Examples of bespoke concrete requirements

  • High early or ultimate strength
  • Rapid setting or extended working life
  • Underwater or watertight construction
  • High quality surface finish or architectural enhancements
  • Lightweight or Heavy weight (roofing sections / radiation shielding)
  • High rise construction
  • Long and complex pumping distances / Multi stage pumping
  • Shotcrete and tunnel linings
  • Low heat mass placement
  • Flowable fills and foamed concrete

Individual projects may require bespoke concrete that is integral to fulfil different requirements. The bespoke concrete could contain different additives, admixtures, cements and aggregates to fulfill a function such as waterproofing, durability or heat conductivity.

These additives enable concrete to be used in many applications to reduce cost and improve quality.

Sustainable concrete solutions

Heidelberg Materials concrete can incorporate a proportion of Regen, a cement replacement material that generates a much lower level of embodied CO2 emissions than ordinary cement, minimising environmental impact. Recycled aggregates can also be incorporated subject to local availability and mix design.
