Volumetric concrete delivery for Cheadle projects
The Cheadle concrete delivery we provide is volumetric ready mix concrete, also known as barrow mix concrete. Let’s break down these different types of ready mix concrete:
- Ready mix concrete – traditionally batched at plant to order and mixed in a rotating drum whilst in transit from plant to site. It is delivered ready mixed for immediate use
- Volumetric ready mix concrete – batched at plant but only mixed on demand once the truck arrives at site to produce the exact amount of concrete needed for the project
- Barrow mix concrete – ready mixed concrete that is transported in wheelbarrows from the truck to where it is needed.
How much concrete do I need to order for delivery to Cheadle?
Volumetric ready mix concrete overcomes the conundrum of ordering the right amount of concrete for your project. Because it is mixed on site, volumetric ready mix concrete is produced to the exact quantity and quality needed. There is no waste. This avoids the cost of over-ordering, or part deliveries to cover a shortage.
However, you still need to budget for concrete for your project, so New Mix Concrete provides a handy online concrete calculator. You simply enter the dimensions of the space for which you need concrete to be given the volume of concrete you should order. After this stage you are invited to provide your post code to be given an estimate with the option to book delivery to Cheadle on a specified date.
Why choose volumetric concrete delivery for your Cheadle project?
Volumetric ready mix concrete offers benefits over traditional ready mix concrete:
- Zero waste
Traditional ready mix concrete is supplied to order so is likely to generate waste, whereas volumetric concrete is supplied on demand. Zero waste reduces landfill and carbon footprint
- Flexibility in concrete mix
Volumetric concrete delivery can be instantly adapted on site to allow for changes in the mix, either because of environmental changes or to accommodate individual concrete requirements for different elements of the project. With traditional ready mix concrete you can only work with what is delivered, as per the original order
- Reduced costs
Zero waste and flexibility lead to lower project costs. There is a digital meter inside the New Mix Concrete batching unit, located in the truck, which tells operatives how much concrete has been used. This provides digital accuracy and traceability of the exact mix and volume of concrete delivered, which is needed for site audits, quality control and compliance
- Freshness and quality
Because volumetric ready mix concrete is mixed immediately before it is used, workers have more time for complex, phased pours while the concrete is still fresh. Ready mix concrete that has been undergoing the mixing process from the point of leaving the plant is at risk of hardening in the truck so is not as fresh and workable.
