In construction is imperative to have high quality concrete and our ready mixed concrete supplied by Barrowcrete is just that. However, it is not always smooth sailing as some projects may require what we call extreme concrete delivery and involve us delivering our high-quality concrete in more difficult terrains.
This is where forward planning comes into effect from our experts, and we will look at how working together if you have a more challenging to reach project area, we can overcome this and deliver high quality ready mixed concrete to the most difficult of terrains.
Let’s look at some of the ways we can ensure extreme concrete delivery is a smooth process.
Plan and schedule –
It goes without saying but planning is key in these situations and having a plan in place helps to ensure a smooth, stress-free delivery process. Prior to delivery the quantity is discussed and the mix agreed. The delivery date is then agreed to ensure that the concrete is delivered exactly when needed. We also always advise to order a little more just in case of any slight mis measures.
Prepare the site –
Before we deliver the concrete we always advise on the preparation of the site. Any debris and obstacles that will restrict access of the concrete truck need to be removed and the ground needs to be level and compact before the pouring process.
Communicate –
We ask for you to communicate with us so that we can discuss any potential delays or issues before they arise. We also ask for exact locations and if you can foresee any hazards such as low branches, cables or road works that may impair the delivery. We always confirm time and date a couple of days before with you.
Labour –
Its always important to make sure that you have the workforce available for when we arrive with your concrete to make sure things run smoothly on the day if we are not placing the concrete for you.
