HOW TO USE THIS TOOL
- Select the calculation method.
- Enter the required dimensions or quantity information.
- Enter the waste factor. Default is 7%.
- Enter ready-mix truck capacity. Default is 10 CY.
- Click Calculate.
- Review base quantity, waste-adjusted order quantity, truck count, and final load.
Note: Verify field dimensions, waste assumptions, truck capacity, mix requirements, and actual project conditions before ordering concrete.
Account for Waste
Always add 5-10% to your total volume to account for spillage, subgrade irregularities, and formwork deflection. It is cheaper to have a small surplus than to order a short-load.
Dimension Accuracy
Measure the actual formwork dimensions, not the project drawings. Field conditions often differ. Ensure depth measures are consistent across the entire pour area for precise yardage.
Slump Variance
Higher slump mixes may occupy slightly more volume due to air content and workability additives. Coordinate with your dispatch to confirm yield factors for high-flow mixes.
