Two jobs, two dispatch plans
New phases are pour-by-pour production work: strip footings, ground slabs, first-floor slabs on repeated townhouse blocks. Here we agree a daily schedule with the site, often several pours across adjacent plots, and run trucks in a loop so the pump moves from block to block without waiting.
Completed villa areas are the opposite. The community controls who comes in and when, so the pour is booked around a permit and a time slot. Check with the developer or community management for those rules; we plan the trucks to arrive inside the slot you are given.
Phases still under construction usually have a contractor gate separate from the residents' entrance. Use it, and tell us which one it is, because a mixer sent to the wrong gate loses time it cannot get back.
Slump, retarder and the summer sun
Twelve kilometres plus traffic is long enough for a summer load to stiffen. We add a retarder dose set for the expected travel time and the hour of the pour, and target the slump at discharge, not at the plant. The sites here are open, so once the concrete is placed, wind and sun dry the surface fast. Plan curing compound or wet hessian before the first truck arrives.
How many trucks for a townhouse slab
A typical townhouse floor slab of 45 to 60 m³ takes four to five 12 m³ trucks. With a 43 m boom placing at a steady rate, one truck every twenty to twenty-five minutes keeps the pour continuous. Ground slabs that can be reached with the chute or a short boom go faster, and we tighten the spacing.

Questions from DAMAC Hills sites
- Can you supply several townhouse plots in one day?
- Yes. Give us the sequence of plots and volumes and we run trucks in a loop between them.
- Who sets delivery hours inside DAMAC Hills?
- The developer and community management. Check their rules and permit process before booking.
- Can a mixer reach a pool site next to the golf course?
- Often only by pump. A 43 m boom from the street reaches most rear gardens; send us a photo of the plot frontage.
