Abstract

The selection of the Concrete Batch Plant (CBP) location is the most essential element for success of a project
and recently most of the companies using the ready mix concrete in many projects especially that is needahigh requirements and specifications because the RMC is more useful and that raise the importance of concretebatch plant (CBP). For that the companies need to take right decision about best site selection for construct aCBP or to choose best location of batch plants to deliver RMC.
This paper presents the most important factors affecting on the decision of site location selection by identifyingthis factor through interviews with experts engineers who works in RMC industry and high qualified workersin CBP by sending the questionnaire to them. To construct an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to helpthecompanies in taking the right decision to choose the best alternative of CBP location.
