Central Concrete Project Feasibility Study

The concept of central concrete stems from the recent expansions and urban renaissance the world has witnessed. The project's concept is based on a complete concrete foundation, which facilitates the construction process.

Concrete can be defined as a mixture of certain components, such as sand, gravel, water, cement, and several other materials. This mixture is then placed in wooden or metal molds so that the concrete takes the same shape in which it was placed inside the mold.

Concrete is used in many applications such as building columns and anything related to floors or construction.

 

Central Concrete Project Feasibility Study

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has strived to achieve the highest ranking among countries in implementing large and impressive construction projects, and it has indeed succeeded in achieving this, as all projects have been completed and implemented with amazing ease and speed.

All construction projects rely on ready-mix concrete as the primary basis for construction operations, in accordance with international quality standards. This has helped significantly increase demand for ready-mix concrete.

This has led to many people becoming interested in establishing a factory for the construction and sale of ready-mix concrete, a project considered one of the most successful in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

 

Features of the Central Concrete Project

The project boasts numerous advantages that are highly sought after and are a critical requirement in construction operations. These advantages include:

1. It is suitable for many engineers as it is formed to take the shape of the mold it is placed in, which makes it suitable for making many shapes.
2. It requires no time or effort and is ready to build, thus greatly speeding up the construction process.
3. The product provides many constructions in the country in a short time.
4. It is of high quality when compared to what is used in the construction process itself.
5. It is reasonably priced compared to other types and saves a lot of labor.
6. It is flexible in taking the shape the customer desires.
7. Concrete is characterized by its ability to overcome many environmental conditions, such as extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in the winter.
8. It retains water to a high degree, protecting it inside the cement.
9. The iron inside it does not rust, but rather protects it.
10. Concrete making is easy and smooth, it only requires experienced and trained hands.
11. The cost of the project is reasonable and not high.
12. The project is a successful and profitable project.

 

Central Concrete Project Requirements

Any project requires several requirements to be met in order to achieve its objectives. The most important requirements for a central concrete project are:

 

First: Equipment to be purchased

Any project requires several pieces of equipment, and the most important equipment required for a central concrete project is the following:

1. Concrete sink at a cost of 200,000 Saudi riyals.
2. A large factory of German brands at a cost of approximately 1,500,000 Saudi riyals.
3. 4 pumps of different sizes at a cost of 1,600,000 Saudi riyals.
4. The project requires 2 cement blocks at a cost of 250,000 Saudi Riyals.
5. The project requires 15 12m cement mixers at a cost of 1,000,000 SAR.
6. 4 pickup trucks to carry all workshop and delegate supplies at a cost of 65,000 Saudi riyals.
7. 3 trailers at a cost of 200,000 Saudi riyals.
8. Integrated warehouse at a cost of 50,000 Saudi riyals.
9. Large workshop at a cost of 300,000 Saudi riyals.

 

Second: The necessary labor

We must have highly experienced and qualified workers trained by the best experts.

 

Total cost of conducting a feasibility study for a central concrete project

The total cost of the project can be determined by determining the following:

1. Equipment costs up to 4,515,000 Saudi Riyals.
2. Labor costs amount to 61,000 Saudi Riyals.
3. All costs amounted to 4,576,000 Saudi Riyals.
4. All licenses can be easily obtained through the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

 

Concrete Plant Cost Accounting

It is a ready-mix concrete plant accounting software issued by Acflex. It is considered the best accounting software for managing ready-mix concrete activities. Its importance stems from its ability to cover all stages of ready-mix concrete production, from raw material preparation to the sale of the final product and profit and loss calculation.

 

Ready-mix concrete profits

The ready-mix concrete plant project is considered one of the most important and profitable projects currently, due to the great demand witnessed in the world of construction and building in most countries experiencing significant urban development.

This increases the demand for ready-mix concrete, which results in increased profits for ready-mix concrete factories. It can be said that the risk ratio in such a project is very small, because the work depends on customer demand.

 

Concrete factory licensing requirements

There are several conditions that must be taken into consideration when establishing a ready-mix concrete factory project, including:

1. The factory must be located in industrial areas, and the concrete plant sites must be distributed equally in different parts of the city.
2. The site area must not be less than 10,000 m2 in areas located in flat cities, while in areas located in mountainous areas, the area must not be less than 5,000 m2.
3. The location must be easily accessible, i.e., there must be easy transportation options.
4. A detailed traffic study must be provided on the potential impact of the factory on traffic in the area and surrounding streets.
5. It is not permitted to establish a central concrete plant on agricultural land owned by individuals within the boundaries of the master plan for villages and cities.
6. The factory must be set up in a certain way so that the prevailing winds carry the dust rising from it outside the city.
7. All necessary health and environmental precautions must be taken to prevent the spread of cement particles and dust into the air surrounding the factory.
8. Aggregate storage areas must be covered and protected to avoid dust spread.
9. It is important to ensure that waste from washing equipment, central mixers, pumps, and trucks does not leak into nearby valleys.
10. A cement filtration system must be provided and maintained during the entire project period.
11. The entire site road must be paved, concrete floors installed under the central mixers, and truck cleaning areas must be provided.
12. It is necessary to ensure that traffic flow is regulated in and out of the site, with all necessary traffic signs in place.
13. Concrete waste must be disposed of at the plant after unloading. All waste must be collected in basins, the contents of which are disposed of in locations designated by the municipality.
14. Strict emphasis must be placed on not disposing of waste or washing trucks on public roads or even off-site.
15. Public roads must be protected from the leakage of aggregate and cement. Manufactured concrete is transported in designated trucks, with precautions taken to prevent the mixture from spilling onto public roads.
16. Construction and station installation work must be carried out by a contractor or companies specialized in this field.
