Here at Allmix we understand the importance of efficiency and precision when it comes to the concrete requirements for construction projects. By using onsite mixing concrete quality can be improved as well as efficiency being increased. This is due to onsite mixing helping to not only reduce waste but also saving costs.
What is onsite mixing?
Onsite mixing is exactly as the name suggests concrete mixed onsite. Concrete has been for many years mixed at a plant and transported to site however with onsite mixing the mix is completed at the construction site itself.
Our experts bring the ingredients for your specific mix to your construction site which will be then combined at the ratio required for your mix onsite. This method allows precision and more control over the mixing process. The mix is tailored to the project requirements and means that the concrete is a fresh as it can be when it is used within the construction process. This helps to ensure not only high quality but also the correct amount of concrete to reduce waste and therefore costs are also lowered.
Onsite mixing follows a step by step process which the key indicators are as below.
Site prep and safety – The area for the concrete lay will need to be prepared and levelled to allow it to be ready for the concrete. The space needs to be clear to allow for mixing equipment and to be accessible safely for workers. The workers on the site will need to use correct safety wear and access boundaries should be clearly established.
Measuring – The cement will need to be accurately measured along with the aggregates and water to ensure the concrete is mixed to the right consistency for the project it is being used for. Digital scales and measuring devices are used to ensure precision in this part of the onsite mixing process.
Loading – Once measured the materials will be loaded ensuring the proportions are correct. The ingredients will be carefully placed into the mixer to ensure no spillage or misplacement as any errors can result in the mix being an incorrect consistency.
Mixing – The mix then is started with a gradual addition of water to help to achieve the correct consistency. The mix is closely monitored and additional raw ingredients added as required so the ideal mix is achieved.
Testing – During the mixing process we will test regularly with air content and slump tests as well as visual inspections. This ensures a high quality, fit for purpose concrete is achieved.
This guide allows us to showcase how onsite mixing can reduce waste and also in turn save costs. We hope you find it helpful and if you have a need for onsite mixed concrete we hope that we are your first choice as we are proud to be experts in this field.
