One Large Plant Vs. Two Small Plants – What Is Right for You

Many ready mix concrete producers face this question while setting up a new location. Both approaches have some pros and cons that you must know to make a wise decision. 


 

The Pros of Using a Single Concrete Plant

The benefits of using a single large plant are as follows:

  1. You only have to maintain one plant

  2. Comparatively easy traffic pattern management 

  3. You will need less land to set up the plant

The Cons of Using a Single Concrete Plant

Below are the few disadvantages that you might face if you use a single concrete plant:

  1. No redundancy

  2. Larger plants are comparatively more complex to manage

  3. The parts of a large plant are more expensive in general

The Pros of Using Two Smaller Concrete Plants

The advantages of using two smaller concrete plants are as follows:

  1. The second plant may offer redundancy

  2. You can share reclaim water area

  3. You can appoint a single operator to batch both plants (however, smart planning is needed to make it happen)

  4. The parts of smaller plants are cheaper than larger plants

  5. Smaller plants are less complicated to handle

  6. You can also share aggregate storage between two small plants

The Cons of Using Two Smaller Concrete Plants

Below are a few disadvantages that you may face if you use two smaller plants:

  1. You will need more land to set up two distinct plants

  2. Two different plants mean more maintenance cost

  3. It may result in complex traffic pattern management
