We are happy to offer assistance with choosing the best concrete product, fiber, color, and admixtures for your project. Please provide your contact information and project details through the button below and our Sales department will contact you with recommendations.
STANDARD READY MIX
Standard ready mix concrete is a popular choice for many projects due to its versatility. Because of its ability to be delivered in a plastic state, it can be placed by pumping, conveyor, buggie or chute, minimizing the impact of delivery to a project. It can also be formed into any shape at strengths up to 14,000 psi.
POPULAR APPLICATIONS
Cast-in-place for building elements
Sidewalks
Airport runways
Flowable Fill
Bridges
Parking Lots
MASS DOT-APPROVED
Mass DOT has standards and specifications that focus on long-term durability and differ from the standards of other agencies. This concrete mix’s low permeability helps minimize the impact of the freeze-thaw cycles in a saturated condition combined with heavy salt use during New England winters.
POPULAR APPLICATIONS
Bridges
Decks
Sidewalks
Intersections
FLOWABLE FILL
Flowable fill concrete has a very loose consistency and resembles well-compacted soil. It is much weaker than most concrete mixes, as it is often required to be excavatable. Because of this, it is often less expensive than conventional concrete.
POPULAR APPLICATIONS
Pre-trench for slurry wall applications
Filling abandoned pipes and tanks
Used as backfill where soil compaction is impractical
GROUT & SHOTCRETE
Shotcrete (also called gunite or sprayed concrete) is typically projected onto a surface pneumatically via hose to nozzle to achieve high surface strength. Shotcrete usually contains some stone and has low permeability. Grout, which rarely contains stone, is usually pumped and placed via small diameter pump hose.
POPULAR APPLICATIONS
Masonry block fill
Landscaping
Repair jobs
Pump prime
Annular Fill
LIGHTWEIGHT
Lightweight concrete is approximately ¾ the weight of normal concrete in any given volume, due to the coarse aggregate being comprised of expanded shale or similar material. Lightweight concrete is appropriate for projects where weight and/or fire rating is of importance.
POPULAR APPLICATIONS
Elevated floors in schools and hospitals
Ballast applications in bridges
Building elements
HEAVYWEIGHT
As the name implies, heavyweight concrete is a heavier weight than normal concrete. It is used in projects that require radiation shielding and ballast applications.
POPULAR APPLICATIONS
