What is ready-mix concrete?
Ready mix concrete is a mixture of 4 parts: aggregates, additives, water, and cement. Anybody can prepare it but the method and correct proportions for mixing these parts will determine whether the job is a success or failure concerning the functionality and durability. The mix and transportation time have a direct effect on the end cost. We need to have well-educated and informed customers to take the best decisions in their projects. We have a really useful tool to calculate your needs, go check it.
AGGREGATES
The mixes are comprised of approximately 60% to 70% aggregate obtained from quarries or material banks. The quality of the aggregate is indispensable. That is why we carefully choose the material banks used to produce aggregates for the different sizes based on the ASTM standards.
WATER
Water is an indispensable element for preparing a mix. The quality of the mix will be guaranteed by applying the correct proportions and temperature. That is why ROCKET READY-MIX has reserves and water cooling plants so our ready-mix concrete remains in the best condition when it is transported from our plant to the site in Houston.
ADDITIVES
Additives are solid or liquid chemical elements that may be added to the concrete mixture before or during preparation. They are used to improve the durability and resistance of the concrete when it hardens or to obtain a faster setting time to make the most of the project delivery time.
CEMENT
Cement is an element that binds a mix and it is what gives concrete its resistance. There are different types of cement and ROCKET READY-MIX guarantees you that the correct proportions and type will be used for each mix that we take to your site.
