For everyone, there will be a dream to have their home. To construct a new home the person should hire the right engineer and workers. Only the experienced can give the best design and result. Then material has to purchase and they need to decide the best material. To construct, the engineers are using concrete and cement.
Concrete:
This kind of concrete is used in superhighways, skyscrapers, dams, bridges, buildings, sidewalks, and even houses. It is a mixture of paste and aggregates. The aggregate is crushed stone or gravel and sand, it is stronger when it’s get older. The paste is composed of water and cement, which coats the surface with rock and sand mix together is known as concrete. This mixture design is set according to the engineer as ready mix concrete.
Advantages of ready mix concrete:
Quality and consistency: For the project requirement the ready mix have workability, water-cement ratio, compressive strength, proportioning of ingredients, moulded and controlled.
Efficiency: At construction by using the advent of technology and the process of manufacturing requires efficient use of cement, less supervision and saves on resources and energy. So it helps to speed up the construction work.
Environment friendly: In the modern world, conserving the environment has become a priority. Preparation of cement causes a lot of risk in dust emission. But ready-mix will reduce the risk with low noise pollution on site.
Convenient delivery: The primary goal of the cement manufacturer is to deliver the best quality material in the needed time. The quantity of material is small or big, but the delivery time is important.
Reduce wastage: The mixture is prepared in fixed quantities and with equality of product. Proper mixing helps to reduce the consumption of cement.
Reduced life-cycle cost: with reliable structure strength, higher service life and structural durability give guaranteed product for business and house construction projects.
Before ordering the concrete, there are some important things to know they are:
Grade of Concrete: For construction site, the quantity in cubic yard or meter, place or address of pouring concrete, requirement time on site etc.
Excessive use: Fly ash proportion should be known in the concrete, the excess use of fly ash should not be recommended.
Source of ingredients: Some sources have good quality. So the engineer should judge the sources which are well known for the quality and buy from reputed sources.
Time for transportation: From the time of loading the mixture should be delivered within two hours.
Admixture: To regain workability some of the projects may use the additional admixture. Some of them contain chlorine, so in the total mass of the mixture, the percentage of admixture should be known.
Test of concrete: Dealers have the test facilities for routine tests i.e. concrete cube testing, concrete slump test, etc. Customers can cross-check the strength and workability of ordered concrete. By checking slump test on the degree of workability and condition of placing in the site.
Traffic problem: To reduce the accidents and traffic, the police have set new rules for the restriction of goods and heavy vehicles during peak hours. So depends upon traffic and rules it is necessary to pour the concrete by planning.
Information about the truck: For each batch, the information should be added to the delivery ticket. Name, date, number, serial number, track number, name of the purchaser, etc.
