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.
