Question 1

What is volumetric concrete?

Accepted Answer

A volumetric concrete mixer carries the individual ingredients required to make concrete and mixes the concrete on site. The machine measures and mixes the required quantities at your project, giving greater flexibility than traditional drum-mixed ready-mix concrete. You only pay for what you pour.

Question 7

Can your concrete wagon access my site?

Accepted Answer

Volumetric concrete wagons are large, heavy vehicles. Before booking, consider road width, tight corners, narrow lanes, overhanging branches, low bridges, weight restrictions, gates, driveway width, ground conditions, turning space, parking restrictions and distance from wagon to pour. If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll advise.
