Six Plants
Operational across Gauteng, providing quality service to customers in Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, Johannesburg, East and South Rand, West and North Rand, and surrounding areas.
Fleet
Quantum operates a modern fleet of trucks, plant and equipment, and can produce in excess of around 850m³ per day per plant.
Established
Quantum Readymix is a well-established ready mix concrete supplier spear headed by a team who collectively has over 50 years’ experience.
Placing an Order
Decide on the placement method and allow for planning of suitable delivery, discharging and finishing methods.
The Truck Conveyor Belt (TCB) is the most efficient method of casting suspended concrete floor slabs, rafts and retaining walls requiring up to 30m3 of concrete at 60% of the cost of a concrete pump. The TCB has unique features that will revolutionize the placing concrete.
Please view below to see the TCB in action, take note of its versatility and see how it can be of benefit to the type of construction you undertake.
SETUP TIME
The concrete and conveyor arrive simultaneously allowing for the fastest setup and placing method compared to pumps or the like. There is never a situation where there is concrete and no pump or vice versa.
The site establishment and placing charges of the TCB is approximately half of the pump.
BENEFITS
You don’t need a bag of cement and plaster sand as the conveyor does not have to be primed.
You can expect to do all types of construction and others, stress free, with no frustrations.
One can even use the TCB to place back fill where it is not accessible to trucks.
LABOUR
Concrete is delivered at the right tempo saving labour considerably, typically two people can easily place the concrete up to 30m³.
DISPOSAL
No concrete in a pump pipeline which must be disposed of and paid for (up to a cubic metre at an excess of R1000/m³), never mind disposing of hard concrete thereafter.
Concrete Pumps
The use of a concrete pump is a cost-effective solution to transfer concrete from the mixer truck to the position of placement, which is normally in hard to reach places and need to be done in the shortest possible time. We work closely with the pump supplier and are in control of the deployment of the pumps, as well as the scheduling and dispatching of concrete delivery, customers are assured of an efficient service.
Site Inspections
Quantum offers a site inspection service to customers for advice on access and suitability for concrete delivery and pumping. Our experienced staff is always available for advice on various aspects related to concrete, as well as the handling thereof.
Cube Testing
Whilst Quantum Readymix runs a quality assurance system and takes cubes on a regular basis for our own purposes, unfortunately we cannot be held responsible for any site’s quality assurance programme.
CUBE TESTS
All cubes are tested as far as practical in accordance with the requirements of SABS method 863 compressive strength of hardened concrete and are 100mm unless stated otherwise.
Testing Practice
Testing is done by Independent Laboratory that has been contracted by us to do daily tests on our concrete, and advise accordingly regarding our quality assurance programme. The laboratories are SANAS accredited conforming to the SABS 0259 code of practice for “The general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”.
12m Trucks
Quantum Readymix has pioneered the delivery of concrete to site by introducing 12m truck into the fleet. Quantum are the first in Africa.
This will increase the quantity delivered to site allowing customers to finish quicker
Placing An Order
Decide on the placement method and allow for planning of suitable delivery, discharging and finishing methods.
Consider mixer truck access and the duration of discharge per load and total time required for the entire order, which will prevent any standing time charges or inferior concrete.
Please ensure you read our terms and conditions:
Strength of concrete
Ensure the strength and slump of the concrete required is known.
This will normally be specified by an engineer and/or contractor.
Quantity required
Ensure that the quantity (volume in m³) of concrete required is carefully measured and calculated
(m³ = length x width x thickness). It is advisable to rather measure actual work on site and not to rely on the dimensions indicated on construction drawings.
