Quality Mix supplies reinforced concrete in Liverpool for a wide range of construction projects. Different jobs call for different concrete mix designs, and we can provide exactly what your project needs.
For kerbing and oversite work, we recommend a Gen 1 mix. For steel-reinforced bases and formwork, a C30/35 mix is usually the right choice. Our volumetric mixers deliver the correct design mix to site, as specified by the customer or engineer.
Reinforced concrete uses steel mesh to add strength to the finished structure. We can also add fibres to the mix where extra reinforcement is required.
We work closely with civil engineering and construction companies across the region. Contact us today to discuss your project and get a quote.
Construction & Reinforced Concrete FAQs
What is the difference between standard and reinforced concrete?
Standard concrete is strong in compression but can crack under tension. Reinforced concrete has steel mesh or rebar added to the mix, which handles tensile forces and prevents cracking. It’s used for beams, slabs, columns, and any load-bearing structure.
What concrete mix should I use for a reinforced slab?
For steel-reinforced bases and formwork, a C30/35 mix is typically specified. For kerbing and oversite work, a Gen 1 mix is usually sufficient. Quality Mix delivers the exact design mix to your specification.
Can you add fibres to concrete instead of steel mesh?
Yes — polypropylene or steel fibres can be added to the mix as an alternative or supplement to steel mesh. This is useful in areas where mesh is difficult to place. Quality Mix can add fibres at the point of delivery.
Do you supply reinforced concrete for commercial projects in Liverpool?
Yes. We work with civil engineering and construction companies across Liverpool, Cheshire, and Merseyside on both domestic and commercial projects. Contact us for a quote.
