FILMIX CONRETE INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

FILMIX CONCRETE INDUSTRIES,

INCORPORATED clients receive high-quality
ready-mix concrete (RMC) manufactured by our
batch operations. The cost of our services is
determined by criteria such as concrete strength
and cure time.

Concrete's Strength
One of the most significant elements to consider when obtaining ready-mix concrete
is the required compressive strength. Reinforced concrete ranging from 3,500 to 4,000 psi is
commonly utilized on footings and slabs on grade; suspended slabs, pillars, and girders
require between 3,500 and 5,000 psi; and walls and columns require between 3,000 and 5,000
psi.
When using non-reinforced concrete, different strengths will be required. A concrete
strength of 2,500 psi may be sufficient for footings and walls, but pavements require a concrete
strength of 4,000 to 5,000 psi. The strength of outdoor concrete for house modifications should
be 3,500 to 4,500 pounds per square inch.
They offer a wide range of concrete strength from 1500 to 8000 PSI at Filmix
Concrete Industries Incorporated.

3. Available Sizes for Concrete Mixer your company has.

The most common units of measurement for ready-mix concrete are cubic yards or cubic
meters. The normal truck's maximum capacity is 9 to 11 cubic yards, while lower quantities
can be obtained. If you do not use the truck's remaining capacity, you will be charged extra.
The location and form that will be employed will also influence the amount of concrete ordered.

4. Mobilization/ Demobilisation fee for Pump Crete

Concrete Pump Truck (Pumpcrete)

A concrete pump truck, also known as a pumpcrete

truck, is a machine that is used to pour ready-mixed
cement during large-scale construction projects.
This facilitates the transfer of concrete to elevated
regions where direct pouring is difficult.
If our clients choose to use it, this service
will be available to them.

Fees for mobilization of our pumpcrete (concrete pump truck) varies per branch. For
Davao area, our fees are 16,000 per engagement for 32 cubic meters and below then 500
per cubic meters for 32 cubic meters above.

5. Please discuss the challenge why Pump Crete is required.

The following are the advantages of using Pump Crete on a large-scale construction:
1. Saves Money
Pumpcrete may cost more to buy or rent than other pouring methods, but the time and
labor savings can easily cover the costs – which is why Pumpcrete is regarded a
reasonable choice for many difficult job sites.

2. The Most Convenient Concrete Pouring Method

Pumpcrete, when compared to standard barrowing, is said to eliminate any issues
during concrete pouring. Pumpcrete allows a work that would otherwise take a long time
and need a lot of effort from professionals to be accomplished quickly and accurately.
Pumps can readily reach areas that are difficult to reach with barrows or manpower.

3. Time-Saving
Pumpcrete allows builders to conduct work on numerous building sites at once,
allowing your project to be completed considerably faster.

4. Increase the concrete's strength

Pumpcrete uses less water than standard concrete pouring methods, which helps to
prevent damage once the structure is completed. Increased concrete strength means less
maintenance and repairs, which saves time and money in the long run.

5. Weather-resistant
Pumpcrete, unlike any other form of concrete pouring, may be used on a job site even
when the weather is terrible.
