Firth Self Compacting Concrete (SCC)

Firth

Firth Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that flows into place under its own weight. It does not require mechanical compaction - and thus saves time, labour, equipment requirements and formwork damage.

  • a highly deformable but viscous concrete
  • ideal for congested steel or difficult formwork shapes, or where access is difficult
  • correctly proportioned, SCC will flow up to 10 metres on a minimal slope
  • reduces time, labour and noise (with no compaction required)
  • provides an excellent finish
  • manufactured on a project by project basis

Implementing sustainable practices throughout the manufacturing process is only the beginning of the contribution Firth makes to long-term sustainable building. Firth recognises that the integration of sustainability goals into business operations is key to the longevity of the concrete industry and its impact on the ecological, social and economic environment. Firth’s sustainability framework encompasses pillars centred on carbon reduction, water conservation, the circular economy, supply chain efficiency and social sustainability.

Firth are in a very strong position to assist the construction industry in economically reducing its carbon footprint and achieving its sustainability goals. As part of these initiatives, Firth has launched the EC³ - Embodied Carbon Concrete Calculator which has been developed with thinkstep-anz and verified by start2see. The EC³ calculator allows Firth to calculate the carbon footprint of any Firth concrete mix (cradle to gate). View our EPD in the downloads section below.
