Yes, this is not our “specialty”, but we can arrange deliveries. You will need to book this with us as far in advance as possible. Sometimes we can do some last minute stuff, so it never hurts to call and ask. Charges for this service are based on distance traveled from our yard and what’s involved once we arrive. Prices start at $180 for delivery within Calgary and include one person to help you unload the cart, and the cart cleanup. Outside of Calgary, delivery starts at $200 – contact us for a quote. If you call us, we can tell you what the cost would likely be. Even with our delivery charges, our price is still less expensive for small quantities than any other delivery option available in Calgary.
I can’t think of anything here actually, but I guess one reason might be that you may be too far away from us. The further outside Calgary city limits you have to go, the more likely that issues will arise. The second reason is that you may not have a suitable vehicle to tow our carts and you may not be willing to pay our delivery charges.
We accept cash, debit, Visa or MasterCard only.
pouring concrete in cold weather conditions.
The Alberta Building Code, Part 9.3.1.9 Cold Weather Requirements states that when the air temperature is below 5°C, concrete shall be:
A) kept at a temperature of not less than 10°C or no more than 25°C while being
mixed and placed and
B) maintained at a temperature of not less than 10°C for 72 hours after placing.
So, as the weather gets colder, Steve’s U-Cart, as we do every year, will start using heated aggregates, hot water and an accelerator instead of a retardant to ensure that our concrete meets code requirements.
*Industry standard for adding accelerator to a concrete mix is October 15th to April 30th. For anyone who is pouring inside a heated area, we can still accommodate you with regular mixes.
We have also made a change in regards to our concrete disposal fees. Actually, we’ve eliminated our disposal fees altogether! It is our goal to provide you with accurate quantities of concrete so you won’t have an excessive amount left over when you are done. So, if for any reason you do have concrete leftover, you can now unload it at our
yard free of charge.
*We can unload it for you, but there will be a charge for the extra labour involved.
