Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced concrete is a high-strength concrete mix used for structural and load-bearing applications where durability and stability are critical. It is commonly specified for foundations, slabs and commercial construction projects that require greater structural performance.
AMIX supplies reinforced concrete mixed to specification and delivered ready for placement, supporting a wide range of domestic and commercial builds.

What Is Reinforced Concrete?
Reinforced concrete is a concrete mix designed to be used alongside structural reinforcement, such as steel bars or mesh, which are installed separately within the formwork. The concrete itself provides compressive strength, while the reinforcement handles tensile forces once the concrete has cured.
AMIX supplies the reinforced concrete mix only. Structural reinforcement is specified and installed by the contractor or engineer as part of the build.
This combination makes reinforced concrete suitable for projects where strength, load capacity and long-term performance are essential.
Reinforced Concrete Uses
Reinforced concrete is used in applications where standard concrete alone may not provide sufficient structural support. Typical uses include:
- Reinforced concrete slabs
- Reinforced concrete for foundations
- Structural concrete for load bearing structures
- Commercial and industrial construction projects
- Retaining walls and structural bases
It is widely chosen for projects that must meet engineering and building control requirements.

Benefits of Reinforced Concrete
When used correctly with appropriate reinforcement, reinforced concrete offers several key advantages:
- High load-bearing capacity
- Long-term structural durability
- Resistance to cracking under heavy loads
- Suitable for large and complex builds
- Proven performance in commercial projects
These qualities make reinforced concrete a reliable choice for demanding construction environments.
Reinforced Concrete for Foundations and Slabs
Reinforced concrete is commonly used for foundations and slabs where ground conditions, building loads or structural design demand additional strength. Steel reinforcement is placed according to engineering specifications, with the concrete poured around it to create a solid structural element.
Correct design, preparation and placement are essential. AMIX can advise on suitable concrete specifications, but structural design and reinforcement layout should always be confirmed by a qualified professional.
How Reinforced Concrete Is Supplied
AMIX supplies reinforced concrete batched to order and delivered ready to pour. Before delivery, ensure:
- Reinforcement is installed and secured
- Formwork is complete and checked
- Access is suitable for delivery vehicles
- Labour is available for immediate placement
Prompt pouring and proper curing are essential to achieve the required structural performance.
