What access do the trucks need?

Our vehicles are heavy. If they need to leave the public highway, we cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to the site. Our drivers will do their best to make informed decisions about the safety of taking their vehicles onto your site but any damage to drains, manholes etc is the customer’s responsibility. If you think the access may be a problem, you can ask us to come and look at your site or request a mini mix vehicle which is lighter and smaller.

Is ready-mixed concrete dangerous?
Ready-mixed concretes can be if it is not handled with proper care. Wet concretes can burn and cause dermatitis, we suggest caution when handling ready-mixed concrete as follows:

Caution for everybody handling cementitious material, concrete and screed

Fresh concrete or screed can cause serious burns to skin and eyes as well as skin disease and dermatitis.

Do not swallow.

Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Immediately wash off any fresh cementitious material from the skin and thoroughly washout any affected eye.

If swallowed do not induce vomiting but seek medical advice.

Wear protective clothing (such as goggles, gloves, impervious boots, trousers and long sleeved clothing).

Immediately remove any clothing or item saturated with cementitious material and wash thoroughly before reuse.

Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or in the case of doubt.
Is compaction/vibration really necessary?

Yes. Failing to tamp, compact or vibrate the wet ready-mixed concrete could leave air pockets which could seriously weaken the compressive strength and durability of the ready-mixed concrete. Also, this process ensures the ready-mixed concrete is at its most dense and, where reinforcing metal is used, ensures that the bond is at its best.
Does the weather affect ready-mixed concrete?

Yes. Extreme hot or cold weather could affect the ready-mixed concrete and it would be at your own risk. Concreting in cold weather should be carefully considered before starting. The most favourable conditions are between 10-20°C with low wind speeds. Proper curing can negate the impact of the weather. But in very extreme conditions ready-mixed concretes should not be laid.
