Currently, ready-mixed concrete is a preferred construction material used for huge projects because of its convenience.

What is ready-mixed concrete?

Bê tông tươi (bê tông thương phẩm) là một hỗn hợp gồm cốt liệu cát, đá, xi măng, nước và phụ gia theo những tỉ lệ chuẩn để có những sản phẩm bê tông theo từng đặc tính cường độ khác nhau. Sản phẩm bê tông tươi được ứng dụng cho các công trình công nghiệp, cao tầng và cả các công trình nhà dân dụng với nhiều ưu điểm vượt trội giúp kiểm soát chất lượng, rút ngắn thời gian thi công và mặt bằng tập trung vật liệu.

Ready-mixed concrete (commercial concrete) is a mixture of sand aggregate, stone, cement, water and additives in standard ratios to have concrete products with different strength properties. Ready-mixed concrete products which are used for industrial projects, high-rise buildings and civil engineering works have many outstanding advantages to control quality, shorten construction time and reduce space for materials storage.

Ready-mixed concrete production process.

xi-mang-roi-long-sonLong Son Cement Company’s cement in bulk is specifically designed for large-scale infrastructure projects. Cement in bulk has high residue and stable quality.

  • Input materials include: sand, stone, cement and additives, which are transported to the concrete mixing station by specialized vehicles and put into the warehouse or stockpile
  • When there is a production order, the materials are gathered and put into the bunker containing the aggregate. The automatic conveyor system puts aggregate into the mixer. At the same time, water and additives from the silo are automatically pumped into the aggregate components. After being mixed, ready-mixed concrete will be pumped directly into the dedicated truck and transported to the works.
  • The station area and transport vehicles after stopping will be cleaned both inside and outside to ensure environmental sanitation.

Benefits of using ready-mixed concrete.

  • Shorten construction time: construction time is speeded up because the production is mechanically automated and aggregate control from the beginning. Besides, the use of ready-mixed concrete also helps to save labor costs.
  • The quality of ready-mixed concrete is even for all position even due to pouring by the tested available proportional machine, not verified by estimation as mixing manually. Therefore, the quality of the product can be precisely controlled.
  • No material storage area: ready-mixed concrete is mixed at concrete station so it is not necessary to spend the space for building materials at the site.
  • A suggestion to choose fresh, and waterproof concrete for roofs or areas with high permeability is that you should choose fresh concrete with additives including many outstanding features such as waterproofing, insulation or fast connection when construction progress needs to be accelerated.
