Ready-mix concrete

Best possible color result due to know-how transfer from scholz

Ready-mix concrete is a popular and frequently used concrete procurement option on every construction site. This is due not only to the significant time savings, but also to the high material quality, good delivery reliability, and high flexibility with regard to the quantity that can be delivered compared to conventional concrete that has to be mixed on site.

Sensible planning and realization of an optimum ready-mix concrete formulation and its delivery tailored to the construction site requirements often determine the success or failure of a construction project. Especially in the case of colored ready-mix concrete, adequate planning between the pigment supplier and the ready-mix concrete plant is particularly significant. Likewise, the correct handling of the fresh concrete and its exposure to external influences between the time of delivery ex works and arrival at the construction site is at least as significant.

Your colored concrete project is in the best hands with us

When it comes to coloring ready-mix concrete, pigment type and pigment content are usually based on the defined composition of the ready-mix concrete. It is crucial that both the pigment supplier and the ready-mix concrete plant understand the needs of the customer. In addition, it is essential to also understand the challenges of the service provider involved, with whom the service is to be coordinated, in order to ultimately be able to ensure satisfactory quality of the colored fresh concrete and thus also of the hardened concrete. In this context, sufficient know-how about the concrete technology requirements, but also about pigment-specific laws, is indispensable for a satisfactory result.

Know-how makes the difference

scholz has decisive know-how in concrete and pigment technology and is therefore in a position to take into account the individual needs of the purchaser of colored ready-mix concrete in the interface as pigment supplier between the ready-mix concrete plant and the building owner.

We thus transport not only a customized pigment solution for your colored concrete to your construction site, but also our comprehensive know-how for your field of application, so that our pigments can develop their full potential in your individual case and you receive comprehensive and goal-oriented advice if you have any questions.

Liquid colors and scholz metering technology

In addition to our expertise in relevant specialist areas, we offer our customers various forms of delivery, in particular durable liquid colors and liquid metering systems matched to them, so that the pigments used are also reliably present in the fresh concrete in an ideally prepared and digested state at the planned time of arrival at the construction site. The homogeneously colored fresh concrete mass thus obtained can be used just-in-time.

This is the only way to ensure an attractive, colored concrete result. The positive customer feedback we receive again and again confirms that our approach, along with good communication with our customers, is the cornerstone of our success.

We are looking forward to joint future projects with new challenges in order to expand our reference spectrum of successfully completed projects in the field of colored ready-mix concrete.
