Ready Mix makes construction projects move faster, and you don’t have to worry about your contractors mixing the wrong proportions thus compromising the quality of your structures.
 Of course, concrete is made from Portland cement and aggregates. Portland cement is mixed with water creating a paste. Aggregates, both large and small, are mixed in to form concrete. The aggregates are often sand, rocks, and more. The paste coats the aggregates and causes them to stick together.
The magic in this slurry happens when hydration starts. Hydration is a complex chemical process that hardens the concrete and eventually causes it to become a rock-hard surface.
During hydration, a node forms on each cement particle. This will continue to grow until it connects with another node or attaches to nearby aggregate. This continues until there is a solid, hard, strong mass of concrete.
The concrete is consolidated to compact it. This helps to remove air bubbles and flaws that will reduce the durability of the concrete.
When the right mixture is delivered, in the Salt Lake Region to local construction projects and elsewhere, the concrete can be smoothed out when the surface moisture film disappears. Then a wooden or metal float is used to create an even surface.
If an extra smooth surface is needed, the floating process is followed by steel trowelling. This is a manual process that can create an extremely smooth surface for floors and more.
There are many advantages and a few disadvantages to ready-mixed concrete that every customer should know about.
