What is Ready Mix and how is it used. Most people think of Concrete as Cement. The truth is that cement is only the powder used to make Ready Mix Concrete. I visited Atlas Ready Mix NYC to ask this question.

Concrete Ready Mix is made up of the following:

1) Stone depending on the job there are many types of Stone used to make Ready Mix.

a) 3/4 blue stone
b) Pee Gravel
c) light Weight

2) Sand also known as bankrun for Ready Mix in NYC it comes from LI NY mostly.

3) Water

all of these three ingredients are added to a Ready Mix truck here at Atlas Ready Mix NYC then sent off to the job where the load is ready to be mixed.

the driver will talk with contractor to see the slump he wants to pour at. Slump meaning how much water or how web the Concrete will be after mixing 10 being to wet a 3 being to dry a 5-6 1/2 is commonly used.
