Concrete mix design is both an art and a science.
Different types of concrete mixtures
We can work with your cement, slag cement, fly ash, silica fume, admixtures, and aggregate to design a concrete that is place-able, pump-able and durable. Here’s what we can design for you:
- self-consolidating concrete
- ultra-high performance concrete
- high strength concrete
- high grade concrete
- low-carbon concrete
- concrete with low diffusion rates

- freeze-thaw durable concrete
- high density concrete for radiation shielding
- fiber-reinforced concrete
- fly ash concrete
- low-shrinkage concrete
- low-density concrete
- lightweight concrete
- shrinkage compensating concrete
Our president, Kevin MacDonald, was the chief of engineering and quality control at a large ready mix company that provided concrete in both urban and rural settings. We understand the challenges associated with the trucking, placing, and finishing aspects of ready-mix concrete production and delivery.
Whether you’re a contractor responsible for mixture design, a ready-mix supplier trying something new, an engineer reviewing concrete mixture submittals, or an owner/architect who has unique design constraints, Beton offers experienced concrete mix design capabilities and expert advice. We can also conduct trial batching in our own laboratory. Our testing capabilities are always expanding. They now include calorimetry and maturity calibration.
