Volumetric Concrete

Tailored admixtures, fibres, and ancillary products for on-site concrete production

Volumetric concrete offers a flexible, on-demand solution for construction teams requiring real-time control over mix proportions, consistency, and placement. Unlike traditional ready-mix delivery, volumetric trucks batch and mix concrete at the point of use — reducing waste, improving quality assurance, and allowing for tailored formulations to suit specific project needs.

Oscrete is an admixture manufacturer with a dedicated range for volumetric concrete. Our products are engineered to perform under the unique conditions of mobile batching, supporting producers with reliable mix control, enhanced durability, and full-service technical support.

Why Volumetric Concrete Producers Choose Oscrete

Volumetric operations demand admixtures that respond quickly, perform consistently, and integrate seamlessly into mobile mixing systems. Oscrete’s volumetric-ready solutions are designed to deliver:

• Superior workability and flow – Supporting efficient placement and reduced manual effort
• Reduced water demand – Enhancing strength and sustainability
• Improved mix stability – Minimising segregation and bleed
• On-site adaptability – Enabling adjustments for weather, substrate, or application type
• Reduced waste and environmental impact – Supporting leaner, more efficient production

These products are formulated for volumetric mixing conditions, ensuring consistent performance across varying loads, temperatures, and site demands.

Ancillary Products for Fleet & Mix Quality

To support volumetric producers beyond the mix, Oscrete offers a range of complementary products:

• Osrel Truck Wash – Effectively removes concrete residue and traffic grime, keeping mixers clean and operational
• Equipment protectors – Extend machinery life by preventing build-up and corrosion
• Specialist fibres – Reinforce concrete performance and reduce shrinkage

These additions help streamline operations, protect assets, and deliver reinforced concrete with confidence.

Technical Support & Real-World Collaboration

Oscrete provides full mix design support for volumetric producers, including:

• Admixture selection for foamed, waterproofed, and reinforced concrete
• Batch book development and materials optimisation
• On-site trials and troubleshooting for mix consistency and curing performance

We work closely with volumetric fleets across the UK to ensure every pour meets specification — from small domestic jobs to large infrastructure pours

Case Study: Hopkins Estates

Hopkins Estates, a leading construction business in Somerset and Dorset, operates four volumetric trucks and partnered with Oscrete in 2023 to enhance its concrete division. Following a visit to our Bradford HQ, the Hopkins team developed a custom materials package and batch book tailored to their fleet. Oscrete continues to support their expansion with admixture guidance, curing optimisation, and technical collaboration.
