Through our parent company HeidelbergCement, we have over 30 years’ experience in developing concrete mixes for tunnelling projects worldwide. In the UK specifically, we have developed technical and product capability that has been proven across numerous projects, including London’s Crossrail.
Our Ketton plant manufactures a unique and stable cement that is used in sprayed concrete tunnel linings. Together with our aggregates and specific admixtures, it produces a final mix that delivers:
Reduced bounce-back
Minimal waste
Time saving
Rapid and successful adhesion
Consistent high quality
Our sprayed concrete can also allow for proportions of micro silica, polypropylene or steel fibres as required by the specification.
Our expertise includes an understanding of in situ testing and performance that helps us to ensure that our mix designs are compliant.
