    • HIGH EARLY STRENGTH CONCRETE (HESC)
    • Do Not wait for Bleed Water, Start Finishing Immediately!
    • Have Lots of People and Experienced Finishers
    • Have a lot of wheel barrows, emphasis placed!!!
    • This product begins wet, but very quickly loses slump.
    • Have an area for clean up with running water and scrub brushes for the tools.
    • Mixer Trucks will require an area for cleanup immediately following the pour, we cary water on-board.
    • Typical temperatures are 40°F – 85°F, colder temperatures require hot water and need protection from the elements. Hot temperature pours are avoided during peak temperatures, and require burlap and water to protect the product once poured.
    • When using for repairs, application surface must be clean, sound and free from any materials that may inhibit bond, such as oil, asphalt, curing compound, acid, dirt and loose debris. Mechanically abrade surface and remove all unsound material. Saturate the surface before the HESC hits the ground. Avoid standing water or puddles, this will affect the strength of the final product.

  • Volume Concrete doing a new Driveway

    A simple short video demonstrating the services provided by using Volume Concrete LLC., paired with a concrete line pump for efficient and cost effective material transportation.

    A driveway that size required over 100,000 lbs. of raw materials proportioned, mixed and delivered in a timely fashion.

    The grade of the driveway makes for multiple problems that left un-addressed could cause a timely delay, with the solution solved by using a concrete line pump provided by AAA Concrete Pumping LLC., (AAACP)

    Instead of using a wheel barrow and going uphill to deliver the 100,000 lbs. of concrete, a concrete line pump is utilized.   A good Placer running the end of the hose will ensure the grade of wet concrete is placed within a tolerance making the job easier for the Finisher.

    Another individual responsible for a smooth operation is the Operator.  The Operator runs the machinery, whether it be the mixer truck or the concrete line pump.  Both machines require highly experienced and dedicated Operators. A notable reason for using AAACP: An Operator and a Placer are provided for each job!
