Volumetric Concrete in Rustington, Worthing and Sussex
Because site-mixed concrete requires a volumetric lorry to mix components in accurate quantities to a set specification once the vehicle is onsite, it is often the case that our product is also referred to as volumetric concrete.

Our website contains plenty of information about our concrete mixes, but this page explains how volumetric lorries work and discusses the benefits of using site-mixed concrete over a more traditional ready-mixed product.
How Does a Volumetric Lorry Work?
It helps to think of a volumetric lorry as a mobile concrete pump hire plant to make things simpler. The lorry has separate compartments which hold the basic components needed to make site-mixed concrete, like aggregates, sand, cement and water. Whereas pre-prepared concrete mixes are already setting while in transit, volumetric concrete is a precisely measured product, formed onsite, to proportions which ensure good consistency and strength.
Because site-mixed concrete is prepared by volume instead of weight, our volumetric lorry fleet can easily deal with mixed batch orders.
With services available in all Sussex areas, including locations such as Arundel, Bognor Regis, Lancing, Littlehampton, Rustington and Worthing, our company is a dependable choice for volumetric concrete and has a modern fleet that allows for the mixing of product without the need for a secondary truck.
A concrete pump hire service typically includes the following steps:
- The operator uses the control panel menu to calibrate and program concrete mixes based on the order of the client
- The control panel determines the quantity of components needed for site-mixed concrete to eliminate any guesswork
- The mixer on a volumetric lorry adds the raw components into a mixing chamber for an accurate pour with less waste
- The central conveyor moves the components into the augur at the rear of the lorry to produce the volumetric concrete
- The volumetric lorry discharges the site-mixed concrete exactly where it is needed to keep your project running to time
At Coastal Concrete Ltd, we believe that volumetric concrete is an important part of the present and a futureproof choice for our company. Simple onsite mixing using raw components ensures a mix of excellent consistency, poured accurately so that clients only pay for the material used, not for the waste.
