Ready Mix Concrete Process

Mastour ReadyMix is a Ready mix Concrete, cement and related construction materials and services company Jeddah Saudi Arabia

Concrete is one of the most versatile, durable, efficient, cost effective construction materials available. With a worldwide production rate of 5 billion cubic tons per year, it is the second most consumed substance on earth after water. The United Arab Emirates (UAE). alone uses about 130 million cubic meters of ready-mixed concrete each year. It is used in highways, streets, parking lots, parking garages, bridges, high-rise buildings, dams, homes, floors, sidewalks, driveways, and numerous other applications.
Concrete has no intrinsic form and its ultimate shape and texture is dictated by the formwork into which it is poured. As a result, finished concrete can assume almost any color, shape or texture. This versatility gives concrete designers and contractors a medium with unlimited potential.
What is the difference between Concrete and Cement ?
People often confuse concrete and cement. Cement is actually an ingredient in concrete that glues together the rock or gravel with the sand, water, and other additives. When a concrete truck is seen driving down the road, it contains ready mixed concrete, meaning a mixture of materials forming concrete.
Is the concrete in sidewalks the same as the concrete in bridges ?
Concrete can be made thousands of different ways. Numerous types sizes and colors of sand, rock, gravel, cements, and chemicals can make today’s concrete do almost anything, from holding up a skyscraper to filling a hole in the ground. Concrete can be made of varying strengths, densities, colors, and characteristics, each serving varying purposes.

Consequently, we possess solid wherewithal & understanding of the technicalities & specific requirements of  Ready mix Concrete that  is to be used for quality & speedy completion of diverse construction projects.

2- AND THE INDUSTRY IS ON THE UPSWING
In most developed countries, such as US and Europe, 75% and 70% respectively of the total cement production is consumed in the form of Ready mix Concrete, due to the several advantages it holds over traditional site-mix concrete. Not only is the quality of the ready mix concrete produced much better than the on-site mix concrete, but even the wastage of the basic materials is eliminated.
With Ready mix Concrete, there is no need for storage space for basic materials at the site, or for procurement / hiring of plant and machinery. Besides minimizing labor requirement, the use of Ready mix Concrete also reduces noise and dust pollution at site and streamlines organization at site.
One of the biggest advantages of Ready mix Concrete use is the massive reduction in the time required for production and delivery. Boosted by these key advantages, the use of Ready mix Concrete  is fast picking up in Saudi Arabia, and Mastour ReadyMix, on the back of its solid experience in this field, is well-positioned to arm clients with high-tech concrete solutions to build and construct mega housing projects, townships, commercial complexes, factories, institutions & universities, bridges, highways, flyovers and railways faster and sturdier.

High Scale Infrastructure

Mastour Ready Mix is a well-established and market leading ready mix concrete producer in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

We believe that we can make a tremendous difference by helping to build affordable housing and better, more modern, and durable community infrastructure such as roads and sidewalks, schools, hospitals, parks, and other public spaces.
The intelligent use of concrete as a building material can reduce key environmental impacts that contribute to climate change and other significant environmental issues. Concrete’s inherent properties—extreme durability, rigidity, and high reflectivity—make it ideal for large scale infrastructure projects.
When we participate in the development of large scale infrastructure projects, a primary focus is on concrete paving for roads, highways and sidewalks, buildings, schools, hospital, parks, and public spaces.
Concrete pavements, as compared to those built with asphalt, offer the following potential benefits:

• Greater Durability: Since concrete pavements can be designed to last over 40 years, concrete is the best long-term pavement solution.
• Better Traffic Flows: The durability of concrete minimizes the need for extensive repairs or annual maintenance of roads and highways, thereby avoiding traffic problems for their users. When repairs are necessary, they are typically smaller in scope than those for asphalt pavements.
• Reduced Life Cycle Costs: Although the initial investment in concrete pavements is marginally higher than asphalt pavements, concrete pavements require less maintenance over their lifetime, making them the more cost-effective solution.
• Reduced Temperature: Concrete pavements provide reflective surfaces that minimize the “urban heat island” effect.
• Better Light Reflection: Concrete reflects 33 percent to 50 percent more light than asphalt. This is especially important for driving safely at night and for reducing street lighting costs.
• Reduced Rolling Resistance: Due to its rigidity, concrete paving offers significantly less resistance for a vehicle’s wheels to roll. Consequently, concrete paving requires lower fuel consumption for vehicles traveling faster than 30 km/h, compared to a flexible pavement such as asphalt. On any given roadway where concrete is used, the higher the traffic volumes, the greater the savings in fuel consumption.
• Increased Safety: Concrete pavements reduce the probability of road accidents. They not only provide better visibility at night, but also are easily textured during construction to create a surface that provides superior traction and a quiet ride.

Cement

Mastour ReadyMix is a Ready mix Concrete, cement and related construction materials and services company Jeddah Saudi Arabia

Cement is the main basic ingredient of ready-mix concrete. Whether in bags or in bulk, Mastour ReadyMix provides its customers with high-quality branded cement products for their construction needs.
Cement is a fine powder, obtained from the calcination at 1,450°C of a mix of limestone, clay, and iron ore. The product of the calcination process is clinker—the main ingredient of cement—that is finely ground with gypsum and other chemical additives to produce cement.

Cement is the most widely used construction material worldwide. It provides beneficial as well as desirable properties, such as compressive strength (construction material with highest strength per unit cost), durability, and aesthetics to a variety of construction applications.
Some properties of cement-based products are:
Hydraulic
The hydration reaction between cement and water is unique: the material will set and then harden. Interestingly, the hydraulic nature of the reaction allows hydrated cement to harden even under water.
Aesthetic
Prior to setting and hardening, hydrated cement exhibits plastic behavior. Therefore, it can be cast into molds of different shapes and forms, and can generate aesthetically interesting architectures difficult to achieve with other construction materials.
Durable
When properly used (e.g., good concrete mix design practices), cement can yield structures which have a long service life that withstand extreme changes in weather conditions and chemical attack.
Acoustic
Cement–based material can provide excellent noise insulation with the appropriate design.

About Concrete

Mastour ReadyMix is a Ready mix Concrete, cement and related construction materials and services company Jeddah Saudi Arabia

Concrete is a composite building material made from the combination of aggregate and a binder such as cement. The most common form of concrete is Portland cement concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally gravel and sand), Portland cement and water. After mixing, the cement hydrates and eventually hardens into a stone-like material. When used in the generic sense, this is the material referred to by the term concrete.
For a concrete construction of any size, as concrete has a rather low tensile strength, it is generally strengthened using steel rods. This strengthened concrete is then referred to as reinforced concrete. In order to minimize any air bubbles, that would weaken the structure, a vibrator is used to eliminate any air that has been entrained when the liquid concrete mix is poured around the ironwork. Concrete has been the predominant building material in this modern age due to its longevity, formability, and ease of transport. Recent advancements, such as Insulating concrete forms, combine the concrete forming and other construction steps (installation of insulation). All materials must be taken in required proportions as described in standards.
