Normal Class Concrete

A type of concrete that meets the standard performance requirements as outlined in the Australian Standard AS 1379 Ready-Mix concrete for general construction use.
It is defined by its mix proportions and strength characteristics, which are suitable for a wide range of general-purpose applications.

Special Class Concrete

Designed and specified to meet more stringent performance requirements compared to ‘Normal Class’ concrete. Tailored for applications that demand enhanced properties such as higher strength, durability, or resistance to environmental conditions. The exact characteristics of Special Class Concrete are covered by Australian Standard AS 3600: Concrete Structures and vary based on the requirements of the project.

Lower Carbon Concrete – Futurecrete®

Futurecrete® is Hy-Tec’s lower carbon concrete reducing embodied carbon by a minimum of 30%*. Futurecrete® uses supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to reduce the embodied carbon of concrete.

Further carbon reductions are achieved by using EvoCem™ (lower carbon cement), and reclaimed aggregates.

Decorative Concrete

Designed and finished to enhance aesthetic appeal, decorative concrete is often used in architectural, landscaping and design applications to create visual appeal. Combining functional strength with artistic design – colour, exposed aggregates and finishes, such as polishing are common approaches to achieving customised decorative finishes.
