Conventional
Concrete placed by buggy or crane when pumping is not the method used on site.
Applications
- General building work
Benefits
- Cost and material waste differ from site-mixed concrete.
The list below follows the lines published on the institutional site. The final specification depends on the design, the applicable standard and the plant.
Concrete placed by buggy or crane when pumping is not the method used on site.
A mix designed to travel through the pump line to the placing point.
A highly fluid concrete that fills forms and dense reinforcement with little or no vibration.
Concrete for industrial floors and yards. The institutional page cites a minimum characteristic strength of 30 MPa.
A dry-consistency concrete used in extrusion equipment for curbs and barriers.
Concrete for roads, proportioned around flexural strength and surface wear.
Concrete with mineral additions and special admixtures when the job requires higher strength and durability.
A low water-cement concrete used where water ingress must be limited.
A porous concrete with connected voids that let water pass through.
Pigmented concrete used when color is part of the finish.
Concrete with lightweight aggregate, used when structural weight must be reduced.
Concrete with high-density aggregate, used for shielding and ballast.
Concrete with fibers that help control cracking and toughness.
Concrete sprayed onto a surface, common in retention, tunnels and repairs.
A dry concrete spread and compacted with rollers.
Temperature-controlled concrete, sometimes with ice, for large placements.
A system of cast-in-place slabs with structural macrofibers, described for urban traffic loads.
A fine-concrete line associated, in the published ecosystem, with the GreenMix operation.
