Frequently Asked Questions
Light rain doesn’t prevent concrete placement, but heavy rain requires postponement to maintain quality. We monitor weather forecasts and communicate with you about potential delays. Fresh concrete can handle light moisture during placement but requires protection from heavy rain for the first few hours. We reschedule deliveries at no extra charge when weather conditions aren’t suitable.
Fresh concrete remains workable for approximately 90 minutes after batching, depending on weather conditions and mix design. Hot weather reduces working time while cooler temperatures extend it. Our drivers coordinate timing to arrive exactly when you’re ready to pour. We recommend having your site prepared, tools ready, and sufficient labor available before concrete arrival for optimal results.
Ready mix concrete arrives fresh from our batching plant in mixer trucks, perfect for large projects requiring consistent quality. Premix concrete comes in bags or small trailer loads for DIY projects and minor repairs. Ready mix offers better quality control and efficiency for substantial pours. Premix provides convenience and flexibility for small jobs without minimum order requirements.
Concrete strength requirements depend on your specific application. Residential driveways typically need 25 MPa concrete, while structural foundations require 32 MPa or higher. House slabs generally use 25 MPa concrete with reinforcement mesh. Our technical team provides specific recommendations based on your project requirements, soil conditions, and local building codes to ensure optimal performance.
