Transportation of Concrete at Construction Sites

Production of Concrete & transportation of Concrete are two important tasks at every Construction Site. Production of Concrete is mainly done with Concrete Batching plants for all types of projects but we have two different ways of delivering concrete from production site to dumping site. If construction project is executed within a limited space for example within some meters of distance, concrete can be delivered at site with the help of Concrete Pumps. Concrete pumps can deliver concrete with in a distance of some meters through pipe line. Concrete can be delivered in horizontal as well as vertical space. Building construction projects are best example of delivering concrete with Concrete Pumps.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              But in most of the construction projects, concrete needs to be delvered at a distance of some kilometer. At such construction projects, Concrete transportation is done with Transit Mixers. These mixers are designed in such a way to prevent mixed concrete from water loss. These mixers are mounted on Truck chassis as to cover a longer distance with miximum concrete carrying capacity. Road Construction projects are best example of transportation of Concrete. At several construction sites, distance of concrete landing sites is not not far from concrete production sites, only with in few kilometer of range & concrete cannot be delivered with concrete pumps.                                                                      Employing truck transit mixers is very expensive. At such construction projects, Tractor operated Transit Mixers are employed for tranportation of Concrete. Tractor transit mixer are having concrete carrying capacity of 4cuM & easily operated with Tractors. Tractor transit mixers can easily carry concrete up to a distance of 10-15 Kms. There is a huge difference in operational & running cost of Tractor transit mixer as compared to Truck Transit Mixers.

Conclusion : Transportation of concrete at construction sites is a fundamental need. Transportation of Concrete depends primarily on the distance between concrete production site & concrete landing site. Concrete Pumps, Truck Transit Mixers & Tractor Transit mixers are the best & effective ways of transportation of Concrete.
