ABSTRACT
The term readymixed concrete, familiar to most people in the construction industry, is generally taken to mean concrete which has been batched and mixed at a permanent plant away from the site and then delivered, readymixed, in purpose-built mixer trucks, agitator trucks or, occasionally, in some form of tipping vehicle. The plant and vehicles are usually owned by the readymixed concrete company (although many trucks are still owner-driven) and may be one of a handful of major operators supplying the bulk of rmc used in the UK or one of the small independent firms still to be found in out of the way areas.
