Building a Wall of the Future: How Carmix 3500TC Is Changing the Game on a Massive Dallas Jobsite

The Challenge and the Solution

In the world of site work, few elements say “built to last” like a solid retaining wall. In Dallas, TX, a top-tier construction crew is rolling out a two-mile-long retaining wall that’s turning heads — and setting new standards. To get it done right and stay on schedule, they’ve brought in the Carmix 3500TC, a self-loading concrete mixer that’s quickly becoming a jobsite favorite.

The Project: Two Miles of Tough Work

This isn’t just another block wall — it’s a long-haul, high-volume project with structural and visual impact. It’ll hold back earth, channel drainage, and provide slope stability for years to come. With that kind of responsibility, quality control is non-negotiable, and so is having consistent access to a reliable mortar mix, batch after batch.

Why Carmix 3500TC?

Carmix is built for jobs like this — where mobility, precision, and independence make the difference. When the crew needed a way to mix on demand, right at the pour, without waiting on ready-mix trucks or remote batch plants, Carmix was the no-brainer choice.

What Is a Carmix — and Why Does It Matter?

For those unfamiliar, the Carmix 3500TC isn’t your typical concrete rig. It’s a one-man batching plant on wheels — designed to scoop, weigh, mix, and pour concrete or mortar where and when you need it.

Here’s how it gets the job done:

• Front Loader Bucket – The operator loads sand and gravel straight from the pile — no extra loader needed.
  
• Cement Feed – Cement gets dropped in from a vertical silo, saving space and speeding up loading.
  
• Water Onboard – The built-in tank and pump system handle dosing with no external hookup.
  
• Load Cell Accuracy – With electronic weighing sensors, every ingredient is precisely dosed. No guessing, no eyeballing — just repeatable, spec-grade mixes.
  
• Drum Mixing – Once ingredients are loaded, the rotating drum does its thing, turning out a homogenous mix in minutes.
  
• Ready to Roll – From there, the operator drives to the pour and dumps it right where it needs to go.
  

That’s full-cycle mixing — no lineups at the plant, no downtime waiting for trucks, and no compromise on quality.

On-Site Advantages That Make a Real Difference

High-Volume Output
– Up to 5.2 cubic yards per batch means fewer cycles, faster progress.
– Ideal for steady pour schedules and remote pours.

Load Cell Precision
– Digital scales track each material by weight.
– Delivers mix designs that actually hit target specs, not ballpark estimates.

All-Terrain Mobility
– Built tough to handle soft ground, inclines, and tight spaces.
– Keeps production going when other rigs get stuck or sidelined.

One Operator, One Machine
– No batch plant crew. No waiting.
– The operator controls the whole process from the cab. It’s plug-and-play for pros.

Specs That Matter
– Drum capacity: ~6 cubic yards
– Engine: 4-cylinder Perkins diesel, Tier 4 Final
– Max travel speed: 15.5 mph
– Water tank: ~160 gallons
– Built-in Concrete-Mate for mix tracking and printable batch reports

Saving Time, Cutting Waste, Getting It Right

Let’s face it — remote batching often means waiting, over-ordering, and dealing with slumps or set times that don’t match your workflow. Carmix flips the script: mix what you need, when you need it, and keep your crew moving.

For this Dallas wall project, Carmix brought serious efficiency to the table:
– No wasted trips from the batch plant
– No excess water to “stretch” a batch
– No last-minute panic if a pour gets delayed

It’s not just convenient — it’s tight field control, better cost management, and fewer headaches.

This Isn’t Just a Wall — It’s a Statement

With Carmix 3500TC on site, this job isn’t just about pouring mortar — it’s about doing things smarter. Fewer moving parts. More control. Less waste. Every mix is tracked, every load dialed in.

And for a wall that’ll stand for decades, that’s the kind of confidence you want in your mix process.
