In general terms, foamed concrete can be described as a lightweight, free flowing material which is ideal for a wide range of applications. It can have a range of dry densities and a range of compressive strengths.
Foamed Concrete can be placed easily, by pumping if necessary, and does not require compaction, vibrating or levelling. It has excellent resistance to water and frost, and provides a high level of both sound and thermal insulation
Shotcrete, also called (trademark) Gunite, concrete applied by spraying. Shotcrete is a mixture of aggregate and cement, conveyed by compressed air to the nozzle of a spray gun, where water is added. The wet mixture is then sprayed in place and may be carved or troweled almost immediately
Porous concrete is concrete that is designed to trap water and allow it to percolate through to the ground below. There are a number of advantages to this type of construction, which have caused it to become a popular option for things like sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots
Architectural concrete is concrete that will be permanently exposed to view and therefore requires special care in selection of the concrete materials, forming, placing, and finishing to obtain the desired architectural appearance
Colored concrete provides a permanent, alternative to decorative surface coatings and brings color and texture to a wide range of structures – from driveways, footpaths, patios, paths, flooring and facades to car parks and shops
Self-leveling concrete has polymer-modified cement that has high flow characteristics and, in contrast to traditional concrete, does not require the addition of excessive amounts of water for placement. Self-leveling concrete is typically used to create a flat and smooth surface with a compressive strength similar to or higher than that of traditional concrete prior to installing interior floor coverings.
Ultra High Performance Concrete(UHPC) is a new class of concrete that has been developed in recent decades for its exceptional properties of strength and durability. This high performance concrete can be utilized in structural rehabilitation and accelerated bridge construction in addition to several other applications
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, and which at the same time is cohesive enough to be handled without segregation or bleeding.
