Efficient, reliable and affordable concrete for piling services
We know that construction projects have to keep to tight deadlines, which is why our concrete is always delivered at the agreed time and poured as efficiently as possible. Our large fleet of volumetric trucks enables us to meet the needs of all sizes of piling projects – we are able to batch about one cubic meter of concrete per minute from each mixer, so even the largest jobs can be carried out smoothly. We do not charge for delivery and, as our concrete is batched on site, there is no wastage, so you only pay for what you use. Also, if we find that a different mix is needed when we get to the site, we can easily adapt to suit. To find out more about our concrete for piling projects, contact us at Rapid Readymix today
Rapid Readymix can supply highly workable and high strength concrete for piling projects of all sizes. Our regularly calibrated volumetric concrete mixers can deliver a tailored concrete mix, from 25N to 40N. We can adjust the water ratio and cement content to tailor the mix to protect itself from sulphate in the ground, our mixes conform to a minimum Dc-2 requirement but we can accommodate design chemical classes above this, and provide a concrete mix design certificate if required.
With more than 30 years’ experience in the construction industry we have forged long-term relationships with a number of key piling contractors, which means that we have built up an in-depth understanding of the precise concrete needs of piling projects and the logistical planning required.

We know the importance of providing a consistent concrete mix on site. By finely controlling the concrete mix and only using quality materials, we can ensure our concrete is workable and can be pumped through your piling rig system efficiently. Additionally, as we batch concrete on site, you will only have to pay for the concrete that you use and wastage is kept to an absolute minimum.
Our logistics team are also familiar with the requirements of delivering concrete to a piling operation and can create a delivery plan that suits you, in many cases the number of deliveries is reduced as we can carry more concrete than a conventional mixer. We’re keen to build relationships together, call our team today for a quote or to discuss your needs.
As we use state-of-the-art volumetric mixers that keep all primary materials for our readymix concrete separate, we can modify our concrete to suit the relevant piling system on site, controlling the workability of the mix whether you’re pumping through a CFA piling system or pouring concrete in a simple straight tip. Our mixes will be adjusted to your exact specifications. There are 3 main areas of piling that we most often provide concrete for.
These are:
Bored piles: These open piles are constructed with short solid stemmed augers. Once the pile has reached the correct depth the auger is removed and pile reinforcements and concrete are placed or pumped into the bore.
CFA Piles: Continuous Flight Auger bored piles are constructed with hollow stemmed augers that pump concrete through the centre of the augers to base of the pile. We can provide concrete as well as concrete pump hire if necessary.
Mini Piles: These smaller rigs are used for installing piles where access and space is restricted. Our mixers and pumps can reach even the most difficult to access areas, and our consistent quality concrete is workable and can be efficiently pumped to where it needs to be..
