Concrete Pouring of Footing Foundation

4Bagger Mixer Output = 15 m3/hr

Volume of Footing Foundation t be concrete poured = 210 m3

Time Comparison

No. of Hours of Concrete Pouring using C3 Pump Mixer = 14Hrs + 2 Hrs (Finishing) = 16 Hrs (almost 2 Shift)

No. of Hours of Concrete Pouring by Sahara = 4 Hrs

Manpower Needed Using 4-Bagger Mixer

1 - Foreman @ P 700/shift for 8hrs = P 700 x 2 shifts = P 1,400.00

2 - Mason @ P 600/shift for 8hrs = P 600 x 2 shifts = P 1,200.00

2 - Steel Man as Cement Bagger @ P 550/shift for 8hrs = P 550 x 2 shifts = P 1,100.00

2 - Steel Man as Sand Loader @ P 550/shift for 8hrs = P 550 x 2 shifts = P 1,100.00

2 - Steel Man as Gravel Loader @ P 550/shift for 8hrs = P 550 x 2 shifts = P 1,100.00

2 - Steel Man as Line Pump @ P 550/shift for 8hrs = P 550 x 2 shifts = P 1,100.00

2 - Labor for Concrete Vibrator @ P 500/shift for 8hrs = P 500 x 2 shifts = P 1,000.00

1 - Mixer Operator @ P600/shift for 8hrs = P 600 x 2 shifts = P 1,200.00

1 - Loader Operator @ P700/shift for 8hrs = P 700 x 2 shifts = P 1,400.00

Total Labor Cost c/o VRB = P 11,700.00

Saving if we use C3 Mixer = P 129,833.73

However, 100% compressive strength is not achievable because of material mix is not fully calibrated. Quality
might be sacrificed unlike if it is batch by Sahara mix, they are responsible for the attainment of 4000psi
compressive strength.

By Sahara, concreting will just take 4-5hrs

By C3 Mixer (4bagger) it will take 14 - 16 hrs

SUBJECT : Comparative Analysis of Ready Mix Concrete and Site Mixed Concrete

Foundation should be stable and expected to withstand huge amount of loadings, if the design
is ok but the implementation and execution of work is not in accordance to good engineering
practice then failure might occur specially on compressive strength. This is risky when we
are talking of structural stability and integrity, we don't need to sacrifice because in the end
what we expect is its reliability and rigidity, thus a lifetime structure that will carry heavy
loadings of chemical products. Always expect the worst case scenario.
