AVR offers over 1,000 proven concrete mix designs—each crafted with performance, precision, and local Minnesota expertise in mind. All mixes meet or exceed ASTM and MnDOT standards and are backed by our ACI/MnDOT-certified team. We support engineers and specifiers with technical documentation and mix design for:
AVR offers a variety of ready mix concrete solutions for all projects and needs. Whether you need a concrete mix for your contracted project, your own home, or other construction projects, we’ve got you covered.
Ready mix concrete has much more to offer than just your common gray. Interior floors, exterior flatwork, and building design elements can all be enhanced with color and texture to add visual value to any project. At AVR we can produce and deliver concrete in hundreds of differing colors.
High-strength concrete is defined by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) as concrete with a specified compressive strength of 6,000 psi or greater. Although concretes with compressive strengths greater than 6,000 psi can be produced using only cement as the binding material, most of AVR's high performance mixes will also contain a mineral admixture such as fly ash, silica fume, or ground granulated blast furnace slag.
AVR is committed to more sustainable construction practices. Embodied carbon refers to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of concrete. Due to its widespread use and cement content, concrete is a significant contributor. By using low-carbon concrete mixes, often achieved through optimized mix designs and the use of supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash or slag, project teams can significantly reduce the environmental impact of a structure from the outset.
At AVR, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all concrete. We’ll design a mix to your exact specs and ensure its effectiveness with our quality control and engineering team. Whether you're chasing early strength, working around climate challenges, or optimizing for LEED® or B3, we’ll create the best concrete for your exact project and specifications.
