Success Story

Recently, LCC Readymix undertook the prestigious project of extension of a major hotel in Vijayawada. The site of the project was about 25 km away from the batching plant. In order to transport the concrete to the project site, 15 KYB-Conmat transit mixers had been employed. A 75 cu.m/hr KYB-Conmat Stationary Batching Plant – CRP 750 IL5, had been employed for producing concrete for the project. In 9.5 hours, about 600 cu.m. concrete was utilized, which is an amazing achievement. In another project, the KYB-Conmat equipment used by LCC Readymix helped complete a 1,500 cu.m raft in 22 hours. This is the highest quantity produced, and transported by any plant in the region. At yet another site, more than 700 cu.m concrete was produced and transported successfully in 10 hours. LCC Readymix has also been achieving great results with KYB-Conmat transit mixers in building the Andhra Pradesh Assembly Hall in Guntur. LCC Readymix is the highest concrete supplier for the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat project with L&T and Shapoorji Pallonji.
