  • What is ready mix concrete used for?

    Ready mix concrete can be used for all of your residential to commercial needs, from driveways and patios to tilt-wall distribution centers.

  • What is concrete mix design?

    Concrete mix design is the process of selecting suitable ingredients for concrete and determining their relative proportions to produce concrete that has the desired strength, durability, and workability for a specific construction application. 


    This involves careful selection and proportioning of cement, aggregates (sand, gravel, or crushed stone), water, and any admixtures or additives that may be required to enhance specific properties of the concrete.  The goal is to achieve the most economical combination of materials that will produce concrete with the required performance while ensuring it is workable for placing and finishing.


    We have a large database of mix designs for projects of any size including certified Iowa DOT mix designs.
