Site-Mixed Concrete in Lancing | Answering Questions on Concrete Pump Hire, Screed and Waste Management
Coastal Concrete Ltd trades as a concrete pump hire specialist and as local screed suppliers for the Lancing area. Site-mixed concrete is one of the most versatile concrete mixes available, and it comes to site in raw component form by volumetric lorry. We also have a fleet of grab lorries and tipper trucks, which allow us to offer a dependable grab hire and muck away service.
While our name might suggest that we specialise in concrete only, this really couldn’t be further from the truth. We have Lancing covered with a full range of professional services and, on this page, we answer questions on our wider range of offerings so that new customers and clients feel suitably informed.
You can call us at any time to ask any further questions you may have.
What is a concrete pump hire service?
Using a concrete pump hire service as an alternative to ordering ready-mixed materials has multiple benefits. When you order a ready-mixed product, the batching work takes place offsite, and the material is already starting to cure as it makes its way to projects in Lancing. A site-mixed concrete isn’t batched until it arrives onsite, so the product is always fresher and easier to work with.
When a volumetric lorry arrives to a project, the components needed for a concrete mix are held in separate compartments in raw form. We only begin to mix the product once we are with you, so there are never any concerns about concrete starting to cure or getting held up in busy traffic.
Not all concrete mixes are the same. We strongly recommend that you use a site-mixed product to minimise waste and control outgoing costs.
Why might I need to use you as screed suppliers?
Because we also cover Lancing as screed suppliers and deliver this service by volumetric lorry too, you are always assured of the freshest and most easy-to-use product for establishing flooring for new builds and similar developments. Like we do with site-mixed concrete, producing screed once we are onsite is the best way to ensure accurate placement with the minimum of wastage.
By choosing us as your preferred screed suppliers, you also won’t need to use a separate pump. Pay for the material used and not a penny more. We can produce dry or liquid (flow) screeds, and our company brings a wealth of experience to projects not just in Lancing, but also across the whole of Sussex.
Will a grab hire service improve how I manage waste?
A construction project generates waste and, if you decide to use a skip or a roll-on/roll-off container, you need to make important provisions for accurate placement of the unit(s) and manual labour for loading. This can impact your operations, especially if personnel on a site in Lancing are forced to stop what they are doing to load waste materials into the hired skips or containers. Grab hire makes waste management faster, simpler and more economical.
This service sees Coastal Concrete Ltd bringing a grab lorry to site. This fleet vehicle has a hydraulic arm with an approximate 6m reach that picks up waste material and loads it onto the truck bed for removal. Because a grab hire collection can take as few as 20 minutes – and because we also supply a trained operator – your onsite personnel remain free to fulfil their own duties.
How do your muck away services benefit site operations?
A muck away service is an extension of a grab hire service but, instead of the grab lorry collecting waste, it collects spoil from earthworks, groundworks and bulk excavation operations. This can include hardcore, rubble and topsoil. In this instance, the grab lorry might load muck away waste into tipper trucks if the expected waste volumes are high to streamline operations in Lancing.
Muck away is a perfect site-enabling solution when a project has large-scale bulk excavation needed. It isn’t realistic to collect huge volumes of spoil in a skip or a container, especially because of weight load capacities, so using a combination of grab lorries and tipper trucks will always be a better choice.
As you can see, we are about so much more than traditional concrete pump hire. While many customers in Lancing choose us as site-mixed concrete and screed suppliers, plenty of others use us for grab hire and muck away to keep all communications in one place. Pre-batched concrete mixes have a role in construction, but a volumetric lorry will always guarantee a fresher product.
