Making Use of Surplus Concrete

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

On completion of a concrete pour there is often a small quantity of concrete left over that often ends up being placed in a skip and eventually crushed to produce fill material.

To make better use of this valuable resource, this contractor has purchased several proprietary steel concrete block moulds.

These moulds produce interlocking concrete blocks from the surplus concrete that will eventually be used to construct low level retaining walls and material storage areas/bins or as kentledge to support Heras style fencing.

The metal moulds are robust and will be able to be used on future projects.
