Concrete Sask

Concrete Sask We represent over 60 concrete plants and approximately 90 percent of the ready mixed concrete poured in Saskatchewan. Concrete Sask.

(SRMCA) has been around since 1963 when it started out as the Prairie Ready Mixed Concrete Association. Then in 1983 the name was changed to the Saskatchewan Ready Mixed Concrete Association Inc. The Prairie name was dropped because Alberta (ARMCA) and Manitoba (MRMCA) had both started their own associations. The Prairie Region Mixer is now the official quarterly newspaper for the three organizati

ons. They work together on marketing, promotion, technical advancement, and training on an ongoing basis.

This Labour Day, we recognize the people behind the concrete that Saskatchewan relies on every day.

It’s beneath our feet, along the roads we travel and throughout the communities we call home. In our schools, hospitals, homes, businesses, farms and critical infrastructure, concrete is part of everyday life.

But none of it happens without people.

From producing and delivering to placing and finishing, our industry is built by skilled people who put in the work every day to build something that will serve Saskatchewan for generations.

Today, we recognize them.

Happy Labour Day from Concrete Sask 🇨🇦

Concrete Sask recommends completing exterior flatwork by September 15th whenever possible and there’s a reason for it.

Even when a new driveway, patio or sidewalk looks finished, the concrete is still curing, gaining strength and losing moisture. The later we get into fall, the less time it has before Saskatchewan winter arrives.

Completing exterior flatwork by September 15th gives your concrete more time to:

✅Cure and gain strength before freezing temperatures
✅Lose excess moisture before repeated freeze-thaw cycles begin
✅Reach approximately 28 days of age by mid-October
✅Have a better chance of suitable temperature and dry weather for sealing
✅Be better prepared for the demands of its first Saskatchewan winter

Can you pour after September 15th? Absolutely.

Experienced contractors understand late season concrete and know how to adjust curing, protection and cold weather practices as conditions change.

But there is a trade off owners should understand. A later pour may mean that by the time the concrete is ready for a compatible sealer, the weather no longer provides an appropriate application window.

If sealing has to wait until spring, that new concrete will require extra care through its first winter:

▪️No salt or chemical de-icers
▪️Be mindful of conditions that can contribute to surface damage
▪️Follow your contractor and your local concrete producers recommendations for protecting the new concrete

Without the proper precautions, the risk of scaling and other surface issues appearing in the spring can increase.

September 15th isn’t a CSA cut-off. It’s a Concrete Sask BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION, designed to give your concrete time and give you the best opportunity to protect your investment before winter.

You can pour later. Just know what your concrete will need after you do.

This week, Concrete Sask’s Executive Director, Ashley Brown and President, Rob Wenger, were in Toronto for Concrete Canada’s Strategic Planning Session. 🇨🇦

Provincial concrete associations from across the country came together to talk about where our industry is headed and how we can work together to strengthen it.

From advocacy and technical resources to education, workforce development and a stronger national voice, there’s a lot of opportunity when we bring the knowledge and experience from each province to the same table.

Strong provinces. One national industry.

We’re excited about what’s ahead for Concrete Canada and proud to make sure Saskatchewan has a voice in shaping it.

🚛 IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT | Trey Guckert, Koncrete Construction Group

For our final In the Driver’s Seat spotlight, we’re featuring someone who has quite literally grown up around ready-mix.

Trey Guckert is third generation in a family-run concrete company, and the industry has been part of his life for as long as he can remember.

When asked what people outside the industry may not realize about the job, Trey summed it up well:

“We’re professional drivers, amateur meteorologists, part-time mechanics, therapists, friends & family.”

It speaks to the versatility the job demands and the relationships built along the way.

And when asked if he would choose the industry again, his answer reflects what comes from a lifetime around concrete:

“Definitely. I’ve spent my whole life watching grey mud turn into massive structures.”

A fitting way to close out this year’s series with a reminder that for many in Saskatchewan’s ready-mix industry, concrete isn’t simply a job. It’s a career, a family business and in some cases, a legacy passed from one generation to the next.

Thank you to Trey and every driver who shared their experience with us.

Tomorrow, we draw two winners for the prize packages generously provided by Redhead Equipment and London Machinery Inc. 🚛💪

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL, SASKATCHEWAN! 🚌

This week, kids across the province are heading back to school, which means bus stops are busy, crosswalks are full and there are a lot more little feet moving through our communities.

At the same time, Saskatchewan’s construction season is still in full swing and ready-mix trucks are busy on our roads and jobsites.

🚸A few reminders as we head into the school year:

🚛 Drivers: Slow down, stay alert and watch closely for kids around schools, crosswalks and residential areas.

🎒 Parents: Talk to your kids about staying aware around large trucks. Ready-mix trucks have significant blind spots, and if you can’t see the driver, there’s a good chance the driver can’t see you.

👀 Kids: Give big trucks lots of space, never play or walk close to them and always make sure you’re seen before crossing nearby.

Let’s all do our part to keep Saskatchewan kids safe 💚

From all of us at Concrete Sask … have a safe and great school year! 📚✏️🖍️

THIS is Saskatchewan concrete 🌾

7 a.m. at the Swayze Concrete plant and Ashley jumped in the passenger seat with Ryan and headed out for a bin pad pour.

Saskatchewan highways. Gravel roads. Combines rolling. Harvest in full force. And a mixer truck headed straight into farm country.

Hard to get a better look at what local concrete really means … batched locally, delivered locally and building the farms and communities right here at home.

And after years in the concrete industry, somehow this was Ashley’s FIRST ride along in a mixer truck 👀

Huge thanks to Ryan for letting her tag along!

Ashley’s along for the ride with Swayze Concrete Ltd today … stay tuned 👀

🚛 IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT | Andriy Kravchenko, Cindercrete

After 19 years behind the wheel, Andriy Kravchenko has delivered concrete to a lot of jobsites around Saskatoon, But there are a few you remember and for Andriy, one of those is River Landing.

Being a ready-mix driver has taken him all over the city, working with different customers, seeing different projects come together and getting a front-row seat to just how much goes into building them.

And when we asked if he’d choose the career again?

“Absolutely yes. It is a great feeling to tell my kids that I was involved in different construction projects around the city.”

It’s something people outside the industry probably don’t think about very often. The driver behind every load of concrete is an important part of that project and it takes a lot more skill and hard work than simply getting from point A to point B.

After nearly two decades, Andriy is still proud of what he does and the projects he’s been part of.

Thanks Andriy, for taking us along for the ride 🚛💚

Now this is a satisfying concrete pour to watch 👀

Ashley, our Executive Director, got to spend a few hours onsite at the new Costco under construction in Regina watching Wappel Construction put their curb machine to work.

The machine kept moving and the finishing crew was right there with it, jumping in at exactly the right time, everyone knowing their role and where they needed to be.

A pretty cool look at the equipment, skill and teamwork that goes into something most people will eventually drive past without thinking twice about.

Thanks to Andrew and the Wappel Construction crew for letting her tag along and get some footage! 💚
