Concreting the Floors on a Multi-Storey New Build in Deansgate
This new build in the heart of Deansgate, Manchester needed concrete floors on every level — but on a tight city-centre high-rise site, there’s no driving a wagon up to each floor. Every load had to go up by the building’s hoist. So we set up at the base, barrowed the concrete from our volumetric wagon into the site lift, and sent it up floor by floor. Barrow Mix team there to the rescue.
City-centre multi-storey jobs are all about access. With our free barrowing service and on-site volumetric mixing, we can get fresh concrete exactly where it’s needed — even when “where it’s needed” is several storeys up a scaffolded tower reached only by a hoist.
Floor by floor, every level got its concrete, mixed fresh on site to spec with no part-loads wasted. It’s the kind of difficult-access, high-rise job that shows what on-site mixing and a willing team can do.

Can you supply concrete for a multi-storey building?
Yes — on high-rise and city-centre sites we get the concrete up however the site allows: barrowed into the building’s hoist, as on this Deansgate job, or pumped up for taller pours. It’s all mixed fresh on site by our volumetric wagons so you get exactly what you need, floor by floor.
How do you get concrete up to the higher floors?
Two main ways: barrowed into the site hoist/goods lift and wheeled out on each level, or placed by concrete pump for height. We look at the site access and work out the best method with you before the pour.
Do you do city-centre and restricted-access concrete?
Yes — tight access is our bread and butter. Our volumetric mixing plus a free barrowing service means we can reach jobs across Deansgate and central Manchester that a standard drum mixer simply can’t. See our commercial concrete page.
Do you cover Manchester city centre and Deansgate?
Yes — we supply ready-mixed concrete right across Manchester city centre, Deansgate and Greater Manchester. See our Manchester ready-mix concrete page for more.
