RT Mycock pride ourselves on consistent mix qualities with our concrete but why is this critical for builders here we will look at a few of the reasons why consistency is key.
Every stage of the construction project relies on consistency in mix quality in each batch to ensure that you have a durable concrete with the correct strength which results in long term performance success.
When inconsistent concrete mixes are used this can result in extremely catastrophic demise of the build project as a whole with cracks and weakness and uneven finishes, These are not always spotted straight away and can be seen to emerge as time goes by. This can result in high costs for repairs and rebuilds along with a bad reputation.
When thinking about consistency for your concrete mix means that the concrete delivered is uniform and has the same high quality, strength, workability with each batch for each pour. This means considerable care should be made when looking at all aspects of the concrete including the proportions of the raw ingredients, the strength grade, the setting time, workability, the quality of your raw ingredients and the timings of the delivery and pour. Ensuring each of these factors is uniform and the same high specification means a consistent mix is achieved each time.
If you do not have a consistent mix it can lead to very costly consequences. Cold joints occur when concrete is poured over concrete that has already started to set. Should this happen due to inconsistency your at risk of cracks and leaks which can prove very dangerous to a constructions stability. Another issue with inconsistent mixes are that the load distribution becomes uneven which decreases the load bearing capacity of the concrete. Shrinkage and cracking is also a huge risk with poor consistency along with overall strength and durability reduction. All of these can prove costly to any construction project.
