Access comes first
Arabian Ranches is a gated community with its own rules for contractors: permits, delivery hours and which gate heavy vehicles use. These are set by the community management, not by us, so check with them and get the permit before you book. We need the permit reference and the gate name the day before.
Inside, the streets are residential and cars park on both sides. A loaded mixer is about 2.5 m wide and needs to stop in front of the plot for the length of the discharge. Ask the neighbours to keep the kerb clear on the morning of the pour.
Pools and extensions behind the house
Most work here is a pool shell, a rear extension or a garden slab, which means the concrete has to go over or around the villa. A truck-mounted pump parked on the street with a 43 m boom reaches comfortably over a two-storey villa into the back garden. The 57 m unit is rarely needed in the Ranches and is harder to set up on these streets.
For pool shells sprayed with gunite, tell us the rig output so we can space the trucks; gunite work is slower than a slab pour and a full 12 m³ load can sit too long if it arrives early.
Volumes and truck count
A pool shell or an extension raft is often 15 to 40 m³: two to four trucks. With small pours like these we send the first truck, confirm the pump is ready and placing, then release the next one, so nothing queues at the community gate.
The plant is about 9 km away via Al Qudra Road or Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Peak traffic stretches that trip, so morning pours are best booked to start early.
Questions from Arabian Ranches sites
- Do I need a community permit to receive concrete in Arabian Ranches?
- In most cases yes. Check with the community management for the permit and allowed hours before booking the pour.
- Can a pump reach my back garden over the villa?
- Usually, with a 43 m boom parked on the street. Send us a photo of the front of the plot and we will check the setup.
