What are the benefits of a volumetric concrete truck?

Without volumetric concrete trucks would be no ready mix concrete. 

Volumetric concrete trucks come with:

  • Lots of different compartments
  • An inbuilt mixer
  • Durable tires that can move across any landscape

Contractors can fulfil lots of different projects when they book a truck with HH Muckers. Each truck has several different compartments. This means that contractors can order lots of concrete grades and strengths.

Our truck operators know how to handle their machinery. They have years of experience delivering ready mix concrete to contractors all over Potters Bar.  They can manoeuver our trucks wherever they need to go on construction sites.

How our volumetric concrete mixers work

Each volumetric concrete truck in our fleet comes with an inbuilt mixer. Once the trucks arrive on site, our drivers place the materials in the mixer. Combining the materials on-site allows site managers to oversee the process.

One of the big benefits of volumetric mixers is that they can create 1 to 10 cubic metres of ready mix concrete per visit. This is why large scale construction project managers use them.

Each truck has separate compartments. We can create lots of different concrete grades and strength in the same visit. Contractors can order 5 cubic metres of concrete for a residential slab and another 5 cubic metres for an industrial project.

What is ready mix concrete?

Ready mix concrete is a combination of sand, gravel, cement, and stone. It goes into construction sites all over Potters Bar. It is one of the most common construction materials in the world because it is hardy and durable. 

Some suppliers call it ready made concrete. 

Contractors love ready made concrete because it takes the hassle away from sourcing materials. Our team source all the materials and conduct quality tests to ensure they are fit for their purpose.

Once the materials have undergone tests, they go into our volumetric concrete trucks. Our trucks travel 100s of miles every week. When they arrive on-site, our truck driver will place the materials in the inbuilt mixer and create the batch.

How much does ready mix concrete cost?

We are always transparent about the cost of ready mix concrete.

Our prices start from £80 per cubic metre. Contractors prefer buying concrete in cubic metres because there are no hidden fees. They do not have to worry about their ready mix concrete supplier adding extra to their bill. 

By only charging our customers for what they need, we reduce waste. Our contractors do not have to dispose of extra cubic metres of concrete. At HH Muckers, we streamline expenses and waste.

How do you measure the strength of concrete?

Contractors know how important it is to make sure their ready mix concrete is fit for its purpose. Concrete is one of the most common construction materials in the world. It goes into residential slabs, commercial buildings, and industrial spaces. 

By measuring the strength of concrete, we can ensure that it will get the job done.

Scientists use compression equipment to measure the strength of concrete. They take cylindrical pieces from existing batches of ready mix concrete. The machine compresses the samples and measures the strength in pounds per square inch (psi).

Are there quality standards for concrete?

Ready mix concrete suppliers have to stick to strict quality standards. The construction industry is highly regulated. There are lots of quality standards for the different material in the industry.

It is important to put quality controls on concrete. It is one of the most common construction materials in the world. It creates structures that are necessary for everyday life. At HH Muckers, we always stay on top of the latest quality standards for concrete.

We conduct void, density, and moisture tests on all the materials that enter our batching plant. This means that we only ever send out premium quality materials. 

For more information about our quality standards call 01992 635454.

How long do I have to place and finish ready mix concrete?

Time is one of the biggest concerns when working with ready mix concrete. If concrete is left for too long it can become difficult to work with. That is why we always recommend working with concrete as soon as it arrives on-site.

Our guaranteed time slots make it easier for contractors to plan ahead. They can book labourers for a time period when our volumetric concrete truck will be on-site.

Harsh weather conditions like immense heat and heavy rain can also make concrete difficult to work with. We recommend contractors book a time slot for a day that has good weather conditions.

What is the difference between concrete and cement?

Concrete and cement are two different materials. They are sometimes mistaken for each other because they are both common construction materials. 

Cement combines with sand, stone and water to create ready mix concrete. Cement is an important part of concrete. Without cement, concrete would not be able to harden and become a sturdy material. 

Portland cement and Asphalt cement are two of the most common types. At HH Muckers, we use both types in our batches of ready mix concrete. They are known for their ability to create sturdy structures that last a lifetime.

How do you measure concrete?

In the construction industry, volumetric ready mix concrete is measured in cubic metres. One cubic metre weighs approximately 2.4T/m3.

Does concrete gain strength by drying out?

Ready mix concrete begins to dry when the molecules in the mixture bond.

Water is very reactive. When it combines with sand, gravel, and cement molecules, strong bonds form. This chemical process is called hydration. 

When the bonds become stronger and crystallise, ready mix concrete begins to dry. At this point, there are fewer water molecules in the mixture and it becomes stronger. 

Hydration happens whenever there are water molecules in ready mix concrete. The mixture expands, contracts, and dries several times throughout its life cycle.

How long does it take for concrete to cure?

Ready mix concrete cures at different rates depending on the project. Most batches of ready mix concrete will cure after 28 days.

It is important to know that every project is different. We supply 100s of cubic metres of concrete to contractors all over Potters Bar. They use it for construction, industrial, and residential projects.

Here are a few things to remember when trying to cure concrete.

  • Labourers must create an environment that has over 80% humidity.
  • Labourers must also create an environment that is above 50 degrees. They have to maintain this environment for anywhere from 3 to 14 days depending on the project. 

What strength concrete is normally used for a slab under a house?

There are lots of different concrete grades that are suitable for residential slabs. Residential slabs form the basis for homes all over London. It is important to order a batch of ready mix concrete that will create a safe structure.

Potters Bar contractors tend to order C35 and above mixes for residential slabs.

When it comes to advising contractors about concrete grades, we can only talk about general situations. We always recommend speaking to engineers for specific and safe advice.

Why is my concrete cracking already?

All types of concrete are prone to cracks. When a chemical process called hydration takes place ready mix concrete cracks. Concrete shrinks an average of a 1/8th of an inch for every 20 feet. This is why they are more obvious in large scale construction projects.

Hydration happens when there are water molecules in ready mix concrete. Water molecules bond with sand, cement, and gravel molecules. When these bonds occur there is less water in the mixture and concrete shrinks.

Water seeps into ready mix concrete throughout its lifecycle and hydration begins again.

This constant cycle called causes ready mix concrete to expand, contract, and shrink. At this point, cracks form. 

There are a few ways that labourers can reduce the chance of cracks. 

  • They can add expansion joints to concrete. Expansion joints give concrete structure, which reduces the impact of contractions.
  • Labours should only add the exact amount of water necessary to the mixture. Adding more water increases the likelihood of cracks.
