In the concrete business since 1965 on the south shore of Nova Scotia, their goal is and has always been to supply their customers with the highest quality ready mix concrete, concrete products, and aggregate. Their product lines have expanded over the years and they can presently supply you with almost all your concrete needs. Their experienced staff is ready to assist you when making your choices.

PAVERS

Pavers are made from a "zero slump" concrete mix comprised of 6mm washed aggregate, block sand, and Portland cement. Manufactured under pressure and high-frequency vibrations, pavers are very durable and are stress and frost-resistant. Under normal residential use, pavers should last over 30 years. Their pavers are offered in a variety of unique interlocking shapes allowing for an abundance of creative possibilities. Dirty or broken stones can be easily replaced, and entire areas of pavers can be taken up and then reused making landscape changes or repairs to underground utilities simple and worry-free.

READY-MIX CONCRETE

Ready-mix concrete in Nova Scotia is a mixture of sand, stone, cement, and water. The cement and water combine to make a paste that binds everything together and becomes the foundation of the concrete's strength. Many people often confuse the words concrete and cement. Cement is the powder used to make concrete. Concrete is the finished product of the paste and aggregate.

Because it is durable, economical, and can take many forms, concrete is one of the world's most used construction materials. From underground to the top of high-rise buildings, ready mix concrete can be found almost everywhere. The most common uses are house foundations, bridges, driveways, high-rise buildings, and much, much more. South Shore Ready Mix can provide you with the cement and the appropriate aggregates needed to complete concrete projects at your home or business. If you are a do-it-yourself, they can get you the proper materials for your project.

WHARF CRIB BEAMS

Their crib beams are constructed of cage-reinforced 5000 PSI structural concrete and held together by stainless steel anchor rods at each corner. This construction ensures a strong, reliable, durable wharf crib designed to withstand their harsh Atlantic Marine environment. Their crib beams offer the following advantages:

• Environmentally friendly
• It will not rot or decay
• The open structure is designed to allow free tidal flow which prevents silting and reduces tidal pressure

The system assembles much faster than wood and is much more economical than wood but will last infinitely longer than wood.
