Ashcourt Premium Flow Concrete
Our Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a special type of concrete which can be placed and consolidated under its own weight without any vibration effort, due to its excellent deformability, which at the same time is cohesive enough to be handled without segregation or bleeding. It's able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement.
Ashcourt Premium Flow Concrete is a high-quality concrete product, which is designed, produced, transported, and supplied in accordance with our ISO 9001. accredited quality scheme (QSRMC) and in accordance with the relevant parts of BS8500 Part 2 and BS EN206 Part 1.
