What Is Ready Mix?
Concrete is made up of three basic components. water, aggregate, and the cement that act as a binding agent when mixed with water and aggregates.
What are the Ready-mix
Uses?
Concrete is the most used construction material on the planet. It can be formed into various shapes when freshly mixed and hardened into a strong substance
How do we mix the Concrete?
There are so many methods of mixing ingredients of concrete. ALMISNED READYMIX Company has a good outlook and a high-efficiency Batching Plant. Our Batching plant is equipped with a fully automatic and computerized control system for mixing the ingredients.
How do we evaluate concrete?
Our experienced materials engineer works in our well-equipped Laboratory, supported by experienced Technicians to control the quality of concrete. We follow the ASTM, BS, AND QCS standards to monitor the quality of the ingredients used in the concrete. And, test the hardened concrete with a compression machine to evaluate the Strength of the supplied concrete.
What are the batching methods?
Batching can be done in 2 different ways:
Volume Batching:
In volume batching, each material is measured by a specifically fabricated volume scale.
Weight batching:
In weight batching, each material is measured with a weighing scale. The scale is monitored by a computer and has maximum tolerance factor of 0.03%.
Concrete casting process
After the concrete batching, the truck mixer will come to the checkpoint where the visual check will be carried out. After This process, the slump test will be done which will show the water-to-cement ratio for the concrete.
Troubleshooting
Common Problem | Causes | Action | Solution |
Concrete Cracks | Cracking is one of
the most common forms of concrete damage. Cracks can be caused by factors such
as drying shrinkage, temperature changes, improper curing, and excessive loads.
Different types of cracks include hairline cracks, surface cracks, and deep
cracks.

Honeycombing
| Concrete honeycombing
refers to a condition in which voids or air pockets are present in the concrete
mix, often resembling a honeycomb pattern. This issue can weaken the structural
integrity and durability of concrete.

Spalling | occurs when the
surface layer of concrete flakes off, exposing the aggregate underneath. This
can be caused by freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion of embedded reinforcement, or
chemical reactions that cause the concrete to deteriorate.

Scalling | Scaling is similar to
spalling but involves the loss of thin layers from the surface of the concrete.
It often occurs due to freeze-thaw cycles, where water penetrates the concrete,
freezes, and causes the surface to break off.
