What does MPA stand for?
MPAs, or Megapascals, are the units used to measure the strength and resistance to stress of concrete.
To measure the cubic capacity of anything, you need to measure three of its dimensions, namely: length, breadth, and height. These 3 numbers should then be multiplied by each other to determine the cubic volume of readymix concrete you will need (LENGTH X BREADTH X HEIGHT = M3).
How many cubes do i need?
The general/universal formula is LENGTH x WIDTH x DEPTH. You are more that welcome to phone the office for assistance.
How much time do i have to offload readymix concrete from a truck?
Our service provides you with 45 minutes to offload readymix concrete from the truck. After that, we will charge an additional R500.00 (excl VAT) per 30 minutes.
Which mix is better for constructing swimming pools?
While standard concrete mix can be used for swimming pools, we offer a mix called A POOLMIX which, as its name suggests, is exclusively designed for constructing swimming pools.
It is dryer and stickier (giving it what we call a ‘peanut butter consistency’) and is ideal for vertical walls in pools.
Does Eastern Readymix Tshwane hire out pumps?
We do, and they come from external companies that we use on the daily.
We offer 24m, 32m, 36m, and 42m BOOM pumps, as well as STATIC pumps for hire.
How does our payment system work?
We work on a FULL-PAYMENT-BEFORE-DELIVERY basis. The payment must reflect 24 hours prior to delivery.
What is test cubes?
Test cubes is a set of 6 cubes that we make on request. The cubes are tested on 7 and 28 days to guarantee that the strength reaches the specified MPA.
