Why won't you deliver to ...?

Ready Mix Concrete has a very tight window of time where it needs to be poured and formed into whatever project it's going to be a part of. If your location is too far from one of our plant locations and not near a partner who can serve you within the needed time frame, then we apologetically may have to pass on the job. While some producers may take a gamble at delivering far outside the normal delivery windows by modifying the mixture to delay curing time, our quality and integrity standards are extremely important to us. We won't knowingly deliver an inferior product that has the potential to fail prematurely or unpredictably. We live and work in the communities we serve and getting quality product to our customers is our #1 priority.

How is Ready Mix Concrete made?

In its basic form, Ready Mix Concrete is made with cement and water to form a paste then mixed with an aggregate material such as sand or crushed rock. The exact mixture is selected by the customer or recommended by us depending on the project. Our dispatching software feeds the mix design variables to the batch plant operator, who then loads those materials into your delivery vehicles. The mixing process begins in the truck, and as soon as water is added, a chemical reaction takes place. This reaction continues until the truck is unloaded, and the wet slurry mix is fully cured into a hardened concrete structure. It is extremely important that once the curing process begins, the product is delivered and placed into its final form within approximately 60 minutes. This time varies by mix design, temperature, humidity, and other variables that may speed or slow the curing rate.

How is concrete sold?

Concrete is sold in volume, by the cubic yard in most cases. The simple way to get the volume you'll need to order is to plug your measurements into our handy calculator. For example, to find the cubic yard value needed for a slab 6" thick by 12' long and 12' wide:
1. Convert inches into feet. (6" / 12" = 0.5')
2. Multiply the three dimensions together to calculate the number of cubic feet: (0.5'depth x 12' (length) x 12' (width) = 72 cubic feet.
3. Divide the cubic feet value (72 cu ft) by the number of feet in a cubic yard (27) to get the number of cubic yards. (72 cu ft / 27 ft = 2.67 cu. yards.)

Why do concrete trucks drive so slow?

Thanks for noticing our safe drivers! Our vehicles carry thousands of pounds at a very high center of gravity, which is great for loading and pouring but unfortunately makes them very easy to over turn. To compensate for that, drivers are instructed to reduce speed, not make sudden turns or wheel jerking motions, and to follow at safe distances for adequate stopping time. Defensive driving and leaving plenty of space between vehicles prevent our drivers from having to frequently change lanes or veer off the roadway unnecessarily for quick-stopping motorists. We hope you understand. We'd rather be safe than sorry so everyone can get home safely to their loved ones.

Every structure needs a GREAT foundation.
