Volumetric Advantages

In this case, volumetric deliveries really come into their own – and Granitmix is proud to offer the leading volumetric concrete delivery service across Glasgow, Edinburgh and the wider Lanarkshire and Borders regions.

Volumetric deliveries allow smaller mixes to be made on-site, which could be ideal for smaller DIY jobs such as driveways, garage bases, garden paths, footings and over-sites. A volumetric delivery is arguably the most efficient method of mixing available without the hard labour associated with doing the job yourself. In fact, volumetric deliveries are far less time consuming and wasteful than individual mixing because you won’t have to hire equipment or allocate labour to mixing; and you also won’t be wasting time waiting for further deliveries if you have underestimated the amount of materials you require.

With this in mind, let’s take a look at some of the advantages in more depth:
 

• No waste: An unmixed product is always usable, so you won’t be wasting any concrete if you over order.
   
• Long distance and remote deliveries: You can be sure that the concrete you are using is always fresh because it is mixed on-site no matter how far away you are.
   
• Multiple small deliveries: Thanks to the computer metered delivery service, you’ll be sure that each delivery is accurately billed.
   
• Multiple large deliveries: Large jobs are also accurately billed because of the accumulative computer measuring system.
   
• Accurate concrete specification: With the volumetric truck delivery service it’s not a case of “one size fits all” with the Granitmix readymix concrete. Instead, the mixer is calibrated to deliver highly accurate concrete to a required specification and its easy to operate controls ensure different mix settings can be established accurately at any time.
