Ready Mixed Concrete
A&L McCrae operate three state of the art ready mix batching plants, strategically placed in our hard rock quarry locations to cover the whole of Argyll.
We have invested in a modern fleet of company owned 8m3 and 12m3 truck mixers to ensure reliable and consistent supply of ready mixed concrete throughout Argyll and the West.
We are happy to accept orders for delivery from 1m3 upwards to meet particular contract needs and have the capability to supply all volumes required.
All plants can provide small size mixes into trade and private customers vehicles from 0.25m3 upwards.
FULLY BSI ACCREDITED CONCRETE
Our three ready mixed concrete plants are fully accredited, giving assurance that customer requirements and contract specifications will be fully met.
All of the concrete we produce is manufactured using our in-house washed virgin sands and aggregates from our own quarries ensuring a high degree of consistency is obtained.
With the introduction of our Aggsmart App, the customers know when the loads of concrete have left the plant and are estimated to be on site.
A&L McCrae have invested in our own UCAS acrredited concrete testing facility allowing us to have the highest quality assurance as well as offer a cube testing service to our customers.

Various types of fibre may be added to the concrete to improve its properties. The main fibres used are polypropylene and macro synthetic fibres to give added strength.
Fibre concrete is used extensively for industrial ground-supported floors. The fibres provide some degree of control over the formation of early thermal and shrinkage cracks. They give the hardened concrete some post-cracking residual strength.
A recent innovation has been the use of synthetic fibres to replace the nominal reinforcement in composite slabs on metal decking (Structural elements/Suspended floors/Steel concrete composite suspended floors).
A&L McCrae have extensive experience of the use of all fibre types in concrete, if you have any queries on the use of fibres please feel free to ask us and we will be able to help.
