How to order concrete
Lako je pogriješiti s količinom. Ako ste naručili previše, to uvijek možete prilagoditi ako održavate dobar dijalog i kontakt s osobom zaduženom za otpremu betona. Ako nam ne date obavijest na vrijeme, ono što je naručeno bit će proizvedeno. Dobra komunikacija također je ključna ako se čini da ste premalo naručili. Ako ne date obavijest dovoljno brzo, to može dovesti do velikih kašnjenja koja mogu utjecati na isporuku.
Amount
You can calculate the volume of the formwork or the volume of the required concrete using (L x W x H). You should also consider a margin of safety based on the conditions in the casting form, as uneven ground or ground that will be compacted by its own weight of concrete may increase the need somewhat.
Reinforcement
Will you use traditional reinforcing mesh or do you want concrete already reinforced with, for example, steel or
polypropylene fibers?
If necessary, we are able to deliver fiber concrete for your project.
Kakav beton? Za što mi treba? Koje su izloženosti?
The fun thing about concrete is that it can be adapted to the vast majority of needs. There are guidelines for which concretes we should use (floor, foundation, barn, wall, load-bearing beam.. etc.) Certain environments also require special concrete (e.g. marine, road, proximity to salt, sulfate influences, etc.). We also get a lot of important information from the type of construction work and the type of concrete designed. With timely information, we can make the necessary adjustments for the transport and delivery of concrete according to the planned requirements of the customer.
Time?
Have you thought about how the concrete should harden? Sun and shade, external influences have a lot of influence on the final result. Have you taken the necessary measures such as heating the formwork in winter? Have the temperature and weather changed compared to planned? How much time do you have until the concrete is completely hardened? What is the outside air / ground temperature? What is the temperature of the concrete?
Is the wind strong, etc...
All of these are influences that can affect the quality of the concrete itself and the finishing work, as well as the appearance of the concrete.
Retarders and accelerators can be added to concrete to adjust the setting time in relation to the points above.
