Load Assurance

Digital slump monitoring with Load Assurance

We have taken another step on our digital journey by introducing Load Assurance to the UK ready-mixed concrete market.

Load Assurance uses a probe to provide near real-time data on the properties of the concrete in the mixer truck drum to improve quality and efficiency on site. It enables direct measurement of slump, mix uniformity, water cement ratio, volume, water added, temperature and drum speed throughout the delivery cycle.

How Load Assurance Works

Real-time monitoring

The probe housed in our trucks’ drum ensures continuous contact with the material and provides real-time concrete characteristics.

Data analysis

Data from the probe is relayed back to the mix plant operator, allowing for future load adjustments

Information Display

The exterior-mounted display board on our trucks provides a real-time readout of speed, temperature, volume, water added and slump.

Optimise your ordering process

Streamlines the concrete ordering process by enhancing accuracy, which reduces the need for guesswork and overordering and also saves customers money by eliminating charges for returned concrete.

Time and cost savings

Reduces the need for extensive testing, boosts overall productivity and efficiency.

Streamlining quality assurance

Ensures the concrete meets quality standards with verification, addresses water misuse, and slump disputes, improving the overall efficiency and dependability of quality control.

Full process and traceability throughout the design, production, and delivery cycle, ensures product always delivered to target specification.

Improved pour rate with more efficient quality monitoring and removal of related bottlenecks.

Elimination of subjective assessments - superior representative measurements as entire volume of load considered rather than sampling.

Proactive service adjustments during pour cycle.

Waste management reduction, lower emissions and improved onsite safety.
