Prince George Ready Mix Trusted Services

We crush and wash 100% of our own aggregates to CSA specification. We source our cement and admixtures from Tier One suppliers. We operate our own concrete testing lab at our plant. Our fleet of mixers is fully maintained and annually inspected. We train our employees on equipment operation and on concrete material science. All to ensure our production meets CSA requirements. All because quality matters.

Concrete Products

Standard Concrete Mix Designs

Our standard mix designs are available in varying specifications for strength (15 MPa, 20 MPa, 25 MPa, 30 MPa, 32 MPa, 35 MPa) and aggregate size, as well as exposure class and other properties.

High Specification Mix Designs

Our High Specification mix designs have the enhanced properties required for challenging applications. From very high strength concrete (up to 70 MPa), to large volume mass pours, corrosion protection, shotcrete and to many other specific material and performance properties, our mix designs can be tailored to meet your unique project needs.

Performance Mix Designs

Our Performance Mix designs have been developed to ideally suit specific applications:

  • Self Compacting Concrete: With very high flow characteristics, rapid placement, and no requirement for manual finishing to create a smooth and attractive finish, SCC is ideally suited for large horizontal slabs.
  • ICF Form Mix: This mix was created specifically for Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) wall construction and other formwork with dense rebar or tight passages. It is characterized by excellent flow properties and requires virtually no vibration to create a smooth and attractive finish that is free of voids.
  • Low Density Fill: An economical, low-density specialty mix for filling open excavations, this mix design has lower density, lower strength, and excellent flow and consolidation properties.
  • Green concrete: We can optimize our mix designs for increased ratings required for LEED building construction.
  • Premium Exposed: This premium specialty mix is designed for exposed aggregate finishing, offering an optimal finished appearance.

Admixtures

We stock a range of admixtures (chemical additives that change the properties of the concrete) that can be added depending on the needs of the project. Taking into account factors such as application, location, and climate, we can work with you to select the appropriate admixtures to get the best final result. Some of the admixtures we stock include:

  • Water reducer: Reducing the amount of water in a batch of concrete increases strength and durability, while maintaining the correct slump and workability.
  • Air Entrainer: To improve freeze/thaw durability, this admixture creates microscopic air bubbles in the concrete.
  • Retardant: This delays the setting of the concrete, which can improve workability during placement on hot days or after long transport distances.
  • Accelerator: By accelerating mid-stage hydration, High Early modified concrete significantly increases the early strength gain of the concrete, achieving 7-day strengths that are equal to standard 28-day strengths with no loss in final strength. This can create tremendous cost savings in fast-moving construction projects.
  • Superplasticizer: Often added at a job site to increase workability for placement, this admixture will increase the slump and workability of concrete in the plastic state without the addition of water, which means that the final strength and durability of the concrete will not be affected.
  • Integral hardener: Increasing the hardness of the entire concrete mass, hardener improves abrasion resistance as well as durability. This is particularly suited to high-traffic floors, decks, and slabs.
  • Colourant: Available in a wide variety of hues, colourants can be added to tint the concrete, enhancing architectural designs.
  • Integral waterproofer: This admixture acts to reduce the water permeability of the hardened concrete, even in air-entrained mixes.

Aggregates

We sell a large variety of aggregate products, including the following:

  • Washed masonry sand
  • Blend sand
  • Washed 20mm rock
  • Washed 10mm rock
  • Washed 10mm round rock (pea rock)
  • Roadway surface and base course aggregates

These products are available for pick-up or for delivery in larger volumes.

Other Services

Concrete Pumping

Concrete pumping is a cost-effective way to handle large placements for slabs, footings, and foundation structures. Our 32m and 38m concrete boom pump trucks are available for your pour. Call us today to review your project.

Pre-cast Concrete

We have a broad selection of precast concrete products in our inventory, including lock blocks, traffic barriers, and many more. Precast products are also available made-to-order. Call us today to discuss your needs.

Enviro-Grit Blasting Abrasive

Enviro-Grit media-blasting abrasive is 100% crystalline silica-free material made locally from recycled glass. Enviro-Grit is environmentally safe, economical, and provides superior cutting power for removing rust and most coatings.

Various Grits: Coarse, General Purpose, Fine and Extra Fine.

Testing Lab Services

Prince George Ready Mix has a complete concrete and aggregate testing lab at our plant in Prince George. The focus of this lab is on our own internal testing for process and Quality Control, but we are happy to help with your testing needs.
