Overview
Batch plants are used for the production of
concrete and flowable, fill-based material
for use in the construction industry. While
many industrial projects utilize remote batch
plants to supply the concrete needed for their
facility, onsite batch plants offer an alternative
solution when projects are faced with issues
related to local contractor availability or
schedule.
Benefits
Onsite batch plants offer maximum control
of concrete production in terms of both
schedule and materials.

Considerations
The decision to set up and operate an onsite
batch plant should be made while taking into
account a number of cost, infrastructure, and
staff/resource considerations. Fluor’s concrete
experts are on hand to guide you through the
decision-making process, resulting in the best
solution for your projects.
Cost
Initial costs associated with onsite batch
plants can be significant. It’s important to
consider the following cost factors when
determining the overall value of an onsite
program:
• Permitting
• Planning
• Control system implementation
• Insurance
Infrastructure
To efficiently operate an onsite facility,
certain infrastructure elements are required:
• Equipment
• Water
• Electricity
• Storage
• Mobilization / demobilization
• Fuel
• Spare parts
• Redi-mix trucks (augmentable with rental)
Staff/Resources
Onsite batch plants require a team of
experienced resources, solely devoted to the
operation of the facility and the supply of
concrete to the project as required. Typically,
this team should include:
• A Subject Matter Expert (SME)
• Trained operators (2-4)
• Trained drivers (1 per truck)
• Trained laborers
• An expert in engineered mix design
