Concept explainers
The circumstances under which a contractor set concrete batch plant at site.
Explanation of Solution
Concrete batch plant is equipment which is used for combining the ingredients such as sand, aggregates, water with cement and to form the concrete mix.
Usually, a ready-mix concrete delivered from the suppliers is mostly used rather than setting a concrete batch plant in various construction projects as it seems a more economical solution.
There are two conditions under which ready mix concrete does not seem an economical solution and setting up of a concrete batch plant at the site is considered by the contractor. The two conditions are given below:
- The location of the site of work is very remote and it is not practically possible to get the delivery of ready mix concrete from the local supplier.
- When the requirement of pouring concrete at the site is very large for a particular project. So a continuous supply of ready mix concrete is required and will prove uneconomical.
In above both cases, the contractor will consider setting up of a concrete batch plant the project site as it will prove to be an economical option.
