EXPERIENCE WITH OVER 30 SPECIALTY CONCRETE MIXES PRODUCED IN VOLUME
Specialty Concrete Producers
We have produced over 30 types of unique mixes of concrete and grouts from Rapid Set, Rapid Set light
weight, high density, high heat resistant concrete to marine concrete and more. The George L. Throop
Company is a specialty ready-mix concrete producer specializing in producing specialty and custom mix
concretes and grouts using our 13+ volumetric concrete mixers. We can produce fresh on-site from 1 to 60
cubic yards per hour, per truck. Our volumetric mobile concrete portable batch plants range in size from small
truck mounted units that can handle 5 yards to large 18-wheel trailer-haul mobile batch plants that can have as
much through-put as there are materials on hand.




SPECIALIZED MIX DESIGNS
Specializing in Specific Concrete Mix Designs
There are many different and varied types of concrete mix designs that can be created with all cement types
from Type I to Type V including white cement, Rapid Set cement and others. Various chemicals can be added to
achieve specific characteristics. For example, different types of aggregates can be used to change the texture,
color or extend the amount of concrete produced. The Throop Company would be happy to help with your
particular concrete mix design.
