CONMIX Ready Mix Concrete Division has entered the “Guinness World Records” for supplying high quality durable concrete for a 20,246 cubic meter Continuous Concrete Raft Pour at the upcoming Safari Mall in Muweilah area of Sharjah, UAE.
A total of 140 Truck Mixers and 12 Mobile Pumps were used to achieve the Milestone concrete pour without any delays and continuous flow of concrete at the site.
“Everything went about as picture perfectly as expected”, said a representative of Guinness World Records on the scene. “It was kind of like a ballet of trucks, moving in and out all night, to get this record done”, he added.
We at CONMIX are proud to add that MegaFlow range of Admixtures from the CONMIX Construction Chemicals Division was used for the milestone concreting.
The most important aspect in such mass concrete works is to make sure that there are no cold joints between the various layers of the pour, and this was achieved by using the specially formulated MegaFlow SP402 – High Range Water Reducing and Retarding Super Plasticizer from the CONMIX Admixtures Range. Almost 220 Tones (180 K Liter) of Admixture was used for the pour.
The US$ 68m project is being built by Oscar Construction Company Limited for their Client Safari Trading Company. Mazaya Consulting Engineers are the Consultants for the project.
The pouring beats the previous records of 19,793 cubic meter concrete pour held by a UAE based Construction Company.
