Barrow mix concrete delivery is the supply of ready mix concrete in wheelbarrows, directly to the spot where it is need on site.
New Mix Concrete supplies ready mix concrete to a wide selection of customers ranging from domestic DIYers through to contractors on large build or infrastructure projects.
Barrow mix concrete delivery
Barrow mix concrete delivery is also known as volumetric concrete delivery. This is because barrow mix concrete is freshly mixed on site, to a customised mix, in a volumetric concrete batching unit inside the cement mixer truck.
The concrete continues to be produced until there is enough for the work to be completed. A digital meter tells us exactly how much ready mix concrete has been generated and supplied so we know how much to charge for. There is no waste because the concrete is produced based on material requirements on the day.
Once produced, the concrete is wheelbarrowed directly to the where it is needed on site, which is repeated until enough ready mix concrete has been supplied.
Benefits of barrow mix concrete delivery
Here are just some of the benefits of barrow mix concrete delivery
- Labour costs are reduced:
- Labour is not required to mix the concrete on site, as it is supplied ready-mixed. This not only reduces labour costs but also speeds up the project
- There is no labour cost for wheelbarrowing the concrete from the mixer truck to site. New Mix Concrete takes care of that at no additional cost
- As there is no waste, labour is not required to remove any surplus concrete.
- Material costs are reduced:
- You only pay for the barrow mix concrete you use which can be significantly cheaper than ordering a specific amount of concrete with a percentage of waste
- The concrete mix can be adjusted on site if needed which removes the risk of being left with concrete you cannot use
- Different mixes can be supplied from the batching unit on the same day for different elements of the project, saving the cost of placing multiple orders.
- Wheelbarrowing the concrete to where it is needed overcomes the problem of sites with limited access such as back gardens or city centre properties
- Barrow mix concrete is freshly mixed to a quality grade immediately before pouring, ensuring it is supplied when at its prime quality.
