INTRODUCTION

What is Ready Mixed Concrete

Ready Mixed Concrete, or RMX as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer's construction site in  a  freshly  mixed  and plastic  or  unhardened state. Concrete itself is  a  mixture  of Portland Cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and  gravel or  crushed  stone.  In traditional work  sites,  each  of  these materials   is  procured  separately  and  mixed   in   specified proportions  at  site to make concrete. Ready Mixed  Concrete  is bought  and sold by volume - usually expressed in  cubic  meters. RMX can be custom-made to suit different applications. RMX - Adding value to concrete

Ready Mixed Concrete is manufactured under computer-controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated  equipment and methods. RMX assures  its  customers numerous benefits:

* Uniform, consistent and assured quality of concrete

* Flexibility in concrete design mixes

* Easier addition of admixtures * Faster and speedier construction 

* Reduced  inventories,  material handling  and  storage  of raw materials at sites

* Savings in labour requirements, labour costs and supervision of labour

* Reduced wastage of materials

The  use of RMX is an environmental friendly  practice  that ensures  a cleaner work place and causes minimal  disturbance  to its  surroundings.  This makes its utility  more  significant  in crowded cities and sensitive localities.

In  contrast  to  this,  conventional  methods  of   making, transporting and placing concrete at most construction sites  are somewhat labour-intensive and suffer from practices which may  be erratic and not very systematic.

Therefore the use of Ready Mixed Concrete can prove to  more cost effective in the longer term while ensuring that  structures are built faster and using concrete that comes with higher levels of quality assurance.
