Specialty Concrete

Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC)

Highly fluid and stable concrete

Self-consolidating concrete is different from regular concrete because it flows into place without the need for mechanical consolidation.

The characteristics that define SCC are:

• Filling ability

• Passing ability

• Stability
  

The use of self-consolidating concrete has the potential to reduce labor costs, shorten the project schedule, and improve the final surface appearance of a concrete element. Master Builders Solutions provides the concrete technology expertise plus the chemical admixture understanding to ensure the performance you need on your next SCC project.

Pervious Concrete

Highly Permeable Concrete

Pervious concrete has the unique ability to allow water to flow through easily, which results in concrete pavements that have no runoff from stormwater or snowmelt. Master Builders Solutions has developed a unique admixture system specifically for achieving maximum performance of pervious concrete.
