Structural concrete normally consists of cement, fine mineral aggregate and coarse mineral aggregate. These proportions, however, are often varied to achieve the strength and flexibility required for a particular setting. In addition, concrete contains a wide range of chemicals that imbue it with the characteristics desired for specific applications. The cement is mixed with the other ingredients: aggregates (sand, gravel, or crushed stone), admixtures and water. Aggregates are pre-blended or added at the ready-mix concrete plant under normal operating conditions. Confidence Ready Mix concrete is manufactured in a modern, fully computerized plant with two cement silos of capacity 100 MT each. The mixing operation uses rotation or stirring to coat the surface of the aggregates with cement paste and to blend the other ingredients uniformly. A variety of batch or continuous mixers are used to produce the perfect blend. Once the concrete mixture is ready, it is transported to the work site in transit mixers. Confidence Ready Mix has mobile and stationary pumps capable of discharging concrete at high elevations, over long distances. CRM has the facilities to manufacture concrete maintaining the grade and mix design as required and advised by the client. A large fleet of the latest models of Transit Mixers and concrete pumps to suit different terrains and work sites ensures that our customers get timely and uninterrupted supply of premium quality concrete.

Modern concrete mix designs can be complex. The choice of a concrete mix depends on the need of the project in terms of strength, appearance and in line with local legislation and building codes. The design is developed by determining the requirements of the concrete. These requirements take into consideration the weather conditions that the concrete will be exposed to in service and the required design strength. The compressive strength of a concrete is determined by taking standard molded, standard-cured cylinder samples.
