Hilltop Companies provides commercial concrete solutions tailored to your project’s requirements. We work with contractors, engineers and architects to evaluate concrete needs, develop mix designs and test materials for strength, durability, placement and finish.
This research and development also includes extensive testing of all of our materials, including ASTM-C33 – two times per year, testing of our own mined aggregates and other comparable admix studies.
From early planning through mix approval and ordering, our team combines research, technical experience and quality testing to help balance performance and cost. Explore our ready mix process below to learn how we support your commercial construction project.
Hilltop is often included in the upfront planning stage to help the contractor to identify options that will best deliver the project’s requirement.
During the first phase of your project, we will review and discuss your project’s engineering and concrete requirements for specific use. This upfront planning stage allows us to review our vast databases of options to identify the best fit for your project. We conduct research on new approaches and technologies and develop tests to determine if the option is viable, including the three, seven and twenty-eight day design curves that meet ACI standards.
This rigorous research and testing often leads us to specialized options that provide our customers with the best solution and experience possible.
Once we have aligned on your project’s requirements, our Quality team will meet with the project engineers and architects to develop the structural and mix plan for your project. As we work to develop our final recommendation for your project, we will work through propriety mix designs to ensure that your project’s needs are fulfilled. We will provide you with our recommendation and bid for the project.
Our team then uses our extensive database of resources to design the mix to meet the requirements of strength, long-term durability, placement and finish ability. We balance this with the value requirements needed for your project.
The team then tests and analyzes all the materials that will go into your mix design, and after review and approval by our structural engineer, changes up the mix to meet your requirements prior to the end product being delivered. We’ll set the project in motion and you can order the mixes as needed with the specialized codes we provide to you and your team.
