Offering clients with a complete range of mixes to suit their exact requirements – mixes include:
C8 – For stabilising underground pipework or as a dry backing when installing roadside kerbing, posts or general use where no real strength is required.
C10/C15 – Both used as foundation or footing mixes for non-load bearing walls.
C25 – Footings for domestic dwellings in soft or unstable conditions.
C20 – Slab foundation for houses or bungalows.
C30/C35 – Roadways, access to farms or anywhere large, heavy vehicles require access on a regular basis.
C40/45 – Slurry and silage pits, a strong mix which can withstand the acids and chemicals produced by its contents.
Foamed concrete can be freshly produced and placed at any point of use, at rates up to 1m³/ minute. Foam concrete is cement bonded material manufactured by blending a very fluid cement paste (slurry) and then injecting stable, pre-formed foam into the slurry. The volume of slurry to foam dictates the density of the foam concrete.
The physical characteristics of foam concrete are determined by various mix designs. These may include the use of Portland Cement (CEM1 – 100%) either on its own or in combination with a percentage of pulverised fly ash, limestone dust or sand. Together with a pre-determined volume of entrained air, this slurry becomes fresh foam concrete, which has the appearance of a light grey foam.
The entrained air is produced using protien-based foaming agent, PROVOTON.
Floor screeds are delivered to exact order measurements and delivered on site. All floor screeds are available to order with strengthening fibres and retarding agents giving our customers flexibility to work the screed on site as required.
At ALD Onsite Concrete we take great pride in supplying the very best quality, freshly mixed concrete and screed to a growing number of both commercial and domestic clients.
Our concrete is used for a wide variety of purposes including foundations, bases, structural formwork, utility reinstatement, cavity filling, as well as lean mixes for kerbing and ground works.
