How much concrete will I need?
TG Concrete is supplied in cubic metres, from 1 cubic metre upwards in 0.5 cubic metre quantities. Once you have your measurements use our Concrete Calculator to work out how much you need. Try not to mix up metric and imperial, but if you have, our calculator can still work it out for you.
How heavy is concrete?
One cubic metre of TG Concrete will weigh approximately 2.4 tonnes, depending on the source of materials.
What mix should I use?
The mix you should order is dependent upon the application you intend using the concrete for. Different mixes are suitable for different applications. Please click on our Mixes page for details on typical applications.

What preparations do I need to make?
Please check that a safe and adequate access has been provided – see Truckmixer Dimensions. We may request you sign an indemnity if access from the roadway is considered unsuitable.
Make sure all those coming into contact with the product use appropriate safety equipment and protective footwear and clothing. Concrete is an alkaline and abrasive product and can cause burns and skin disease, see Health & Safety data sheets.
How long before the concrete goes hard?
Once Water is added to the mix at the plant, the chemical reaction commences and concrete starts to set between 1-2 hours from then. Setting times are dependent upon local weather conditions and the type of concrete ordered.
The concrete will require protective curing to prevent problems such as cracking, typically using a spray-on membrane or covering with plastic sheeting as soon as possible after placing.

Why has my concrete cracked?
The initial response to cracking is that there must have been something wrong with the concrete when it was delivered. Not so, most surface cracks in concrete slabs are usually as a result of aftercare. To learn more about why you may get cracks in your concrete, then please click here
