Advantages of a Mobile Concrete Mixer Truck for On-Site Construction

Concrete is one of the important structural materials in the modern construction engineering practice, and its supply mode has a direct impact on project progress, quality and cost control. Mobile concrete mixing transporter achieves the on-site preparation and supply of concrete up to with its on-board mixing capability. The mobile concrete mixing transporter, compared with the traditional concrete supply mode, has shown significant advantages in many aspects, which is of great significance to improve the construction efficiency and quality of the site[1,2]. This study discusses the primary benefits of mobile concrete mixing transporters in construction site.

○ Enhance the flexibility and autonomy of construction sites

One of the biggest advantages of this concrete mixer truck mobile is its amazing flexibility and freedom on the construction site. Under the traditional mode, the production and supply of concrete are time-consuming that shall be regarded as the fixed mixing station, while the project shall be reflected in accordance with the production plan and transportation capacity of the mixing station, which is easy to be limited by external factors. The mobile mixing truck can be prepared and supplied with concrete at any time and place according to construction needs, the construction is no longer limited by the transportation of commercial concrete, shortening the supply cycle of concrete significantly, improving the autonomy and controllability of construction. In particular, it is especially suitable for small projects and scattered projects, as well as projects with uncertain concrete demand, which can make it more adaptable to the actual situation of the site and reduce the delay caused by concrete supply problems.

Lower shipping costs and time delays

Based on the traditional commercial concrete supply mode, the transportation cost must be paid for a certain transport distance and the further the transport distance, the higher the cost. Moreover, the transportation process may be restricted by traffic conditions, weather conditions, etc., resulting in delays in concrete transportation, which has an impact on construction progress. The mobile concrete mixing truck can directly produce concrete on the construction site without the link of transporting concrete from the mixing station to the construction site, which can save more than 70% of the transportation cost. At the same time, it avoids the phenomenon of "idle work" caused by transportation delay, improves the construction efficiency, and saves the time cost. It is more cost-effective, especially for remote areas or inconvenient traffic sites.

Treatment of Construction Waste in Respect of Working under Contract

In order to ensure the safety and durability of engineering structures, the quality of concrete has become the key. Concrete is the most frequently used material in construction today, and it is made in a mixing station; after its production in the mixing station is complete under the traditional mode, it must undergo some transportation time, during which the performance of concrete may change (like slump loss, early hydration, etc.), thus affecting the construction performance and final quality of concrete. Through the mobile concrete mixing truck, concrete can be mixed on-site in the field, and the mixing ratio and different performance indicators of the concrete can be controlled in situ, so as to meet the specific requirements at the scene, and at the same time, guarantee the freshness of the concrete at the construction site. On the other hand, the formula can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of site, better meet the special requirements of the project, to effectively improve the concrete quality control level.

Ideal for remote and miniaturized applications

For remote areas and mountainous areas or areas with inconvenient transportation, the cost of building fixed concrete mixing stations is high, and it is not economical. When using the commercial concrete supply mode, the transport distance is too far, the concrete quality is not easy to guarantee, and the cost is high. The mobile concrete mixer transporter is the best answer to such problems, due to its mobility and on-site preparation abilities. Even in areas with little infrastructure, as long as there are some raw material supply conditions, concrete mobile mixing truck can be used to carry out concrete production to meet the engineering demand. In addition, the amount of concrete for small project is small, we may lead to waste due to the use of commercial concrete supply or transportation costs is too high, by the mobile mixing truck the mixture can be formulated according to the actual needs, avoiding waste, economical and efficient.

Minimize concrete wastage and environmental damage

Under the traditional concrete supply mode, the concrete is easy to produce excess due to the inaccurate demand forecast or construction plan change, which results in waste. The lifting of leftover concrete also add cost to the project, but also has a certain adverse effects on the environment. The concrete truck is delivered to the site, which can mix concrete according to the actual demand of the site, eliminating the waste and loss caused by excessive production. At the same time, the transport link of concrete is shortened, the energy consumption and exhaust emission in the transportation process are reduced which can be conducive to environmental protection, meet the sustainable development concept.

Enhance schedule and increase efficiency per project

In short, mobile concrete mixing trucks do an excellent job of shortening the supply cycle of concrete while streamlining intermediate links, improving construction efficiency, and accelerating project progress through their flexible and independent site construction, reduced transportation costs and time loss, on-site quality control of concrete, flexible and adaptable to small and small project construction, and reduction of concrete waste. This is an important positive significance for shortening the construction period and reducing the total cost of the project.

conclusion

Therefore, mobile concrete mixing trucks have a more and more prominent role in site construction with its own advantages. It not only greatly solves the difficulties and problems of traditional concrete supply mode, but also provides a more effective way for improving the engineering efficiency, ensuring the concrete quality, cutting down the cost, and adapting to the more complex and diverse construction circumstance. The mobile concrete mixing truck will gradually develop in the future development process, and play a more important role in the construction engineering field, which is also conducive to the progress and development of the construction industry.
