Standard concrete should be placed within about 90 minutes of batching. Retarders and mix adjustments can extend that for longer hauls. We plan this case by case.
Concrete and aggregate for projects beyond the end of the road. We have supplied remote hydro, industrial and coastal work across Vancouver Island's west coast.

Built for Hard-to-Reach Projects.
Remote work needs more than material. It needs a supply plan that accounts for distance, access and weather. We have supplied projects such as Jimmie Creek Hydro and Hot Springs Cove Hydro, where access is by forest service road or water.
How We Supply Remote Sites
We work with your team early to plan quantities, timing and delivery method. Mix designs can be adjusted for long haul times with retarders or other admixtures.
Long-haul ready mix: Mixes designed to stay workable over extended travel times.
Aggregate supply: Bulk sand, gravel and base delivered to site.
Barge coordination: Material staged for water access.
On-site batching: Portable batching for large remote pours.
