Ready Mixed Concrete 

Ready mixed concrete is one of the most versatile and sustainable materials in the construction industry today.  Used in the residential, commercial and infrastructure markets, ready mixed concrete meets and exceeds the challenges of the construction industry.  New technologies such as high-strength concrete, pervious concrete, self-consolidating concrete and the application of color and texture have increased the appeal of concrete as a building material.

The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) estimates that there are over 6,000 ready mixed concrete plants that produce the product and about 70,000 ready mixed concrete mixer trucks that deliver it to the point of placement. Over 450 million cubic yards of ready mixed concrete are produced annually, representing a $30 billion industry.
