Make concrete pouring quicker and more convenien

To ensure your concrete mix can reach the desired strength and durability, it might need to be vibrated. This process, known as compaction, will remove any air pockets that might be affecting the density of the mix, resulting in a denser and more uniform batch of concrete.

However, there are some scenarios where this might not be possible. Perhaps your site has limited access where it’s not possible to manoeuvre the concrete vibrating equipment? Or maybe your work is subject to strict noise regulations? If this is the case, you need self-compacting concrete (SCC) from Kettle and Black.

By carefully balancing the mixture and incorporating certain admixtures, we can create free-flowing self-compacting concrete that is highly workable and can fill even the most complex formwork. As a BSI-accredited company, we only use high-quality raw materials in all of our SCC products to ensure a flawless finish.

There are numerous advantages to using an SCC concrete mix: it’s faster, there’s less disturbance and you’re subject to reduced costs on equipment and labour. SCC concrete is also much easier to pump across a site, and we also offer concrete line pump and boom pump hire to help with this.
