Ready Mix Concrete (RMC): The Ultimate Guide to Quality, Strength, and Essential Ingredients
Author: Total Import Solution Category: Construction Materials & Engineering Last Updated: January 2026
1. Introduction: The Revolution in Bangladeshi Construction
In the rapidly evolving skyline of Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet, the era of manual concrete mixing is fading. To build safer, taller, and more durable structures, the construction industry has shifted to Ready Mix Concrete (RMC).
But here is the secret that most developers won’t tell you: RMC is only as good as the stones used in it.
You can have the best cement and the best water-cement ratio, but if your aggregates (stones) are weak, your concrete will fail. Whether you are a project owner, a contractor, or a civil engineer, understanding the ingredients of RMC is crucial for the safety of your building.
This comprehensive guide serves as your handbook to Ready Mix Concrete and introduces you to Total Import Solution—your #1 partner for sourcing the high-strength aggregates that make RMC truly “Ready” for any challenge.
2. What is Ready Mix Concrete (RMC)?
Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) is a specialized material that is manufactured in a batching plant according to a set engineered mix design. It is then delivered to the construction site in a transit mixer (truck) in a plastic, unhardened state.
Why is RMC Better than Hand Mixing?
-
Precision: Automated batching ensures the exact ratio of sand, cement, stone, and water.
-
Speed: A single RMC truck can pour huge volumes in minutes, speeding up slab casting.
-
Consistency: Unlike manual mixing, where every batch is different, RMC guarantees uniform strength (e.g., 3500 PSI, 4000 PSI, 5000 PSI) throughout the structure.
3. The Heart of RMC: Choosing the Right Aggregate
Aggregates constitute about 60% to 75% of the concrete’s volume. Therefore, the strength of the stone is the strength of the concrete.
At Total Import Solution, we specialize in importing the world’s strongest aggregates directly to your destination. Here is a breakdown of the best stones for RMC:
A. Premium Limestone (The Industrial Giant)
High-quality limestone is the backbone of major infrastructure projects.
-
Our Sources: We import premium limestone directly from Vietnam, Egypt, UAE (Dubai), Malaysia, and China.
-
Why Use It: Imported limestone typically has higher calcium content and better bonding properties than local varieties, making it excellent for industrial flooring and chemical-resistant concrete.
B. Pakur Stone (Indian LC Stone)
Known as the “Black Diamond” of regional construction.
-
Origin: Pakur District, Jharkhand, India.
-
Characteristics: Dark black, extremely hard, and high abrasion resistance.
-
Best For: Heavy-load columns, railway ballasts, and highways. If you want your RMC to withstand heavy abuse, Pakur stone is the regional champion.
C. Dubai Gabbro (The Super-Strength Option)
For high-rises (10+ stories) and deep piling, standard stones often aren’t enough.
-
Origin: UAE (Fujairah).
-
PSI: 40,000 – 50,000+ PSI.
-
Benefit: Zero water absorption and immense load-bearing capacity.
D. Local & River Stones
For residential projects (1-6 stories), we supply the finest local options:
-
Sylhet Crushed Stone: Sourced from the riverbeds of Jaflong and Bholaganj. Smooth, rounded, and clean.
-
Bhutuvanga Stone: A cost-effective solution for non-structural works.
-
Torsa Stone Chips: Excellent river-washed chips from the northern borders.
-
Boulder Crushed: Available in 3/4″, 5/8″, and 1/2″ sizes for precise RMC mix designs.
