About

Family-owned ready-mix for Greater Portland Metro

Volume Concrete LLC is a family-owned ready-mix and concrete pumping company. We exist to put the right packet on the right truck and get it to the jobsite.

Volume Concrete started pumping concrete in 2001 and expanded operations in 2018 to include ready-mix concrete.

The work today is conventional tailgate and boom mixes, line-pump and pea-gravel blends, masonry grout, cellular fill, and 2-inch shotcrete with Stasis. Cellular grout is the published packet on Mix designs. Optional more on cellularbackfill.com.

Cement is Type IL from Ash Grove in Durkee, Oregon. Stone is Estacada. Admixtures are Euclid — WR91, Stasis, Fiberstrand 150 — and cellular grout is foamed with Aerix. The packets cite ASTM and ACI; this site does not invent mixes that are not on those sheets.

New concrete jumbo bin blocks, 2′ × 2′ × 6′, interlocking V-shape on four sides. About 3,400 lb each (± a few hundred). Pickup only — we do not deliver bin blocks. Call Dispatch to arrange pickup.

Fleet

Barrel mud vs made-on-site volumetric

Fleet is 7 barrel trucks, 5 volumetric mixers, and 8 concrete line pumps. Volume Concrete are the leaders in long-distance line pumping.

Barrel ready-mix is mud mixed at the plant / in the drum and delivered as ready-mix. The orange volumetric mixers carry materials separately and mix on the jobsite. Same capacity talk as a barrel — Call Dispatch for the load. No waste at the end: cut off / shut off the mixer when you have enough. You are not stuck with leftover mud from an over-ordered barrel load.
