Ready mix concrete has several advantages over volumetric delivery. Firstly, it usually results in a more consistent quality since the exact proportions are mixed consistently in one place by experienced personnel. Furthermore, it can potentially reduce costs when compared to volumetric delivery since there may be fewer trips required from the batching plant than if each trip needed especially for volumetric amounts would need to be made. Additionally, due to its convenience and short setup time, this method also allows larger projects (e.g., bridges) with long curing times to be completed more quickly and efficiently than with volumetric deliveries alone.
