Producing high-quality concrete begins long before the first yard is discharged. Volumetric mixers are much more accurate than a batch plant that is working just from weight. BUT that accuracy depends entirely on proper calibration and regular quality control procedures. A machine that is out of calibration by only a few percent can produce concrete with the wrong cement content, incorrect water-to-cement ratio, or inconsistent air content. These issues can lead to failed tes

Most contractors first come to Site-Mix for the obvious advantages—cutting out waste

One of the most critical factors affecting the performance of concrete is the water-to-cement ratio (w/c ratio). This ratio directly influences the strength, permeability, durability, and long-term performance of the hardened concrete.

Our continuous pouring capability allows us to set up on-site and produce concrete without interruption.

When people talk about a 2500 PSI or 4000 PSI concrete mix, they are referring to the concrete’s compressive strength at 28 days. In simple terms, that number reflects how much pressure the cured concrete can withstand before failing.

Class C concrete is a structural concrete classification commonly referenced in Ohio construction specifications, particularly in standards published by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).

Water reducers are admixtures that increase workability and/or reduce the water required to achieve a target slump.

Matching concrete color can be a tricky business. For those pouring decorative or exposed concrete, understanding the factors that influence color — and how to minimize differences — is critical.
