Redefining the pace and quality of construction

ACC set up India's first commercial Ready Mix Concrete (RMX) plant in Mumbai in 1994. Today this business has been reorganized as a separate company called ACC Concrete Limited which is one of the largest manufacturers of RMX in India with over 30 modern plants in major cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi. Hyderabad, Goa, Pune and Ahmedabad.

ACC's pioneering efforts in introducing RMX coupled with the promotion of bulk cement handling facilities have been responsible for redefining the pace and quality of construction activity in metropolitan cities and in mega infrastructure projects.

Numerous landmark structures in India's metro cities have been built using ACC Concrete - mega housing projects, townships, commercial complexes, factories, bridges, flyovers, roads and railways. Prestige projects such as the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the Indore-Dewas bypass, Kolkata and Delhi Metro Rail projects. Most of the new bridge and fly-overs in Mumbai used ACC Concrete and could perhaps not have been completed on schedule without it.

Small building projects and individual home builders seeking high levels of quality assurance can also now usher in the same sophistication and value addition into their construction as some of India's mega projects using ACC RMX- at virtually no extra cost.

What is Ready Mixed Concrete
Ready Mixed Concrete, or RMX as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer's construction site in a freshly mixed and plastic or unhardened state. Concrete itself is a mixture of Portland Cement, water and aggregates comprising sand and gravel or crushed stone. In traditional work sites, each of these materials is procured separately and mixed in specified proportions at site to make concrete. Ready Mixed Concrete is bought and sold by volume - usually expressed in cubic meters. RMX can be custom-made to suit different applications.

RMX - Adding value to concrete
Ready Mixed Concrete is manufactured under computer-controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods. RMX assures its customers numerous benefits:

  • Uniform, consistent and assured quality of concrete
  • Flexibility in concrete design mixes
  • Easier addition of admixtures
  • Faster and speedier construction
  • Reduced inventories, material handling and storage of raw materials at sites
  • Savings in labour requirements, labour costs and supervision of labour
  • Reduced wastage of materials

The use of RMX is an environmental friendly practice that ensures a cleaner work place and causes minimal disturbance to its surroundings. This makes its utility more significant in crowded cities and sensitive localities.

In contrast to this, conventional methods of making, transporting and placing concrete at most construction sites are somewhat labour-intensive and suffer from practices which may be erratic and not very systematic.

Therefore the use of Ready Mixed Concrete can prove to more cost effective in the longer term while ensuring that structures are built faster and using concrete that comes with higher levels of quality assurance.
