Transport and Pumping
Transport
Ready mixed concrete, once manufactured, needs to be transported to the site within a certain timeframe. RDC Concrete maintains a fleet of transit mixer trucks of varying capacities which will deliver the ready mixed concrete to your site in accordance with an agreed upon schedule.
To ensure speedy and efficient delivery, the RDC Concrete team will survey the site to ensure that the transit mixer trucks will have unimpaired access to the site. Among the factors they will consider are:
- The access road and ground condition up to the discharge point should be safe and good enough for heavy vehicles.
- Sufficient turning space should be provided for the transit mixer to access and leave the delivery point.
- The distances, heights and clearances should be sufficient for moving the equipment.
Pumping Concrete
Pumping is one of the most efficient means of pouring concrete. In many situations-such as in high rise buildings - pumping is the only viable option. At other times, the ease and speed of pumping concrete makes it the most economical method of pouring concrete.
