In this article regarding ready mix concrete in Halifax, we are going to talk about the benefits of using ready-mix concrete and also the amazing qualities and features of the Modulmix 2000. We hope you enjoy the read.
Ready-mix concrete was the brainchild of a German inventor called Jurgen Magens back in 1903, the only issue then being that the way to transport it was not invented until 1907 which means the ready-mix concrete probably had gone off by then and the first recorded delivery of ready-mix concrete was not until 1913 in Baltimore USA. You see the issue, and indeed the only real issue with a ready-mix type of concrete is time. Once it’s mixed you only have a set time before it starts to harden, therefore the key to using ready-mix concrete in Halifax, for example, is to use someone like Spot On Concrete who know exactly how to get the concrete delivered at the right time.

Ready-mix concrete versus Site mixed concrete, what are the key differences?
Concrete is made up of three substances, water, aggregates and cement and is one of the main, if not the main component of all building projects so it’s absolutely vital that you choose correctly the type of concrete that is right for your project as it can have massive financial implications if you get it wrong. A good concrete mix must get the right balance over many decisions such as getting the right consistency, getting the right water to cement ratio and releasing the heat in the production phase at exactly the right time without producing cracks or shrinkage. You must also choose the correct aggregate size for the concrete mix and be able to test each batch for quality and durability.
In 2018 the university of Zurich created the first-ever 3D printed smart slab of concrete which ways around half the weight of a real slab, nothing further though has caught on about its use so in the meantime you will have to stick to ready-mix concrete in Halifax if you are in the building game.
Cement production worldwide has increased substantially over the last 30 years with the emergence, of the far east the main reason for this. China produces an average of over 2 trillion metric tons of cement every year which is, according to statista.com nearly 10 time the amount of its nearest rival India. The United States produces only 5% of the amount of cement yearly that is now produced in China. It’s important to consider this when you also understand that concrete production equates to nearly 8% of the worlds air pollution and is also the main reason, I would think that China is not quite ready to act upon the 2015 Paris Climate change accord. Our ready-mix concrete production in Halifax is on a slightly smaller scale but we like to think it’s equally as important which is why we champion ready-mix concrete as it’s far less damaging to the environment.
So let’s now look at a summary of the above, we found out that concrete is made of three main elements but it’s very much like a chef’s work to create the perfect pour, the chef being the guys and girls at Spot On Concrete and the Modulmix 2000. Ready-mix concrete in Halifax has been around since the beginning of the 20th century and they can now even make a concrete block by using a 3D printer. We also now know that China is responsible for approximately 80% of the cement produced in the world and that ready-mix concrete is far less harmful to our environment. When you order your ready-mix concrete, you will get a time slot allocated, sometimes this can be the same day, your concrete will be tested in a laboratory before it’s sent to the pour site where either a concrete pump, boom or some chaps with wheelbarrows will be waiting to quickly decant the concrete into the pour area for you before it sets.
We hope that this gives you a good overview of Spot On Concrete in Halifax, and the ready-mix concrete option they can supply. Thanks for reading.
