SERVICE OVERVIEW
Flow easily and effortlessly
SCC (self-consolidating concrete) is a specialized type of concrete that is highly flowable and non-segregating. Self-consolidating concrete mix is also known as “self-compacting concrete” or “self-leveling concrete.” The main characteristic that sets SCC apart is its ability to flow and spread into the formwork or mold under its weight without the need for mechanical vibration. Get in touch with Speedy Concrete for high-quality self-consolidating concrete in Richmond, Surrey, Delta, Vancouver, Abbotsford, and many other areas of British Columbia.
Key features of self-consolidating concrete include:
- High Flowability: SCC has a high flowability, allowing it to spread and fill intricate formwork and congested reinforcement without needing external energy, such as vibration.
- Non-Segregating: SCC resists segregation, which means that the components of the mix, such as aggregates and cement, do not separate during the pouring and placing process.
- High Performance: High Performance: SCC typically exhibits high durability and strength properties, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including architectural and structural elements.
Other Services
- Improved Workability: The mix design of SCC is carefully balanced to achieve the desired flowability without sacrificing other important concrete properties.
- Reduced Labor and Equipment Costs: Because SCC does not require traditional consolidation methods like vibration, it can lead to reduced labor costs and the elimination of certain equipment.
SCC is commonly used in applications where high-quality surface finishes are required, such as architectural concrete elements and precast products, and in situations where the placement of concrete is challenging due to complex formwork or congested reinforcement. The use of SCC can contribute to increased construction efficiency and improved overall quality of the finished product.
