After getting several quotes, we chose Omega 2000 to replace our old basement concrete, and we couldn't be happier. The team was professional, kept us well-informed, and left the space spotless. Highly recommend for high-quality work!

We had Omega do a stamped concrete patio for us. Randy was amazing to deal with! He came out to see the space within 24hrs of my contacting the company & I had a quote shortly thereafter. He was extremely patient & accommodating with colour & finishing choices. And was always great at responding to texts/questions. The patio is gorgeous; I am extremely pleased with how it turned out! I would definitely work with Randy again.

Excellent job on the retaining wall. It is sturdy, looks beautiful, and the crew made sure to clean up the workspace perfectly at the end of every single day. Very respectful team.

They poured a new concrete walkway connecting our driveway to the backyard. Straight lines, perfect smooth finish, and absolutely zero hassle working with their project manager.

Our old concrete front steps were crumbling and unsafe. Omega tore them out and poured beautiful new ones in just a couple of days. Very reasonable price for such heavy work!

Brian Taylor
Needed a large, reinforced concrete pad for our new RV. They excavated the area, prepped the base perfectly, and poured it flawlessly. Great group of hard-working guys.

Melissa Brown
We used them for the concrete decking around our new swimming pool. The broom finish is perfect and slip-resistant. They matched the color exactly as promised. Could not be happier.

Honest, reliable, and skilled. It's really hard to find contractors this good nowadays who actually stick to their initial quote. They are now our go-to company for any future concrete work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rapid set concrete?
Rapid set concrete is a fast-setting concrete mix that achieves 28-day strength in just a few hours instead of the typical 28 days. It uses special cement formulations (typically calcium sulfoaluminate or modified portland cement) to dramatically accelerate the hydration and curing process while maintaining or exceeding the durability and strength of regular concrete.
 
How fast does rapid set concrete cure?
Rapid set concrete achieves initial set in 15-45 minutes, becomes walkable in 1-2 hours, can support vehicle traffic in 2-4 hours, and reaches full 28-day equivalent strength in 4-6 hours. The exact timing depends on the specific mix formulation, ambient temperature, and humidity conditions. At Omega Ready Mix, we can adjust the mix to meet your specific timeline requirements.
 
 
Can rapid set concrete be used in cold weather?
Yes, rapid set concrete is excellent for cold weather applications in Calgary. Its fast curing generates significant internal heat (exothermic reaction) that protects against freezing. It can set properly at temperatures as low as -7°C (20°F) without the special heating, blankets, or enclosures required for regular concrete. This makes it ideal for winter construction and emergency repairs.
 
 
Is rapid set concrete as strong as regular concrete?
Yes, rapid set concrete achieves the same or higher ultimate strength as regular concrete — typically 40+ MPa (5,800+ PSI) at 28 days. The difference is that it reaches this strength in hours instead of weeks. It also offers excellent durability, freeze-thaw resistance, and bond strength. Our rapid set mixes are warrantied for quality and performance.
 
 
Why use volumetric trucks for rapid set concrete?
Volumetric trucks are essential for rapid set concrete because they mix the concrete fresh on-site, exactly when you need it. With rapid set’s fast reaction time, pre-mixed concrete from a batch plant could begin setting during transport. Volumetric mixing ensures you get fresh, properly-mixed concrete with the right consistency, and you only pay for exactly what you use.
