Ready-Mix Pool Mix
Concrete
Pool Mix is specifically designed for the construction of swimming pools, ponds and dams. Less water is used and the resultant low workability of the concrete makes it possible to pack the concrete to vertical surfaces without running or falling down.
Workability : 70 - 90mm Slump Our Pool Mix concrete mixes are proportioned 70/30 ( 70% Cement and 30% Cement Extender) and 13mm dolomite stone is used as the coarse aggregate. Poolmix concrete is designed to be very dense and impermeable to moisture or water. The combination of the constituents is designed so that the concrete is dryer and stickier than conventional concrete so that it can be vertically stacked or applied without the normal run-off that would occur with other type mixes. Our Pool mix concrete can also be used in constructing dams, high slope structures or any vertical application of concrete.

Product Info:
Our Pool Mix concrete product range is designed and manufactured in accordance with SANS 878 specifications, the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) and National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC)to perform optimally for the construction of Pools, dams and water retaining structures.
Our Mix Compositions are proportioned 70/30 ( 70% Cement and 30% Extender) and we use CEM2 42.5R Portland early strength cement. 13mm stone as the coarse aggregate, together with superior quality fine aggregates is used in our Mix designs and regularly undergoes several quality tests to ensure superior fresh concrete properties while achieving specified strengths and longterm durability.

Concrete is discharged straight from the vehicle's chute to the placement area. Where the 4.5m chute extension can't reach the placement area, wheelbarrows, skip, crane lift or conveyor belts can be used.
To order concrete you will need the following information:
1. Strength required
2. Volume(m³) Required
3. Delivery Address
We will send a quote based on the supplied details. If you are not sure about the volumes required, contact your engineer or architect for this information. You can also view the Volume calculator page. Please remember that it is always wise to measure on-site as well and not just calculating based on plan drawings. Excavations, trench depths, and surface-level can influence the actual volumes required.
Discharge Method:
Our Poolmix Concrete range is designed to have a slump (Flowability) between 70 - 90mm Slump, depending on the client's specifications.. We can lower the slump according to your needs and deliver a less workable dryer mix if the application requires it.
Concrete is discharged straight from the chute of the vehicle, 2 Extension chutes can be added to acheive a total length and reach of 4.5m to the placement area. It is critical that a vehicle is at least 1.5m away from the edges of the trenches or excavated pool area to prevent walls of the trench or pool to cave in.
An hour is allowed for the full discharge of our pool mix where after standing times will be charged.
