Volumetric concrete provides a smarter way to supply ready mix concrete directly on site. Instead of fixed batch loads delivered from a central plant, a volumetric concrete truck carries the raw materials separately and mixes them on demand – right where you need it.
At Sussex Ready Mix Concrete, our volumetric concrete service gives builders and contractors complete control over mix design, quantity, and delivery timing. This means less waste, flexible pours, and fresh concrete mixed exactly when you’re ready to pour.
Whether you’re working on commercial slabs, structural foundations, or multi-stage pours, volumetric concrete delivers reliability and efficiency on every job.
Volumetric concrete is a ready mix solution produced directly on site using a specialised volumetric mixer. The mixer holds the raw ingredients – cement, sand, aggregate, water, and admixtures – in separate compartments and combines them according to specified mix design at the point of delivery.
This process allows real-time mix adjustments and precise quantity control, ensuring you only use what you need and receive fresh concrete every time.
Precise Quantity Control
You’ll only pay for the concrete you actually use. There’s no over-ordering or having to dispose of excess material.
Fresh, On-Demand Mixing
Concrete is mixed at the job site when you’re ready – avoiding issues with slump loss or premature setting.
Flexible Mix Adjustments
If a project’s requirements change on site, mix strength and additives can be adjusted without waste.
Ideal for Staged or Multi-Pour Jobs
Volumetric concrete is perfect for sites where pours happen in stages, over multiple days, or where access is restricted.
Less Waste, Lower Cost
Eliminating returned loads and excess material can reduce project cost and environmental impact.
