Services
Ready Mix Concrete
We provide ready mixed concrete in strengths ranging from 1000psi to 6000psi for residential and commercial applications. Our MassDOT-approved mixes meet strict specifications for infrastructure projects while standard mixes serve patios, driveways, and foundations. With 15+ front-discharge mixers and experienced drivers, we ensure timely delivery across Southeastern Massachusetts.
Flowable Fill
Our excavatable and non-excavatable flowable fill solutions offer efficient backfilling for utility trenches and foundation work. This self-leveling material provides structural support while reducing labor costs. We also supply Fast Pack formulations specifically designed for rapid-setting backfill applications in commercial construction projects.
High-Performance Mixes
We produce high-performance concrete mixes for demanding infrastructure projects including bridges, highways, and marine terminals. These formulations include corrosion inhibitors and waterproofing additives to withstand extreme conditions. Our Brayton Point Cooling Towers project required 100,000+ cubic yards of specialized high-strength concrete for critical structural components.
Admixtures
We offer a complete line of chemical admixtures to modify concrete properties for specific applications. Our options include set accelerators for cold weather pours, retarders for extended workability, and air-entraining agents for freeze-thaw resistance. Technical staff assists with dosage calculations to optimize performance for each project.
Lightweight Concrete
Our lightweight concrete solutions reduce structural loads while maintaining strength requirements. This material combines reduced weight with thermal insulation properties, making it ideal for roof decks, bridge approaches, and other applications where weight limitations exist. We provide technical support for proper placement and finishing.
Questions
How much concrete will my job require?
Use our online calculators to estimate cubic yards needed based on dimensions, or contact our dispatch team for personalized calculations.
What's the difference between cement and concrete?
Cement is a binding component of concrete, which combines cement, water, and aggregates like sand and gravel to form a durable material.
How can I prevent concrete cracks in freezing weather?
We recommend air-entrained concrete and proper control joint spacing based on slab thickness for freeze-thaw resistance.
Do you provide concrete forming services?
We supply concrete only. We can recommend qualified contractors to handle forming and finishing upon request.
