Manufacture of ready-mixed concrete
NACE v2.0 Code: C23.63
About manufacture of ready-mixed concrete
NACE code 23.63 covers the manufacture of ready-mixed concrete, a critical component in the construction industry. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, providing the essential building material for infrastructure projects, residential and commercial developments, and a wide range of other construction activities. The ready-mixed concrete industry is a key driver of economic growth, supporting employment and contributing to the development of communities across the country.
Production process
The production of ready-mixed concrete involves the careful blending of cement, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), water, and sometimes admixtures. These ingredients are mixed in specialized concrete batching plants, which ensure a consistent and homogeneous mixture. The resulting concrete is then transported to the construction site using concrete mixer trucks, where it is poured and allowed to harden, forming the desired structural elements.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the manufacture of ready-mixed concrete include cement, aggregates (sand, gravel, and crushed stone), water, and various admixtures (such as plasticizers, accelerators, or retarders) that can be added to modify the concrete's properties. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, including concrete batching plants, mixer trucks, and pumps, to facilitate the production and delivery of the concrete.
Production outputs
The primary output of the ready-mixed concrete industry is, of course, the concrete itself, which is then used in a wide range of construction projects. The concrete produced by this industry is consumed by various other NACE codes, including 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, and 42.21 Construction of utility projects for fluids, among others.
