Transport of Concrete in Containers:

This method exclude the loss of mortar and cement slurry during transportation and also ensure the gradual emptying which is essential for concreting reinforced structures. This is one of the major methods of delivering ready-mixed concrete from the mixing place to the point of placing without the required for unloading and reloading. For these reason hoppers, skips and wagon bodies are used. Lorries transport skips and hoppers. Containers are delivered from the transport vehicle to the position of placing the concrete mix by cranes of various types and desired lifting capacity. This method decreases the risk of segregation of concrete and also protects it from atmospheric effects.
