CONCRETE
Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, water, aggregates and admixtures; it has a plastic consistency when fresh and mechanical strength characteristics when hardened, which makes it an ideal material for construction.
Thus, for any type of project, we provide ready-mix concrete preparation, transportation, and pumping services. Ready-mix concrete, more than a product, is an integral package that represents a series of benefits for the user. These benefits are translated into product quality, mix traceability, qualified advice, time and transportation savings; all of which are reasons why it surpasses on-site concrete, providing greater cost benefits.
Depending on the type of project, whether it’s for foundations, sidewalks, columns, slabs, etc., ready-mixed concrete is automatically and simultaneously dosed in the mixers with the necessary concrete additives to provide better consistency and workability. This ensures compliance with user requirements. The concrete is then transported in suitable concrete trucks. Additionally, for concrete discharge in elevated or hard-to-reach areas, concrete pumping is provided using concrete pumps with telescopic arms that have a vertical reach of 40 meters.
The designs are made according to the needs of our clients and comply with the Peruvian technical standards (NTP) and ASTM.

Manufactured in modern vibro-compacting machines, with an automated dosing system of raw materials for the manufacture of vibro-compressed concrete products and with high quality controls, thus guaranteeing a high quality of the elements as well as a permanent stock made available to all clients.
PAVERS
The pavers are simple concrete pieces that have undergone a vibro-compaction process, ensuring a faster, more comfortable and safer transit, as well as being cost-effective and having a better behavior in case of rain.
Because of their beauty, aesthetics, variety of colors, resistance to wear and tear, ease of installation and maintenance, concrete pavers are a practical solution for the construction of streets, sidewalks, patios, gardens, etc.
Supermix concrete pavers are produced under Peruvian Technical Standard NTP 399.611.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Supermix pavers are simple concrete pavement pieces, produced in automated plants with American technology equipped with control cabins and PLC boards, which monitor the entire industrialized production process.
An inclined belt conveys selected aggregate, which along with cement, water and admixtures, is batched and delivered to a concrete mixer.
This mixture is then transported to a vibro-compactor where the concrete paver molds that shape the product are located; the product is then transported on fresh metal plates to metal scaffolding where it will be taken to rooms where it will undergo a wet curing process for 24 hours to increase its initial strength, after which the product will be taken to storage areas.
BENEFITS
- Durability: It does not suffer from fractures in extreme temperature situations, offering a pavement without cracks. They have a longer useful life compared to other pavements.
- Strength: Resistant to different types of traffic (pedestrian, light and heavy vehicular, industrial). Supermix pavers have the strictest quality control to ensure their high resistance.
- Easy installation and reinstallation: They can be easily uninstalled and installed (reused) in another place, without losing their original characteristics. No skilled labor is required for installation.
- Safety and warranty: Supermix pavers have a non-slip surface, even when wet. They are also quality certified.
- Production Capacity: Our plants are prepared to meet the most demanding construction schedules in record time.
- Eco-friendly: Supermix pavers are manufactured with natural materials and without pollutants, and no chemical processes are involved in the paving process.
- Decorative: We offer a wide range of colors and shapes, which allows for a wide variety of designs and combinations.
CLASSIFICATION
BLOCKS
Used for decades as an element for all types of constructions, the traditional concrete block has evolved to previously unsuspected levels.
The great variety of shapes, sizes, textures and colors in which they are produced today, allow architects, engineers and builders to combine them to achieve spectacular aesthetic effects, with costs significantly lower than those of other materials.
MAIN APPLICATIONS
- Single-family houses.
- High-rise buildings.
- Shopping centers.
- Public buildings: schools, libraries, museums and health centers.
- Industrial buildings, complexes, factories, sheds, warehouses, etc.
- Ground support walls.
- Water cisterns
- Fire resistant barriers.
- Exterior and lower load-bearing walls.
- Enclosures of independent structures.
- Partition walls.
CLASSIFICATION
- 3 holes concrete brick
- 5 holes concrete brick
- Concrete block type 09 (non-structural) 3 holes.
- Concrete block type 14 (structural) 3 holes.
- Concrete block type 19 (structural) 3 holes.
- Half block of one hole.
BENEFITS
- Modular coordination: Allows the use of whole pre-molded pieces, half blocks, blocks with central recess, L-type blocks, T-type blocks, textured blocks (stone type), saving time, materials, tasks, etc.
- Fewer units per m2: 12.5 exact units are needed to materialize 1 m2 of masonry.
- Higher labor efficiency: A bricklayer and his assistant can build about 12 m2 of wall per day (more than 150 blocks), including a structure composed of vertical and horizontal bars distributed on the wall and properly placed with concrete filler.
- Less mortar: Less mortar is needed to set 1 m2 of concrete blocks compared to clay bricks. In some cases, the concrete block can be left exposed on the inside, without the need for any surface treatment, while on the outside it requires an adequate waterproofing treatment either by applying traditional plaster, plastics or paints.
- High resistance to axial compression of the resulting wall: This property makes this construction system (reinforced masonry) widely used in seismic zones around the world.
- Thermal and acoustic insulation: It allows a design to achieve great thermal and acoustic insulation, since the blocks have perforations close to 50% of their gross area, providing an insulating air chamber for both factors, which can be filled with suitable materials.
- Rationalization of sanitary and electrical installations: By using concrete blocks of different thicknesses (widths), the use of concrete blocks allows for the creation of entrances and outlets in the wall, commonly known as niches, where the sanitary and electrical pipes are housed, without having to cut the concrete blocks with iron cutters or abrasive discs, as is the case with bricks, with their consequent labor demand, high waste of materials and generation of localized cracks.
- Flexibility of use: As a structural and constructive system, it is possible to design from low-cost low-income housing to high-rise buildings, as well as other uses such as industrial, commercial, hotel, hospital, educational, etc.
CONCRETE SLEEPERS OR TIES
Concretos Supermix S.A. owns the first automated concrete sleeper plant for railways in Peru. Concretos Supermix manufactures sleepers based on Italian and proprietary technology, complying with international AREMA standards. The sleepers are produced through a rigorous manufacturing process that ensures durability and quality to withstand significant dynamic load efforts of up to 30 tons per axle. The sleeper plant has a production capacity of up to 800 units per day.
They offer design alternatives that can meet different types of requirements, providing safety and comfort for users.
Sleepers are structural elements placed transversely on the ballast, distributing the wheel load across the track. In addition to supporting the rails, they maintain the separation between them, providing a means for the rails to stay securely at the correct distance from the scantling.
Sleepers can come in various types, with concrete sleepers having a lifespan of over 30 years.
BENEFITS
- Greater durability: Concrete is a durable and homogeneous material that resists the action of atmospheric, climatic, and organic agents. Concrete has a lifespan of over 30 years.
- Low maintenance cost: Concrete sleepers require practically no maintenance, which means substantial savings in labor, equipment and machinery.
- High safety: Concrete sleepers are designed to provide both rigidity to ensure track stability and flexibility to absorb repeated shocks caused by passing trains, reducing the risk of derailment.
- User comfort: Concrete sleepers have a uniform and homogeneous quality, which results in lower noise levels for the user and less oscillation inside the cars.
- Ease of operation: Due to their uniformity, their manufacturing process and the materials used, the sleepers guarantee the quality of the element in kilometers of track. Likewise, they easily replace wooden sleepers.
- Economy: Concrete sleepers provide greater support to the train, which translates into greater speed, saving energy and time. They also increase the useful life of the cars and allow a greater load per axle. As it is a world-class domestic product, there are no import costs, no customs procedures, and no inventory maintenance costs.
- Reduced environmental impact: Preserving native forests is fundamental for the ecosystem. The felling of native wood such as coigue, ulmo, tineo, quebracho, tepa and oak, used for the manufacture of sleepers, represents an unnecessary environmental degradation.
