Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you deliver concrete to?
We deliver from our plant in Rosa, Manitoba to communities across Southeast Manitoba, including Steinbach, St. Malo, Niverville, St. Pierre, Grunthal, and surrounding areas.
Can I order small amounts of concrete, or do you only work with large projects?
We value every customer and project. Whether you’re pouring a small shed pad or supplying a commercial build or barn, we’ll provide the same prompt, professional service and high-quality product.
What types of concrete do you supply?
The most common mixes we supply are 25 MPa, 30 MPa, and 32 MPa concrete in both air-entrained and non-air-entrained options. Fiber mesh reinforcement can be added to increase crack resistance. If you’re unsure which mix is right for your project, our team can recommend the best option for your application.
What’s the difference between air-entrained concrete and regular concrete?
Air-entrained concrete contains tiny, evenly distributed air bubbles that make it more resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, which is especially important in Manitoba’s climate. This type of concrete is often recommended for exterior slabs, driveways, sidewalks, and any surface exposed to moisture and cold weather. Non-air-entrained concrete does not have these air bubbles and is typically used indoors or in applications where freeze-thaw resistance isn’t needed.
How do you ensure quality and consistency?
Our fully computerized, PLC-controlled plant batches concrete with precision. We conduct quality control including slump, air, and compressive strength tests, while our aggregates come from our sister company, MDM Sand & Gravel, which comply to CSA standards. This gives you confidence that every load meets industry expectations.
What slump should I choose for my project?
Slump refers to the workability or flow of concrete. A lower slump (stiffer mix) is stronger and more durable but harder to place, making it good for structural applications like footings or walls. A medium slump is often chosen for general flatwork like driveways and floors. A higher slump provides easier placement and finishing, especially where forms are tight or reinforcement is heavy, but too much slump can reduce strength. Our team can guide you in selecting the right slump based on your project’s needs.
