A concrete batch plant, also known as a concrete plant, is a facility that combines raw materials such as sand, water, aggregate, cement, and others to create ready-mix concrete.

Concrete Plants and Traffic Congestion

Concrete batch plants use trucks to move product from the plant to its intended delivery point and to deliver raw materials (aggregates) to the plant. On average, a ready-mix concrete batch plant employs 10-20 trucks that make a total of 75 trips per day combined.
 

Regulation of Concrete Plants in Texas

Texas has a set of laws and guidelines that govern the development of concrete batch plants. Processes are also in place for citizens to participate in permitting hearings. Learn More about Permitting and Regulation of Concrete Plants in Texas.
