HEAVY CONCRETE

Maximum density in less volume

Heavy concrete is manufactured with aggregates with a density of over 3,000 kg/cm2 and it is designed so that its specific weight exceeds 2,800 Kg/m3. The high density of this kind of concrete, provides a heavy weight with little volume and protects radiations. It uses in the structures with require the main characteristic of this concrete, more weight in the same volume: structural counterweight and in areas that need protection against radiations.

Field of application

• Construction of screens against radiation at hospitals, etc.
• Armour in banks.
• Counterweights and anchors.
• Structures with weight as a crucial element.

Benefits

• Its density provides heavy weight in little volume, a counterweight constructions, protections in banks or nuclear plants.
• High protection against radiation.

Application System

• Pumped in areas of difficult access.
• Application process similar to conventional concrete.
• It requires the same vibration, treatment and curing system as the conventional concrete.
