High Strength Concrete

The definition of high strength concretes is continually developing. In the 1950s 34N was
considered high strength, and in the 1960s compressive strengths of up to 52N were
being used commercially. More recently, compressive strengths approaching 138N have
been used in cast-in-place buildings.
High-strength concrete columns can hold more weight and therefore be made slimmer
than regular strength concrete columns, which allows for more useable space, especially
in the lower floors of buildings.
Your third party accredited supplier of ready mixed concrete will ensure you are provided
with a high strength concrete suitable for your requirements, working to EN206 : BS8500
the European and UK standards for concrete.
