Ready Flow is a high-performance self-compacting concrete (SCC) that eliminates the need for mechanical vibration while providing superior flowability, passing ability, and segregation resistance. This innovative mix is designed to spread under its own weight, making it ideal for complex and reinforced structures where conventional vibration methods are challenging.
Key Features:
Exceptional flowability – Fills formwork completely without vibration.
Enhanced passing ability – Flows around congested reinforcement with ease.
Superior segregation resistance – Designed to maintain uniform distribution of aggregates and paste at given flow.
Benefits of Ready Flow
Beyond its obvious advantages in ease of placement and time savings, Ready Flow offers several additional benefits:
Reduced labour & noise – Eliminates the need for vibration, making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
Faster production & placement – Ideal for vertical elements like columns and walls.
Improved durability – Denser microstructure enhances resistance to wear and environmental factors.
Better structural performance – The concrete is more able to handle tightly congested reinforcement zones making it suitable for areas such as stitch joints and shear walls.
Applications
Ready Flow is suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly where access and vibration are challenging:
High-rise buildings – Ensures uniform placement in congested reinforcement zones.
Precast elements – Ideal for producing architectural and structural precast components.
Complex formwork – Fills intricate moulds with ease, reducing voids and defects.
Bridges and tunnels – Enhances durability in demanding infrastructure projects.
Renovation projects – Simplifies concrete placement in restricted or delicate areas.
Technical Specifications
Ready Flow is designed to meet stringent quality standards and performance requirements:
Slump Flow: Typically 550–750mm
Compressive Strength: Customisable based on project needs
Aggregate Size: Optimised for superior flowability – will require structural consideration if your engineer prefers large aggregates.
