ETE Ready Mix Produces Zero Slump Concrete for Airport Runways

Created on February 17, 2020

ETE Ready Mix, one of the leading ready-mix concrete suppliers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has launched its Dhahran Station, which will produce zero slump concrete specifically for concrete pavers. This milestone highlights the company’s ability to manufacture any type of concrete available in the market.

The new station will supply concrete for airport runways and aircraft standing areas, specially developed by ETE Ready Mix. Concrete is the preferred choice for terminal aircraft standing zones and runways due to its durability against the heavy loads of slow-moving airplanes and its resistance to aviation fuel. Additionally, runways require highly durable materials to meet the demanding standards of airports and airbases.

Globally, concrete is increasingly used to build world-class airport runways, utilizing high-density pavers to form non-reinforced concrete pavement. This type of zero slump concrete eliminates the need for forms, hand finishing, steel reinforcement, or joint saw-cutting.

Beyond aviation, zero slump concrete is also ideal for industrial, commercial, and military applications such as intermodal yards, distribution centers, and heavy equipment staging areas. It can also be used for resurfacing or constructing residential streets, industrial access roads, high-traffic intersections, highway shoulders, parking lots, and airport aprons or taxiways.

ETE Ready Mix already produces a wide range of specialized concrete, including durable concrete, self-compacting concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete, and other custom-designed mixes tailored to client requirements. The company has consistently demonstrated reliable operations and the technical expertise needed to deliver such specialized products.

As one of the leading ready-mix concrete manufacturers, ETE Ready Mix provides not only innovative products but also comprehensive solutions. With a strong focus on customer-oriented project planning, effective design, and thorough consultation, ETE Ready Mix ensures the delivery of high-quality results through the dedication and expertise of its team.
