Ready Mix Concrete

At TREL, ready mixed concrete (RMC) is produced in its fully automated and computerized concrete batching plants at multiple locations and as per requirement of clients in projects across Bangladesh.

TREL- RMC Unit manufactures and supplies concrete mixes, which are designed in its well-equipped laboratories as per established procedures to comply with various provisions of BD Standards, ACI Code.

TREL RMC Unit’s experienced logistics team works closely with you to ensure that the concrete of requisite quality is delivered on time and in the appropriate quantities.

TREL RMC Unit has the experience and the ability to design, produce and deliver a wide range of ready mixed concrete variants to meet specific requirements.

Apart from concrete mixes of various grades, TREL RMC Unit also produces special concretes.

In Bangladesh, we are providing In Site Concrete Batching Plant (Ready Mix Concrete) Services.

As per requirement of clients, we are installing concrete batching plant at the project site.

Benefits of ready mixed concrete over Site Mixed Concrete

Quality

>> RMC produced from fully automated batching plants guarantees quality since:
>> The raw materials are subject to stringent quality and quantity measures.
>> The concrete is subject to quality control throughout the manufacturing and delivery process.

Diversity of solutions

>> A wide variety of ready mixed concrete can be produced, with ease and on demand, by varying the proportions/combinations of the cement, aggregates and admixtures.

Service

>> Ready mixed concrete provides customers with unique service quality due to the availability of a large number of concrete mixer trucks which enable delivery rates to be kept under control.
>> Supply of special services for difficult worksites like pumps, conveyors, etc.
>> The ability to adapt the pace of deliveries to the customer's needs.

Cost-effectiveness

>> Ready mixed concrete is more cost effective because:
>> Basic materials are now not stored on site and this reduces the need for storage space.
>> Plant and machinery for mixing concrete are not required.
>> Wastage of basic materials is avoided.

Lower Pollution

>> The use of RMC reduces air pollution in and around the worksite as the mixing is done at the plant.

Transport

>> To ensure speedy and efficient delivery, the TREL Concrete team will survey the site to ensure that the transit mixer trucks will have unimpaired access to the site. Among the factors they will consider are:
>> The access road and ground condition up to the discharge point should be safe and good enough for heavy vehicles.
>> Sufficient turning space should be provided for the transit mixer to access and leave the delivery point.
>> The distances, heights and clearances should be sufficient for moving the equipment.

Pumping Concrete

Pumping is one of the most efficient means of pouring concrete. In many situations such as in high rise buildings - pumping is the only viable option. At other times, the ease and speed of pumping concrete makes it the most economical method of pouring concrete.

Technical Services

Ready mixed concrete is available in many variants; each of which has unique properties and uses. Whether your project is still in the planning stage, or you are experiencing concreting difficulties, the TREL team will work with you to understand your needs and deliver the most appropriate concrete products and services.

Fresh concrete needs attention and protection till it achieves sufficient strength and maturity. In the absence of proper care, concrete could develop defects that possibly cannot be rectified at later stage. The TREL's technical experts work with customers to ensure best practices for the proper use and maintenance of concrete are followed so that the resultant structure's strength, maturity and durability are ensured.

Make Your Concrete Last Longer

Here are a few tips that will enable you to ensure that concrete remains good throughout its intended lifespan:

Ordering ready mixed concrete:

Do consult a qualified structural designer to determine the grade of concrete required for your structure. Ensure that the TREL technical team is informed about the correct grade of concrete along with other relevant details (specific contractual requirements or suggestions from the structural designer).

A properly constructed formwork is the cornerstone of a reliable concrete structure. Do have the formwork inspected and approved by a qualified structural designer before pouring the concrete. Here are a few guidelines that will help you build quality formworks:

Compaction of Concrete

Concrete, unless it is specifically designed for self-compaction, must be compacted. Compacting concrete removes the entrapped air and voids, and consequently increases the strength and durability of the concrete. To achieve uniformly compacted dense concrete:

In the general construction of slabs, beams and columns, use needle vibrators of 50 mm diameter. For thin sections, in confined locations, and in structures with congested reinforcement, use a 30 mm diameter needle vibrator. Ensure adequate supply of spare vibrators and adequate fuel at the site.

The concrete surface being compacted must be visible. The needle should be inserted quickly and allowed to quickly and completely penetrate the concrete on its own weight. The needle should not be left in the concrete for more than 10 seconds. If the concrete is being pumped, it will have a slump of 80-120 mm; in this case, the needle should not be left in the concrete for more than 5 seconds. Over vibration may cause mortar to accumulate on the top with the resultant thin layer having poor strength.

Wherever construction joint is to be provided, stop-ends should be firmly fixed to avoid movement of joints and ensure proper compaction of the concrete near stop-ends.

Curing of Concrete

Curing of concrete, which helps retain water in concrete that may have evaporated due to prevailing high ambient temperatures and/or windy conditions, is the last but significant step in concrete construction. Inadequate curing can result in concrete of poor strength and durability.

Curing is generally done by sprinkling or spraying of water, by ponding or immersion, and by covering exposed surfaces with wet jute or hessian cloth. For slabs, ponding is the best method of curing. For effective curing of concrete, do ensure that:

Continuous and adequate supply of water is available at the site throughout the curing period.
