Redefining the pace and quality of construction
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 40 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.
