Concrete Delivery Preparation
What safety measures does Mighty Concrete take when working with concrete?
It is crucial to wear protective gear, including gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing. In addition, avoid skin contact with wet concrete, and ensure proper ventilation.
What type of ground preparation is needed before concrete delivery?
Ensure the ground is level, compacted, and free of debris. Formwork should be securely in place, and any necessary reinforcement should be installed.
How should I prepare for concrete delivery?
Ensure the delivery area is clear of obstructions and that there is sufficient space for our truck to access the site. Plan to unload and spread the concrete quickly, as it begins setting immediately. Proper preparation ensures a smooth delivery.
Different Types of Concrete
Ready-mix or volumetric – the difference?
We deliver ready mix concrete pre-mixed and ready to pour. Volumetric concrete is mixed at your site, so you can change the mix or make just the right amount. Ready mix is faster, while volumetric concrete is great if you need flexibility.
Is Mighty Concrete suitable for outdoor patios?
Yes, our concrete is a durable and versatile material for patios. Proper drainage and sealing are essential for long-term performance.
What is the recommended thickness for a concrete driveway?
Standard residential driveways should be 4 inches thick, while heavy-duty driveways, especially those that handle trucks or RVs, should be at least 6 inches thick. The right thickness ensures durability and prevents cracks or damage over time.
What types of concrete does Mighty Concrete offer?
We provide various concrete mixes, including ready mix concrete, volumetric concrete, screed, aggregates, etc. Our team can advise on the best mix for your project to ensure the correct concrete is selected.
What is the best type of concrete for my domestic driveway?
A durable, medium-strength mix with proper drainage is ideal. Mighty Concrete can advise on the specific mix and thickness needed for your driveway, considering vehicle weight and local climate.
Which type of concrete can handle heavy transport?
For heavy weight transport, use high-strength reinforced concrete. This mix, with optimized aggregates and steel reinforcement, withstands significant compressive and tensile loads. Proper curing and thickness are essential for durability under heavy vehicle traffic.
Concrete Curing
How long does it take to set?
Concrete starts to harden in 1-2 hours but needs 24-48 hours to dry properly. You can walk on it after one day, but it takes about 28 days to become fully strong. We recommend avoiding heavy use during the first week to keep it strong and smooth.
What factors affect concrete setting time?
Temperature, humidity, and the concrete mix itself influence setting time. Warmer temperatures accelerate setting, while colder temperatures slow it down. Admixtures can also alter setting speed.
Can concrete be painted or polished?
Yes, we can add pigments to create coloured concrete. This allows for decorative finishes in patios, walkways, and other visible concrete applications. Please contact the team to discuss your options.
How do I prevent cracks in my concrete after curing?
A proper mix design, adequate curing, and appropriate control joints are essential. It is also important to avoid placing concrete in extreme weather, and ensure a stable base.
Concrete Pump
Does Mighty Concrete possess the tools to deliver concrete to commercial sites?
Yes. We use concrete pumps to deliver concrete through pipes to tricky spots like narrow gardens, basements, or upper floors of buildings. This saves you from carrying concrete by hand and helps get the job done faster and cleaner.
Does the Mighty Concrete offer ground-line and boom pumps onsite?
Yes we provide ground-line and boom pumps for concrete pumping. We can arrange for concrete pumping services for your location. This is helpful for hard-to-reach areas or large-scale pours. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
What type of concrete mix is required for pumping?
The mix should be the right consistency to prevent blockages. Speak to our expert team to discuss your requirements.
