Definitions

• the concrete likewise steel, is one of the main materials used in construction works. Composed of cement and aggregates - comprising stone, sand and water - we can nowadays manufacture concrete in various ways.
• specialized concrete companies dose components in a central station, which is usually far from the construction site. They are then, carried in a beton and/or mixer truck, which is responsible for the blending and the transportation of the concrete. Therefore, it arrives at the field construction in a ready-to-use way. It can either be finished by adding additives or not. '
• the objective of the current invention is to present a method for supplying concrete which overcomes the usual problems. It can neither be of difficult implementation nor of high complexity. Furthermore, the method must be one of low acquisition, with adequate maintenance, functioning and equipment.
• Method means the careful dosing of dry concrete, aggregates -sand and comprising stone-, water and additives in a remote central station; the transportation of these parts, in a separate way, in appropriate places to the field work and the "in loco" blending of parts, in a local beton and/or mixer truck, which composes and blends the concrete right before its launching.
• the attached drawings show the method for supplying concrete to construction sites, as well as the movable box of aggregates, which is used to supply the concrete to beton and/or mixer trucks.
• Drawing figure 1 shows a block diagram of the method
• Drawing figure 2 shows the movable box of aggregates which can be used to implement the method, previously described in drawing figure 1.
• Drawing figures 3, 4 and 5 show a non-restrictive illustration of a possible configuration of the movable box, which is used to transport the dosed dry concrete, the aggregates and the water. They show a perspective, plant and section views.
• Drawing figure 6 shows a schematic view of the movable box working together with a beton and/or mixer truck, "in loco".
• the method for supplying concrete to construction sites consists of:
• this method can feature modifications, which relate to the steps and parameters of the process, materials, dimensions, constructive details and functional configuration without exceeding the protection claimed by this patent requirement.
