Using Ready-Mix Concrete for Commercial Applications

Oct 24, 2024

Ready-mix concrete offers durability, strength, and design flexibility, making it an ideal solution for commercial applications such as buildings, parking lots, and industrial-strength flooring. Structures built with ready-mix concrete require less maintenance, resulting in significant cost savings over the project’s service life, and ready-mix provides unmatched fire and corrosion resistance.

Tilt Wall Construction

County Materials’ Tilt Wall Ready-Mix is made with a formula specifically designed to offer unmatched flexural strength and resilience. In the tilt wall building process, concrete panels are placed horizontally on grounded slabs and tilted upward with a crane. The crane then sets the walls upright on prepared foundations. This technique offers several advantages, including faster installation, enhanced safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Meeting Durability Demands

Ideal for loading docks and warehouse floors, ready-mix resists wear from heavy machinery and extensive forklift traffic. It can also be precision-leveled for optimal machinery and equipment operation. By using 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. 

Lasting Advantages for Parking Lots

Ready-mix concrete offers several advantages over other paving materials for parking lots. Due to its resistance to aging, wear, and weather, concrete parking lots can last up to 30 years with minimal maintenance. It has a greater ability to withstand manmade and natural elements, including vehicular loads and the stresses of weather exposure. Moreover, its high light-reflective properties offer greater visibility than other materials, reducing the number of light poles needed to provide safe nighttime visibility.
