High Scale Infrastructure

Mastour Ready Mix is a well-established and market leading ready mix concrete producer in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

We believe that we can make a tremendous difference by helping to build affordable housing and better, more modern, and durable community infrastructure such as roads and sidewalks, schools, hospitals, parks, and other public spaces.

The intelligent use of concrete as a building material can reduce key environmental impacts that contribute to climate change and other significant environmental issues. Concrete’s inherent properties—extreme durability, rigidity, and high reflectivity—make it ideal for large scale infrastructure projects.

When we participate in the development of large scale infrastructure projects, a primary focus is on concrete paving for roads, highways and sidewalks, buildings, schools, hospital, parks, and public spaces.

Concrete pavements, as compared to those built with asphalt, offer the following potential benefits:

• Greater Durability: Since concrete pavements can be designed to last over 40 years, concrete is the best long-term pavement solution.
• Better Traffic Flows: The durability of concrete minimizes the need for extensive repairs or annual maintenance of roads and highways, thereby avoiding traffic problems for their users. When repairs are necessary, they are typically smaller in scope than those for asphalt pavements.
• Reduced Life Cycle Costs: Although the initial investment in concrete pavements is marginally higher than asphalt pavements, concrete pavements require less maintenance over their lifetime, making them the more cost-effective solution.
• Reduced Temperature: Concrete pavements provide reflective surfaces that minimize the “urban heat island” effect.
• Better Light Reflection: Concrete reflects 33 percent to 50 percent more light than asphalt. This is especially important for driving safely at night and for reducing street lighting costs.
• Reduced Rolling Resistance: Due to its rigidity, concrete paving offers significantly less resistance for a vehicle’s wheels to roll. Consequently, concrete paving requires lower fuel consumption for vehicles traveling faster than 30 km/h, compared to a flexible pavement such as asphalt. On any given roadway where concrete is used, the higher the traffic volumes, the greater the savings in fuel consumption.
• Increased Safety: Concrete pavements reduce the probability of road accidents. They not only provide better visibility at night, but also are easily textured during construction to create a surface that provides superior traction and a quiet ride.

Hidden benefits of Ready Mix Concrete

Mastour ReadyMix is one of the most efficient ready-mix concrete producers in the K.S.A.

Ready mix concrete is generally looked upon as a costly product rather than as a facility for an appropriate quality product on site as and when required. Ready Mix Concrete is considered to be more expensive compared to site mixed concrete. The initial cost of Ready Mix Concrete may seem higher. However, Ready Mix Concrete has several hidden advantages that can substantially reduce cost to the owner. And since these cannot be accurately determined, they are often ignored while evaluating the cost of RMC over site mixed/produced concrete.
The advantages over the site-mixed concrete are–the quality of concrete will be superior over the site-mixed concrete. However, it will greatly depend on the controls and checks exercised at site and at Ready Mix Concrete producer’s plant. The considerable wastage of materials on site due to poor storage conditions and repeated shifting of the mixer location is prevented.
In most cities, the plot area is barely sufficient to store reinforcement steel, concrete and other construction materials. Using Ready Mix Concrete can cause less congestion and better housekeeping on the site resulting in efficient working environment. Obtaining Ready Mix Concrete at site can reduce supervision and labor costs, which would otherwise be required for batching and mixing of concrete at site.
The modern RMC plants have an automatic arrangement to measure surface moisture on aggregates. This greatly helps in controlling the water to cement ratio (w/c), which results in correct strength and durability. Due to automation process the control and check can be emphasized at each and every stage of RMC manufacturing and thus ensuring better and consistent quality batch after batch. RMC encourages mechanization and promotes the use of new materials like micro silica and fibers that can be safely used in ready mix concrete, which in conventional concrete may pose problems

Fire Safe Concrete

The safety of your family is a primary consideration when purchasing a new home. Concrete homes have a much higher level of fire safety than lightweight framed homes, with 4 times longer fire resistance – effectively 2 hours protection compared with 30 minutes for lightweight timber of steel frame construction.

Concrete is an incombustible material and it will not produce smoke or in any way add to the fire. Fires which occur in
concrete built homes will burn at a lower temperature, the house will retain its structural stability and the structure of the building will almost always remain completely intact.

The same cannot be said of lightweight framed homes, where the structural elements become part of the fire, produce higher temperatures and higher smoke levels and the building is frequently completely destroyed, requiring demolition. If you are buying an apartment which is built using lightweight framed construction – check the cost of the insurance premium. Some leading Irish Insurers will not ensure lightweight framed buildings above two storeys in height

Cement

In the most general sense of the word, a cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder .

Cement used in construction is characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Hydraulic cements (e.g., Portland cement) harden because of hydration, chemical reactions that occur independently of the mixture’s water content; they can harden even underwater or when constantly exposed to wet weather. The chemical reaction that results when the anhydrous cement powder is mixed with water produces hydrates that are not water-soluble. Non-hydraulic cements (e.g. gypsum plaster) must be kept dry in order to retain their strength.

The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concrete—the bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong building material that is durable in the face of normal environmental effects.

Concrete should not be confused with cement, because the term cement refers to the material used to bind the aggregate materials of concrete. Concrete is a combination of a cement and aggregate.

Concrete mixer

Mastour Ready Mix is one of the major companies operating in the field of construction and reconstruction depends in its work

A concrete mixer (also commonly called a cement mixer) is a device that homogeneously combines cement, aggregate such as sand or gravel, and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a revolving drum to mix the components. For smaller volume works portable concrete mixers are often used so that the concrete can be made at the construction site, giving the workers ample time to use the concrete before it hardens. An alternative to a machine is mixing concrete or cement by hand. This is usually done in a wheelbarrow; however, several companies have recently begun to sell modified tarps for this purpose.

Industrial Mixers

Today’s market increasingly requires consistent homogeneity and short mixing times for the industrial production of ready-mix concrete, and more so for precast concrete. This has resulted in refinement of mixing technologies for concrete production. Different styles of stationary mixers have been developed, each with its own inherent strengths targeting different parts of the concrete production market. The most common mixers used today fall into 3 categories: Twin-shaft mixers, Vertical axis mixers

Ready mix concrete

The inside of a transit mixer uses a simple Archimedes’ screw to mix and to lift the concrete to the delivery chute.

Ready mix concrete is a type of concrete that is manufactured in a factory or batching plant, according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a work site, by truck mounted transit mixers . This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites.

Ready-mix concrete is sometimes preferred over on-site concrete mixing because of the precision of the mixture and reduced work site confusion. However, using a pre-determined concrete mixture reduces flexibility, both in the supply chain and in the actual components of the concrete.

Mastour ReadyMix is one of the largest concrete manufacturing companies located in the Kingdom of  Saudi Arabia with plants in Jedda saudi Arabia, Khamis Mushayt Saudi Arabia, Abha Saudi Arabia and Dammam Saudi Arabia.

Ready Mixed Concrete is also referred as the customized concrete products for commercial purpose. the Ready-mix Concrete Company offer different concrete according to user’s mix design or industrial standard.

The Ready mixed concrete company is required to equip themselves with up-to-date equipments, such as transit mixer, concrete pump, and Concrete Batching Plant, which needs visualized production management software and also PLC controller.

Ready Mixed Concrete, or RMC as it is popularly called, refers to concrete that is specifically manufactured for delivery to the customer’s construction site in a freshly mixed. 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. RMC can be custom-made to suit different applications.

Ready Mixed Concrete is manufactured under computer-controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods. RMC assures its customers numerous benefits.
