Due to increasing convenience, consistency of quality,
cost and time efficiencies, there is a growing demand
for RMC.
RMC has several inherent advantages over conventional
cement and customers prefer RMC to conventional concrete.
The benefits are derived in critical aspects like Raw
Material where selection & sourcing is done by skilled
RMC personnel rather than using client over consultant
personnel , storage can be at a single point rather
than multi locational , and delivery of concrete can
be thru transit mixers at site rather than manual loading
and unloading.
Apart from above , even the production of concrete is
another area where RMC scores over conventional methods
where concrete weighing , w/c ratio , dosing of admixture
and moisture control is all done manually or by approximation
whereas RMC utilizes batching plant, computerized and
lab control to produce consistent & standard quality.
For placing the concrete, RMC uses concrete pumps rather
than manual hoists or cranes and discharge rate is again
20 times faster
The most paramount factor i.e. quality of RMC is excellent
due to its consistency and assured quality. Every batch
is tested as against one in 25 batch testing of conventional
concrete.
Over & above the inherent advantages of RMC, it
is pertinent to mention that RMC is environment friendly
and reduces environment pollution at work site and due
to high mechanization, the labour factor is reduced
which saves high labour accommodation cost, electricity
and water etc.
