The most important material used today in construction
industry is cement. With its origins from third millennium B.C. cement has
incredible tensile strength that makes it a perfect material used in modern
construction. It is basically a binding agent which has properties to bind
other things with it and sets naturally too. Its application is not limited to
just buildings; it’s used in many other areas too like road construction.
Buying cement in bulk has its benefit as it can be given to
supplier for a precise mix according to needs via bulk cement tanker. This has its disadvantage too as
one must be careful about its storage, keeping it out from moisture. Special
types of vehicles are used for transport of cement to a site as it requires
continues processing while being transported.
Concrete transport truck is a special type of truck that
mixes up the cement until it reaches on site. It is loaded up with dry material
and water and then the drum rotates it until delivery maintaining the liquid
state of the cement. These giant trucks are equipped with two axles and up and
are usually very heavy so there operation is limited on weight restricted
roads. Also, these trucks typically don’t travel far from their plant as cement
begins to set as soon as it is in the truck.
These trucks have enabled massive load of cement delivered and thus
reducing the time in modern construction.
