Business Unit Concrete – Global Description

Business Unit Concrete specifically help customers in the ready mix, precast manufactured concrete, infrastructure project, manufactured concrete and underground construction industries.

Formulated to  meet the everincreasing demands for improved efficiency and durability in terms of overallconstruction process and finished concrete strcture.

We develop solution that make future-oriented, top notch quality construction doable, optimize customers process and lower costs. With innovative products we make what was formerly impossible possible. Supplying products and services of guarantreed quality expeditiously anywhere in the world are the key success factors, whics enabled sika achieve above-average growth rates in difficults markets as well as execute a targeted entry into new markets.

Business Unit Concrete - Scope

Business Unit Concrete has a main scope of work to deal with:

1. 1. Ready Mix Concrete

The ready-mix plant facilities from which the concrete is delivered have now become so widespread in many markets that the contractor can be supplied quickly and reliably.

A facility on site still offers economic and logistic advantages on large construction sites where concrete is required continuously.

Water-Reduction Admixtures. With application for :

• Pumped Concrete
• Concrete for Traffic Areas
• Concrete for industrial floor
• Self Compacting Concrete
• Frost&Freeze/Thaw Resist.
• Slipformed Concrete
• Waterproof Concrete
• Fair Faced Concrete
• Fiber Reinforced Concrete
• Mass Concrete
• Underwater Concrete
• High Strength Concrete

Set-Controlling Admixtures. With application for :

• High Early Strength Concrete
• Concrete for Traffic Area
• Concrete for Industrial Floor
• Slipformed Concrete
• Mass Concrete

Durability-Enhancer Admixtures. With application for :

• Concrete for Traffic Areas
• Self Compacting Concrete
• Frost&Freeze/Thaw Resist.
• Waterproof Concrete
• High Strength Concrete
• Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Concrete Essentials. With application for :

• Pumped Concrete
• Self Compacting Concrete
• Fair Faced Concrete
• Fiber Reinforced Concrete
• Underwater Concrete
• Lightweight Concrete
• Slipformed Concrete
• Concrete for industrial floor

1. 2. Precast Concrete

Precast concrete is used to form structures which are delivered after hardening. Long journeys in the fresh concrete state disappear, which changes the whole production sequence. Concrete used for the production of precast structures requires an industrialized production process, and a good concrete mix design with continuous optimization is essential.

Wet Precast

Highest priority for the Precast Industry is speed and quality. Sika Products (Sika ViscoCrete-HE) fulfil all concrete needs in Wet Prefabrication. Wet Precast system Applicated for :

• Tunnel Segements
• High Early Strength Concrete
• Fair Faced Concrete
• Self Compacting Concrete
• Fibre Reinforced Concrete
• High Strengh Concrete

Semi-Dry Precast

Semi-dry concrete is used for the manufacture of small precast concrete products like :

• Concrete paving stones, Kerbs, Flags and Paving Slabs.
• Roof Tiles
• Pavers
• Pipes/Manholes

1. 3. Infrastructure

Sika Product also used for build, repair and protect infrastructure Projects :

• Sprayed Concrete
• Equipment Solutions
• Fire Protection
• Waterproofing System
• Injection System
• Repair and Protection
