The team at Triangle Ready Mix has extensive experience making and delivering a wide variety of concrete mixes. From common mixes, to concrete mix designs tailored to meet your project needs, Triangle Ready Mix delivers it with unsurpassed customer service. These are some of the types of concrete that we offer:
Crack Fighter™
Fight cracks before they start!
Triangle Ready Mix proudly introduces Crack Fighter™, our proprietary concrete mix engineered to minimize the risk of cracking. This advanced formula incorporates high-performance additives that help control temperature fluctuations and reduce shrinkage — the leading causes of cracks in concrete.
Specially designed with the residential market in mind, Crack Fighter™ controls bleed water while reducing overall water content, resulting in stronger, more durable concrete. The result? Fewer cracks, smoother finishes, and a finished product built to last.
Whether it’s driveways, patios, or home foundations, contractors can trust Crack Fighter™ to deliver superior crack resistance and unmatched durability. Contact Triangle Ready Mix today to put Crack Fighter™ to work on your next project.
Standard Ready Mixed Concrete
Standard ready-mixed concrete, with strengths up to 5,000 psi, is ideal for most general applications and has been our top-selling product. As one of the Raleigh area’s fastest-growing ready mixed concrete producers, we are committed to delivering high-quality concrete that meets your project’s specific needs. Our standard ready-mixed concrete ensures durability and reliability, making it the perfect choice for a wide range of construction projects.
Mass Concrete
Our mass concrete mix design is engineered specifically for large volumes of concrete, such as in the construction of large foundations and other substantial structures. The main considerations for mass concrete mix design are to ensure the concrete can withstand the significant heat generated during the curing process and to maintain its structural integrity over time. As a leading ready-mixed concrete producer, we specialize in the production of high-quality mass concrete designed to meet the demands of large-scale projects.
High Early Strength Concrete
High Early Strength Concrete (HESC) is a type of concrete mix specifically designed to achieve significant strength within a short period after being placed. This rapid strength gain allows for faster project turnaround times and is particularly useful in situations where time is a critical factor. High Early Strength Concrete is an invaluable solution for projects demanding quick strength development, ensuring both efficiency and structural integrity.
Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) incorporates fibrous materials to increase its structural integrity. These fibers, which can be made from various materials, are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented within the concrete mix. The fibers help to improve the concrete’s performance in terms of strength, durability, and crack resistance.
Reduced Shrinkage / Shrinkage Compensating Concrete
Concrete shrinkage can lead to cracking, which subsequently causes durability issues. To address this problem, two distinct technologies are available. Shrinkage reducing admixtures target the “cause” of drying shrinkage within the capillaries and pores of the cement paste. On the other hand, shrinkage compensating materials generate an expansive reaction within the cement paste to counteract the “effects” of drying shrinkage. Both methods are effective, providing engineers and contractors with flexible options to enhance the long-term performance and integrity of concrete structures.
Pervious Concrete
Pervious concrete is a specialized type of concrete designed with a high porosity that allows water to pass through it easily. This unique characteristic makes pervious concrete an effective solution for managing stormwater runoff, reducing flooding, and recharging groundwater. Pervious concrete is increasingly used in sustainable construction practices and green building initiatives due to its environmental benefits and effective stormwater management capabilities.
Flowable Backfill
Flowable backfill refers to a specialized material used in construction and utility projects for filling excavated trenches, cavities, or other spaces around underground utilities or structures. This material uses significant quantities of sand, water, and fly ash that flow easily into position, solidify, and transform into a robust load-bearing material without requiring compaction. Flowable backfill is designed to flow easily into place, providing support and stability while conforming closely to the contours of the surrounding area.
Decorative Concrete
Decorative concrete mix design involves tailoring the composition of concrete to achieve specific aesthetic and performance requirements for decorative applications. Unlike standard concrete mixes used for structural purposes, decorative concrete mix designs focus on enhancing visual appeal while maintaining durability.
