – the volumetric mixer produces concrete under controlled conditions with precise measurements which enhances its consistency, durability and strength
- Customised – because the concrete is being mixed on site it can be customised to meet specific requirements and adapted if required
- Reduced labour – the customer doesn’t need to mix the concrete on site which reduces the amount of equipment and labour required, and allows for a quicker completion of the job.
- Safety – the dust associated with bagged cement and having to operate machinery are safety risks that are avoided with ready mix concrete.
On-site mixing: why volumetric delivery is more efficient
Volumetric delivery and on-site mixing are more efficient for Warrington based DIYers and contractors.
When a pre-ordered volume of concrete is delivered there is often the need for additional deliveries which delay the project, or if too much has been ordered there can be a significant amount of waste. Volumetric delivery provides the exact amount of concrete that is needed to complete the project which avoids delays and additional costs.
If required, multiple mixes for different concrete elements of a project can be provided in one volumetric truck delivery, which is far more efficient than separate orders and deliveries.
Cost savings and reduced waste with volumetric concrete
The cost savings and reduced waste associated with volumetric concrete are key benefits that make it a more popular choice than plant-mixed concrete.
Cost savings include:
- Labour costs – customers don’t need to pay for labour to mix the concrete, or to wheelbarrow the concrete to site
- Equipment hire – costs are saved on equipment hire to mix the concrete and transfer it
- Concrete cost – customers only pay for the concrete they use, as recorded by the digital meter.
Waste benefits:
By generating only the amount of concrete the customer needs, volumetric concrete delivery produces almost zero waste. This not only avoids having to clean up the site after use, it is also far better for the environment because it reduces the depletion of primary aggregates.
