Normal Mix
Modern concrete mix designs can be complex. The design of a concrete, or the way the weights of the components of a concrete is determined, is specified by the requirements of the project and the various local building codes and regulations.
DURABILITY
The design begins by determining the “durability” requirements of the concrete.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
These requirements take into consideration the weather conditions that the concrete will be exposed to in service, and the required design strength.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
The compressive strength of concrete is determined by taking standard-cured cubes samples. We offer compressive strengths that range from 10 MPa and 50 MPa which can be specified when ordering. Standard Mix is manufactured with a slump of between 75 and 100mm.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
Special requests for mixes incorporating special additives can be designed and supplied provided enough of a lead time is given. We refer to such materials as silica fume, bentonite, fibers, polystyrene, grog aggregate, (refractory concrete) etc.
Pump Mix
Pumping allows for the uniform placement of concrete into areas not easily accessible by other means. It is advisable to use pump mix in concrete columns or in similar confined spaces to achieve better flow, compaction and finishing. The same compressive strengths are achieved as with normal concrete due to specific design for pumping. Pump Mix is manufactured with a slump of between 100 and 120mm
Screeds
This product for general floor leveling under ceramic floor tiles is easy to place and finish, and is ideal for domestic use.
No Fines
This type of concrete contains no sand. The characteristics of No Fines concrete makes it ideal for use as a stable sub-surface drainage layer. It can also serve as an insulating or damp-proofing layer. Compressive strength rangers between 4 and 10 MPa at 28 days.
Wet Mortar
Mortar product is prepared in a ready-mix plant and delivered ready to use, without the need for additional raw materials or water.
SABS 0164 compliant
You will receive the finest quality mortar that has been batched and formulated according to the latest national standards. Our Class I and II Readymix mortar complies with SABS 0164.
