Terrebonne Concrete is the only ready-mix supplier in Terrebonne & Lafourche parishes that uses limestone aggregate vs river gravel. There are many advantages to using crushed limestone over river gravel. First off, crushed limestone has a 5-12% strength advantage in a given amount of cement in the mix. This advantage comes from the fact that

Although extensively used in concrete, Magnesian limestones have often been compared unfavourably with Carboniferous limestones because of the wide variability in the aggregates available. A lack of information on the extent of this variability and its effect on performance in service was highlighted when the resource potential of Magnesian limestone outcrops was being assessed in the mid

Studies have shown that this thermal stability coupled with limestone’s superior curing properties results in greater crack spacing, and less crack width in limestone concrete slabs. Most concrete is made by mixing a ¼” to 200 mesh (200 wires per inch) sand with aggregate graded from 1 ½” to 3/8” or aggregate graded from 1 ¼” to 3

Aggregates are generally thought of as inert filler within a concrete mix. But a closer look reveals the major role and influence aggregate plays in the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. Changes in gradation, maximum size, unit weight, and moisture content can all alter the character and performance of your concrete mix.
