Applying the right Concrete mix for your project is essential for achieving the best results. Subsequently, the Mick George Group supply a comprehensive range of Concrete Applications of varying strengths and grades to ensure the ideal solution for any project, large or small.
Standardised Prescribed Concrete or ST Concrete mixes are a defined list of Concretes within BS 8500 which are made with a prescribed quantity of materials as required in the British Standard. SPCs are fairly basic mixes and have no strength guarantee, although this can be assumed based on the values contained within BS 8500.
