Better Solutions for our customers working on Thames Tideway Tunnel

August 12, 2016
Another Friday was spent last week in the National Technical Centre (NTC) laboratory at Southam showcasing one of our bespoke concrete designs for a high profile contract to our valued customers Vinci and Bachy working on the Thames Tideway Tunnel. The concrete required had very specific technical properties linked to the placing method and rheological properties to limit static segregation. Our customers were impressed with the concrete design and commented on the professionalism of the Team at NTC. Further lab trials are now required to complete the plastic properties tests as well as hardened tests for durability. Thanks to John Shrimpton and Sean ODonnell for carrying out the trial and to Paul Griffin for advice during the preliminary trial work.
