Why site-mix works on a big job
Every one of our trucks carries dry materials and mixes on site. Nothing in the truck starts setting while it waits at the gate or while a crew that's running behind catches up.
The quantity question is the same as on a small job, only bigger. The plans give one number. The subgrade, the thickened edges and the forms decide the real one. Mixing at the site lets the last part of the pour match what's actually left to fill.
Planning a commercial pour with us
Bring us in early. This is what we'll want to know.
- Site address, which gate to use and who our contact is on site
- Pour date, start time and a backup date
- Approximate quantity, and how the pour is split up if it's in phases
- The plans, and any mix requirements from the engineer
- Where trucks stage and how they get to the forms
- Who's doing any testing the GC or engineer requires
Weather on long pours
Large pours take hours, so the weather window matters more. In a Brevard summer that usually means an early start to stay ahead of the afternoon storms. Settle on a backup date when you book.
Our yard is at 7285 Waelti Dr in Melbourne, and our trucks run out of it to jobs across Brevard County. Call (321) 751-6666 or request a quote with the plans and the pour date.
Questions people ask
Can more than one truck work the same pour?
Our job photos show more than one of our mixers on a site. Send the quantity and we'll talk it through.
What if the pour is done in phases?
Tell us how the pour is split up when you call and we'll talk through how to handle it. With a site-mix truck, nothing is mixed until the operator starts, so the gap between phases doesn't leave concrete sitting in a drum.
Who do you coordinate with on a commercial job?
Whoever is running the pour. Tell us the GC, the concrete crew lead and the site contact when you book, and we'll confirm the start time with them.
