Frequently asked questions.
What is ready-mix concrete?
It is a construction material made by mixing cement, water, aggregates and, where needed, admixtures. It can be shaped when fresh and gains strength as it hardens.
What information defines a concrete requirement?
Technical specifications, strength class, consistency, aggregate size, quantity, site location and the pour schedule are assessed together.
Who specifies the concrete strength class?
The authorised project design team specifies the strength class in accordance with the structural design and technical specifications.
Why does consistency matter?
Consistency affects how fresh concrete is transported, pumped and placed. It is assessed alongside the application conditions.
What does a mobile batching plant offer?
It enables production close to a large project, configured to suit site conditions. Besantaş’s plant at Yenişehir Evleri is one example.
How are deliveries planned?
Production scheduling is coordinated with the site location, vehicle access, placement point and pour schedule.
How are pumping requirements assessed?
Site access, the placement point, available working space and the pour plan are assessed together with project teams.
What does quality control cover?
Technical requirements, material and production checks, laboratory testing and site coordination are considered together.
