MATERIAL SPECS

Precast Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates and mineral colors and is reinforced with steel

DESIGN MIX

We use 2 parts gravel, 2 parts concrete sand, and 1 part cement for most mixes. The water content is limited to make the mix stiff. The workability of the concrete is dependant on vibration

CEMENT

Portland Cement Type I/II gray and/or white comforming to ASTM C-150.

COURSE AGGREGATE

Carefully graded and washed gravel or stone conforming to ASTM C-33. Usual mix gravel does not exceed 3/8 inch. Gradation may vary to achieve desired finish and texture.

FINE AGGREGATE

Carefully graded and washed natural concrete sand conforming to ASTM C-33. Gradation may vary to achieve desired finish and texture.

ADMIXTURES

ASTM C-494

COLOR

Solomon synthetic iron oxide pigments, lime proof, and non-fading, conforming to ASTM C-979. Amount of pigment shall not exceed 10% by weight of the cement used.
