MPAs, or Megapascals, are the units used to measure the strength and resistance to stress of concrete.
To measure the cubic capacity of anything, you need to measure three of its dimensions, namely: length, breadth, and height. These 3 numbers should then be multiplied by each other to determine the cubic volume of readymix concrete you will need (LENGTH X BREADTH X HEIGHT = M3).
The general/universal formula is LENGTH x WIDTH x DEPTH. You are more that welcome to phone the office for assistance.
