Concrete trucks require access to water for various purposes, including washing out the drum and chute after a pour to avoid the build-up and hardening of concrete.
To minimize water consumption, industry professionals have adopted best practices, such as using high pressure hoses to ensure effective cleaning of the drum and chute and using a bucket to capture runoff water and dispose of it properly.
These best practices are just some of the ways that the concrete industry in BC is striving to minimize its impact on the environment and protect our natural resources.
