Mixing ConcreteThe method of mixing concrete employed by the Thai's where I am involves one chap standing on the platform by the concrete mixer who feeds stone, sand, cement and water into the mixer. Others hand deliver the materials to him using the funny bucket type carriers. Once mixed the concrete is tipped into wheelbarrows for delivery and placement in the formwork. chiymanJan 18, 2011
