Building a Large Volumetric Fleet for Public Works and Parks
Since 1978, Bauman Landscape & Construction, Inc. has played a major role in San Francisco’s public works projects. As their business grew, they faced challenges with unreliable concrete deliveries and increasing costs. To solve these issues, Bauman made the switch to Cemen Tech’s C60 volumetric mixers. These mobile units allowed them to produce concrete on-site, saving time and money.
One of the biggest advantages was the ability to use 100% recycled aggregate, which met San Francisco’s strict sustainability requirements. This green approach not only helped reduce costs but also made Bauman more competitive for projects focused on environmental responsibility. “The city loves it,” says Mike Bauman, owner of Bauman Landscape.
The flexibility of the C60 mixer is another key benefit. With multiple mix designs loaded into one truck, Bauman’s team can switch between different concrete types for complex streetscape projects, all without waiting for separate deliveries. This has saved Bauman a great deal of time and improved their efficiency on-site.
Bauman’s transition to volumetric mixers was made easier thanks to Cemen Tech’s hands-on training and support. “We can take someone with no concrete experience and train them to run a C60,” Mike explains. The reliability of the equipment has also minimized downtime, allowing the team to stay on schedule for even the tightest projects.
By making this switch, Bauman Landscape & Construction has gained operational flexibility, reduced costs, and increased their ability to deliver high-quality concrete for public works, parks, and streetscapes across San Francisco.

How Bauman Landscape Solved Concrete Supply Issues
We were the first ones in the city to have a volumetric mixer. Initially, the City of San Francisco was hesitant to approve the use of volumetric mixers, but that changed after they saw the results on a major project. We used the volumetric mixers for about 2,000 to 3,000 yards of concrete on-site. After running tests, the results were phenomenal.
