Concrete technology

Concrete is much more than it appears at first glance. Depending on the specific need, we can use various types of concrete. Statics requirements, processing speed, external temperature, and many other criteria determine the type of concrete needed.

CONCRETE IS A HIGH-TECH PRODUCT

Why you should seek professional advice before starting your concrete project?

THE CHALLENGE OF CHOICE

For many private builders, concrete is just a gray mass that solidifies over time. In reality, it is much more than that. Depending on the intended use, there is a suitable type of concrete for every case. Concrete must meet not only engineering requirements, but also consider processing speed, external temperature, and many other factors.
 

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS

Often, our colleagues can point you to new, more cost-effective solutions - both in selecting the right type of concrete and how the work is carried out. For example, adding a retarding or accelerating agent to the concrete can reduce costs, as it allows more flexible adaptation to the pace of work. As another example, using pumpable concrete can save you the cost of using cranes, or the cost of manually transporting concrete to the work site.

CONCRETE VS. CONCRETE: QUALITY DIFFERENCES

Why it matters how you build your house and its foundation?

WHAT DOES QUALITY MEAN?

Quality is a very broad concept - but we won’t settle for such a vague definition. We seek to eliminate any question about the quality of our concrete: in addition to continuous quality control, we periodically have our plants and products inspected by independent experts. This way, you can be sure that the concrete supplied by us meets all applicable standards and will have a long service life. The same cannot be said for concrete mixed on-site by you or by a mason.
 

WHY INSIST ON QUALITY CONCRETE?

Quality differences between different batches of concrete are not immediately noticeable. After the concrete is placed, you might enjoy your new home, boundary wall, or terrace for years… or you might encounter serious problems, indicating quality deficiencies in the concrete, before the first winter is over.

Quality problems can easily arise even if a trained craftsman delivers and places the concrete. And if you add the cost of repairs to the original costs, you will end up with higher costs than if you had chosen ready-mixed concrete from the beginning. It’s worth insisting on quality-controlled concrete supplied by us.
 

COSTS ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE PRICE OF CONCRETE

Why you should find out how much the concrete work really costs?

IS IT CHEAPER TO DO IT YOURSELF?

Private builders have to rely on their own strength and often their whole group of friends to realize their dream of building their own house. And when they receive the estimate for ready-mixed concrete, there is a strong temptation to do the concreting job ourselves. After all, water is available, while sand, gravel, and cement are cheap at the hardware store. But this is only the beginning… All supplies have to be transported to the site and stored there. A concrete mixer has to be bought or rented, which operates on electricity. While our own manual work is free of charge, the friends whom we manage to lasso in for a day’s work need to be fed, at the very least. And then, once the concrete is placed, someone still has to clean up the storage areas, take care of the unused materials, and return the rented or borrowed machines and tools. In the end, if we take an honest look at what the job entails, the true cost is eye-popping - and difficult to justify when compared to the price quote for professional ready-mixed concrete.
 

SHORT-TERM SAVINGS, LONG-TERM COST!

But it's not just about saving on the cost of supplies. The main advantage of using ready-mixed concrete is that it speeds up construction - and time is money. It’s also worth remembering that if something goes wrong with your do-it-yourself project, you can’t very well demand compensation from yourself or your friends.
 

READY-MIXED CONCRETE IS READY TO PUMP

Why ready-mixed concrete can be a solution even for tricky situations?

NOT ONLY LIQUIDS CAN BE PUMPED!

While ready-mixed concrete is not fluid during transportation, it is plastic (malleable). And this malleable ready-mixed concrete can be precisely pumped to where it is needed using a so-called concrete pump.
 

WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A CONCRETE PUMP?

A concrete pump is advisable when:

• Manual transport would be too exhausting: For example, in a four-story building without a lift.
• Large quantities need to be immediately incorporated on-site: For instance, during the concreting of a ceiling, where a large quantity of concrete needs to be efficiently and quickly delivered to the appropriate location.
• The target location is inaccessible or difficult to reach: If the area where the concrete needs to be incorporated is hard to access, or if using a mixer could damage the gardens or outdoor equipment.
  
   

FOR A CONCRETE PUMP, NO JOB IS TOO TOUGH

A concrete pump can be used flexibly, similar to a garden hose. For modern concrete pumps, even a distance of up to 300 meters on the ground, or a vertical rise of 50 meters - even through roofs - are no obstacle. We have many types of concrete pumps available, regardless of the quantity of concrete being ordered. Our sales representatives or dispatchers are happy to provide detailed information.
 

CONVENIENCE EVEN ON SMALL WORKSITES

Using ready-mixed concrete is advantageous not only for large construction jobs, but also on small ones - due to time and labor savings. Even for a smaller quantity of concrete, it’s worth choosing ready-mixed.

TIME IS MONEY!

A major advantage of using ready-mixed concrete is that you save time and work hours, which you would otherwise have to pay for. In this regard, there is no difference between small and large construction sites: the use of ready-mixed concrete is possible and cost-effective everywhere. And you don't have to give up its advantages even if you only need a cubic meter.
 

IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF, EVEN ON A SMALL JOB, YOU STILL HAVE ALL THE INCONVENIENCES

Even and especially when you only need to concrete a small area, such as a new terrace or the base of a fence around the garden, you face all the inconveniences of mixing concrete by hand, including storing the supplies, mixing, and removing the leftover material … usually when you were hoping to plant a flower garden in the place where the sand pile is now.
 

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING

But if you contact our sales team in a timely manner, we will find a way for you to enjoy the benefits of quality-controlled ready-mixed concrete, at an affordable price, even for small jobs.
