Preblended concrete
Ready-mix concrete has in recent years become increasingly sophisticated. Tailored to specific construction applications, the concrete mixes can be made to display various high-performance characteristics. Read More
Low-shrink concrete has enhanced flexural strength, and solves the problem of shrinkage cracks in floor slabs. It makes use of controlled expansion to compensate for drying shrinkage and reduce internal stresses.
Self-compacting concrete is one of the most commonly used concrete types. Needing no vibration, it is useful for hard-to-access areas and flows freely around intricate formwork and reinforcing structures.
Rapid-setting concrete enables fast access and high early strength, saving time on site.
Specialist preblended concrete formulations can also be waterproof, coloured, foamed, fibre-reinforced, and resistant to heat, abrasion or chemicals.
Concrete admixtures can be added to conventional concrete to render it waterproof, workable and corrosion resistant, or can be used for concrete repair purposes.
