Ready-Mix
At Gorge Crete, we customize your concrete at our plant in Dallesport, Washington to meet the specific needs of your project. Ensuring optimal performance and durability in any environment. Once your concrete formula is batched, we deliver it directly to your job site.

Concrete Customization & Additives
-
We offer a variety of high range admixtures ranging from accelerators, air entrainments, retarders and water reducers.
Eucoshield is a ready to use liquid admixture designed for Type IL cements to be used as an integral finishing aid that reduces rapid moisture loss from the concrete surface. It’s especially effective when operations must be performed in direct sun, wind, high temperatures, vapor barrier requirements or low relative humidity.
-
Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) improves durability, reduces plastic shrinkage cracks, and saves time on the job site. Compared to wire mesh, fibers can provide the same level of reinforcement and will be evenly distributed throughout the concrete.
We offer a variety of macro and micro synthetic and steel fiber options.

Colors are light-fast, lime-proof and weatherproof, providing a permanent colorfast solution. Increte Color-Crete can be used in all cementitious materials, providing an unlimited palette for decorative effects.
-
EUCON VANDEX AM-10 can be used in all aspects of ready-mixed concrete where waterproof structures are mandated. From water treatment facilities to building foundations and basements to water containment structures, EUCON VANDEX AM-10 can be used in above and below grade applications.
EUCON BARACADE WPT is a high performance liquid water repellent admixture used to improve the durability and surface integrity of concrete exposed to harsh weather conditions.

Recycled Concrete Aggregates are made from the crushing and reprocessing of old concrete. These aggregates are then reused in new construction projects, serving as a sustainable alternative to traditional natural aggregates. RCAs are commonly used in road base, foundations, and as a component in new concrete mixes, helping reduce waste and the environmental impact of mining raw materials.
Pumping
Our team will come to your job site and skillfully pump your customized concrete. We have three different types of truck options that allow us to pump in a variety of scenarios. We support and work with Mike Schultz Concrete Pumping at 541-490-3555.

Prices vary. The main driver in the pricing of concrete are the raw materials that are contained in the mix such as admixtures and color. Location, volume, regulatory fees, on-site personnel and equipment are also factors. Contact us to get a quote for your project’s needs.
-
The type of concrete mix to use is influenced by multiple factors. The primary influence is engineering requirements, location, the type of application, the required strength, etc. Please reach out to us and we will help you customize your concrete.
-
Check out our handy concrete calculator to determine the volume needed.
Add an additional half yard if using a line pump. Add an additional one yard if using an overhead pump.
-
The easiest way to add strength is to add cement. The factor that mostly influences concrete strength is the ratio of water to cement in the cement paste that binds the aggregates together. The higher this ratio is, the weaker the concrete will be. Every desirable physical property that you can measure will be adversely affected by adding more water.
