Batch ticket (delivery ticket)
A batch ticket is the record that rides with each load of ready-mix concrete: the mix design, the quantity, the materials and water batched, the admixtures, and the time the load was batched and left the plant. It links the concrete going into a member to its approved design. Checked at the truck before placement, it confirms the right mix showed up and starts the clock that governs how long the load can be worked before it is too old to place.

Why it matters
The ticket is where a wrong or expired load gets caught before it goes in the forms. If the mix number does not match the design for that member, or the batch time means the concrete is past its working window, the placement stops at the ticket rather than becoming a low-strength member found in the cylinder breaks weeks later.
It is also the anti-tampering record on water. Adding water at the site to make a stiff load easier to place quietly cuts strength; the ticket documents the batched water and any authorized addition, so the mix that was actually placed is on the record.
How it shows up on site
Each truck's ticket checked against the approved mix and the pour, batch time noted against the working window, any added water recorded, and the tickets kept with the pour's slump, air and cylinder results as the placement record.
