Ready-mixed concrete, also know as skipped concrete or site-mixed concrete, is one of the most versatile and widely used installation methods in construction. As engineering demands evolve and construction schedules become increasingly time-sensitive, concrete producers must balance performance, cost efficiency and practicality. Sika’s concrete admixture technologies support this by enabling improved mix designs, reduced water content, enhanced early strength and reliable performance across a wide range of applications.
