Alpha ConcreteAmman · JordanConcrete calculator
work out your volume
Work out ready-mix concrete in cubic metres for slabs, footings and rectangular or round columns — with a waste allowance and the number of truck mixers — then order it from Alpha.

How many cubic metres
do you need?
A first estimate; our technical team confirms before the pour.
The formula,
simply
Work out each element’s volume, add the waste allowance, then divide by about 10 m³ to estimate the number of truck mixers.
Slab
length × width × thickness
12 × 10 m, 20 cm thick = 24 m³
Footing
length × width × depth
2 × 2 × 0.6 m = 2.4 m³
Rectangular column
side A × side B × height
30 × 50 cm, 3 m high = 0.45 m³
Round column
π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × height
40 cm diameter, 3 m high ≈ 0.38 m³
Questions
and answers
Concrete calculator
How do I calculate concrete for a slab?
Multiply length × width × thickness in metres. For example, a 12 × 10 m slab 20 cm thick = 12 × 10 × 0.2 = 24 m³, then add the waste allowance.
Is “batoon” the same as concrete?
Yes — “batoon” is the everyday Jordanian word for concrete. Ready-mix concrete is batched at the plant and delivered to site in truck mixers.
How much waste should I allow?
The calculator starts at 5%; you can raise it to 20% depending on the job and the site.
How many truck mixers will I need?
We estimate about 10 m³ per truck mixer; Alpha’s team confirms the final number for your site and pour.
Is the result final?
It is a first estimate that our technical team reviews before the pour. You can send the volume straight from “Order this volume”.
Set the pour.
We handle the rest.
Send the strength, volume, pour date and site; we’ll confirm price and schedule.
