Ontario Redimix produces ready-mixed concrete to the construction industry from one of its plants.

Ready-mixed concrete refers to concrete that is produced at a concrete batch plant and delivered in its plastic state to a construction job site by rotating drum concrete trucks. Each batch of ready-mixed concrete is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the contractor and construction project.

Please contact your sales representative for more information.

To increase the aesthetic appeal of your project, Ontario Redimix is pleased to provide colour concrete to give your project a unique look.  A variety of standard and custom colours are available for integration into your concrete mix.

The pure, high strength pigments Ontario Redimix provides in their colour concrete comes from leading producers in colouring products with the most advanced facilities in North America. Every attempt is made to ensure that the colour you choose matches as closely as possible to the sample, however, due to the varying natural pigmentations in the aggregates we strongly recommend you obtain a colour palette from our site or your sales representative and conduct a colour test pour prior to the final concrete pour.

Installation Notes:
The colour of cement, aggregates, slump, finishing techniques and curing methods are all critical in achieving a uniform colour. A fully cured concrete test slab with the desired colour at the job site is recommended for  customer approval. The coloured concrete should be batched, placed, cured and finished in accordance to the CSA current standards. Allowing concrete to air dry for at least 30 days after curing and before the exposure to cycles of freezing and thawing is very important.

Due to the various factors that can effect the outcome of concrete colour, Ontario Redimix does not guarantee the exact colour as per our colour palette, nor is it possible for us to match the colour of an existing concrete structure.

Contact your sales representative for more information on coloured concrete.

Ontario Redimix Foamcrete, an innovative concrete solution from Ontario Redimix Foamcrete, is a versatile building solution that provides many benefits from thermal and acoustical insulation, easy consolidation and light-weight properties.

Ontario Redimix Foamcrete is an ideal filling and grouting material for tunneling and rehabilitation of waste mines and infrastructure. With a reduced density of up to 1/4 of water’s unit weight, it can easily float on water surfaces.

Due to excellent flowability and filling capacity, easy consolidation, good insulation, lightweight properties, fire-proofing and sound attenuation, Ontario Redimix Foamcrete is an effective solution for various applications, especially those with unique and challenging requirements. It allows for density ranging from 300 to 1700 kg/m3 with strength development at 28 days from 0.4 to 25 MPa. The concrete can be used in the insulation of pipelines, roofs and energy saving structures as well as for soil stabilization of road and building foundations. It can effectively help with dead load reduction of building structures and provide alternative solutions for fireproofing and sound attenuation applications.

Ontario Redimix has developed a specialized procedure to optimize performance and consistency, ensuring quality control along with technical expertise from concrete production to the completion of installation on-site. The solution is excellent for complex project challenges.

Structural Shotcrete is an efficient method of placing high quality durable concrete in a wide variety of shapes and forms, or when using the standard “Cast-in-place” concrete forming method is a challenge.

Shotcrete is a great solution that provides contractors an alternative to formwork, greatly reducing the need for forms. It is ideal for tight or restricted wall access including overhead and underground job sites as well as irregular forms and shapes. Shotcrete can be placed simultaneously with other structures helping projects remain on schedule. It also provides a variety of finishes to meet any architect’s vision.

With cast-in-place concrete, the quality of the Shotcrete placement depends on the quality of the materials, proper mixing and transport, substrate/subgrade preparation, placing process, and protection until the specified strength is reached. In order to achieve ideal results, proper equipment and protection is required. The crew must be prepared to properly finish, protect, and cure freshly placed Shotcrete. It requires constant communication between the ready-mix plant dispatch and contractor to maintain continuous concrete flow on the job and avoid excessive truck idling on site.

One of the most critical elements for Shotcrete application is the contractor’s knowledge about the several stages of the application process. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, several properly trained and qualified Shotcrete crew members are required to successfully complete the application. With proper application, Shotcrete provides an innovative solution to otherwise challenging applications.

Fibres are small reinforcing materials that provide added structural integrity and durability to concrete applications and aid against plastic shrinkage cracking (hairline surface cracks due to water evaporation during set).

Benefits of fibre-enforced concrete:

• Ease of placement and finishing – delivered in the concrete, no extra orders to place
• Accelerated concrete placement time – reduced project time
• Equivalent strength to steel – better control of plastic shrinkage, cracking and reduced segregation
• Cost effective replacement for welded wire mesh (WWM)
• No storage needed for fibres or other reinforcing materials
• Safety – no handling and tripping hazards (as with WWM)
• No surface or internal corrosion

Ontario Redimix uses recycled concrete to make concrete blocks in a variety of sizes. Our blocks are available across the GTA, but not all sizes are available at each of our plants. The blocks are not made to order, so please contact us to inquire about availability.

We are unable to deliver concrete blocks. Block pick-ups must be arranged at least 48 hours in advance.

Please contact your sales representative for more information.

Ontario Redimix has a limited availability of Jersey Barriers. The barriers are not certified to be used in public places or on construction sites. The barriers are made to use in yards for pedestrian/vehicle segregation to replace the use of blocks and pylons. The barriers are not certified by MTO. For more information, please contact your sales representative.
