The Strengths of Ready-Mix for Diverse Applications

Oct 2, 2024

Ready-mix concrete offers unmatched strength, durability, and longevity, which makes it an ideal choice for various commercial and industrial applications. Structures built with ready-mix concrete require less maintenance and contribute to significant cost savings over a project’s service life.

High Durability for Industrial Demands

For applications such as loading docks and warehouse floors, ready-mix provides resilience and resists wear from heavy machinery and extensive forklift traffic. Ready-mix can also be precision leveled for optimal machinery and equipment operation. 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.

Design Versatility

Concrete can be used to achieve unique designs for contemporary structures. County Materials supplies colored concrete solutions to meet the needs of your project.

A Steel Framing Alternative

Ready-mix is often used to provide structural support for steel framing in mid- and high-rise structures. Compared to steel-constructed frames, structural concrete frames are quieter, stronger, and contribute to reduced operating costs due to concrete’s high thermal mass. In addition, structural concrete offers unmatched fire and corrosion resistance. Concrete framing lasts and requires less maintenance throughout a structure’s service life. 

Outdoor Performance 

Ready-mix concrete provides enhanced safety for unprotected outdoor spaces, like parking lots. It has a greater ability to withstand manmade and natural elements, including vehicular loads and the stresses of weather exposure. Also, its high light-reflective properties offer greater visibility than other materials, reducing the number of light poles needed to provide safe nighttime visibility. Concrete parking lots can last up to 30 years with minimal maintenance.
