Ready Mix Concrete (RMC)
Concrete batched to a design mix at an off-site plant and delivered to the site in a rotating transit mixer.
What is Ready Mix Concrete (RMC)?
Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) is concrete made to an exact design mix in an off-site, computer-controlled batching plant and delivered to the site in a plastic, unhardened state by transit mixer. It replaces mixing cement, sand and aggregate by hand on site, which gives poor quality control and takes up space.
Practical example
A contractor is building an urban skyscraper with no room to store sand or cement at ground level. For the 5th-floor slab, they order 100 cubic metres of M40 grade RMC. A convoy of transit mixers arrives on schedule, and a concrete boom pump lifts the concrete straight to the 5th floor, so no raw material is stored on site.
In SuperWise
Each transit mixer load is recorded in SuperWise as a material delivery challan against the PO line, with the supplier's challan number, vehicle registration, driver, unloading date, quantity and photos. A quality checklist can be attached to the delivery, and the challan carries a quality status. The vendor's bill inward is reconciled against these challans.
