Ready-mix concrete is an ideal choice for many commercial and industrial applications because of its unmatched resilience, design versatility, and high light reflectivity.
Unmatched Resilience
Industrial environments such as loading docks and warehouse floors must withstand heavy loads and impacts from forklifts and other heavy machinery. Ready-mix proves resilient in these settings, offering long-lasting performance. With the use of admixtures, ready-mix concrete can be modified to meet project needs, including additional load capacity and reduced permeability. The performance and impact strength of ready-mix can be enhanced by adding steel and synthetic fibers.
Structures built with ready-mix concrete require less maintenance and contribute to significant cost savings over a project’s service life.
Design Versatility
Ready-mix concrete can be used for exterior parking lots, interior floors, as well as structural framing. Compared to steel-constructed frames, structural concrete frames are quieter, stronger, and contribute to reduced operating costs due to concrete’s high thermal mass.
Ready-mix can also be precision leveled. This can be important in industrial settings, which require level floors for optimal machinery and equipment operation.
Light Reflectivity
Ready-mix concrete provides enhanced safety for parking lots. Its light-reflective properties offer greater visibility than other materials, reducing the number of light poles needed to provide safe nighttime visibility. Ready-mix parking lots can also help reduce the urban heat island effect, since concrete absorbs less heat than dark colored pavement options.
