    Concrete plant operations involve producing a consistent concrete mixture using the proper proportions of water, cement, aggregates, and admixtures. Materials are stored and fed into the batching system where the concrete is mixed and then transported to job sites via agitating or non-agitating trucks. At the job site, the concrete must be carefully discharged to minimize segregation and contamination before placement. Recycling of returned concrete materials also occurs at the plant.

    Purpose of Concrete Plants


    To produce a concrete mixture that:
    is cost effective contains the desired proportions of concrete aggregate, and admixtures meets all specifications is consistent

    Mobile Mixing Plant


    Intermittent or small production quantities Advantages: Combined materials transporter and batching and mixing system. One-man operation. Good preventive maintenance program. Materials must be identical to those in original mix design.

    Non-agitating Trucks
    Transport concrete on short hauls over smooth roadways. Cost of nonagitating equipment is lower than that of truck agitators or mixers. Slump should be limited. Possibility of segregation. Height upon discharge is needed.

    Concerns
    Adding Water Minimize segregation Minimize contamination
    CE552 Concrete Plant Operations 17

    Adding Water
    ASTM C 94 (AASHTO M 157)- Remixing of PCC Water may be added at jobsite provided:
    Spec. w/c-ratio is not exceeded Measured slump less than specified Allowable mixing and agitating time (or drum revolutions) are not exceeded Concrete is remixed min. 30 rev. at mixing speed until uniformity is within limits

    If workability is a concern, consider a water reducing or super plasticizing admixture instead of water.
