What is volumetric concrete?
Volumetric concrete is concrete that is mixed on site instead of being fully mixed before it leaves a batch plant. The truck carries the raw materials separately, then measures and mixes the concrete at the job site when you are ready to pour.
How does a volumetric concrete truck work?
A volumetric truck carries cement, sand, stone, water, and admixtures in separate compartments. When the pour begins, the truck measures the materials and mixes the concrete through the mixing system, producing fresh concrete on demand.
Is volumetric concrete the same as ready mix concrete?
No. Ready mix concrete is usually batched at a plant and delivered in a drum truck. Volumetric concrete is mixed at the job site, which gives you more flexibility on timing, quantity, slump, and mix adjustments.
How much is a yard of concrete?
