Foundation Concrete

Foundation concrete is designed concrete mix that has increased workability. The workability of a concrete mix is closely aligned to the requirements necessary to place the concrete. The workability should always be kept to the minimum necessary to place the concrete. Our Foundation mix is specifically designed to make the placing of concrete easier and faster in foundations without the need to add water on site. Therefore substantial cost savings on labour and equipment. Hanly Quarries Foundation Concrete is designed give to be and is compliant with I.S. EN 206:2013 – Concrete: Specification, performance, production and conformity.
