Agilia® & Agilia ECO Readymix Concrete

The superior self-compacting concrete designed to achieve excellence in surface finish.

Agilia® is a self-compacting concrete that will flow freely around congested reinforcement without the need for vibration or other energy input. Agilia finishing characteristics and high quality surface finish can eliminate the need to power float concrete on site. The Agilia family of concretes have the same general engineering characteristics, but each category utilises a slightly different mixture design, to ensure the optimum properties for each specific application.

Agilia H (Horizontal) - for floor slabs
Agilia V (Vertical) - for wall applications
Agilia F (Foundation) - for domestic and light industrial foundations
Agilia A (Architect) - for visual and fair face concrete finishes (can be supplied with integral pigmentation, subject to availability)
Agilia H Housing - Structural topping containing steel or polypropylene macro fibres for block and beam flooring

We can also manufacture Agilia as a low carbon concrete, ECO; delivering a carbon saving of 30-50%. What is more you can chose to offset the remaining carbon, making your product carbon neutral.

Product data

Features and Benefits

Product information

Applications

Agilia® is proven¹, to improve your construction processes, with significant savings

Agilia readymix concrete offers huge benefits and cost savings by allowing placement of concrete in difficult situations and complex formwork quickly and using less labour.
Agilia readymix concrete offers enhanced finish characteristics, which can eliminate the requirement for power floating, and can remove the need for screed overlay as flooring can be applied directly
Agilia readymix concrete may be placed by pump, skip or direct discharge. We’re happy to assist with selecting the best method
No bleeding or segregation
Product fluidity reduces the labour required and allows placing into otherwise inaccessible locations, such as congested reinforcement conditions without bridging, blocking or honeycombing
Agilia self-compacting concrete properties eliminate the necessity for vibration during placing, and a removal of traditional compaction and finishing methods gives the environmental benefit of noise reduction on-site
Surface finishes of the highest standard are achievable with minimal effort and virtually no secondary or remedial activities
Floor finish tolerance to BS 8204-1, SR2
Particularly suitable for bridge decks, walls, columns, slabs, trenches, mass pours and precast applications
Beneficial in producing cast architectural features

Placement with Agilia readymix concrete can:

Reduce slab construction time by nearly 75%
Reduce the gang size from four operatives to two
Removal of the power floating operation reduces an aspect of the variability and unpredictability with concrete slab construction
Agilia increases the predictability of construction project time and costs, reducing the risk of unforeseen expenses and delays

Frequently asked questions

Where can I order from?

There are 3 ways to order: Purchase direct from our dedicated online ordering site Concrete2you

Call us on 01530 610098 or alternatively send us an email

Is there a lower carbon version of Agilia?

There is a lower carbon version of Agilia readymix concrete(Agilia ECO) This will provide you with at least a 30% reduction in CO2 when compared to standard CEMI concrete.

how do I use Agilia readymix concrete?

Details are included in our Technical Data Sheet, but if you require more detailed information, please call on 01530 610098

Why is Agilia a high performance concrete?

Agilia® offers huge benefits and cost savings by allowing placement of concrete in difficult situations and complex formwork quickly and using less labour. Agilia® self-compacting properties also eliminate the necessity for vibration during placing, and a removal of traditional compaction and finishing methods gives the environmental benefit of noise reduction on-site

Can Agilia readymix concrete be pumped?

Yes, Agilia readymix concrete can be:

placed by pump, this will need to be ordered separately
skip or direct discharge but you will need to factor in the short drying time and being able to wheel barrow the site.

We’re happy to assist with selecting the best method.

Does Agilia readymix concrete have a good surface finish?

Agilia readymix concrete has the highest standard surface finish and is achievable with minimal effort and virtually no secondary or remedial activities.

How durable is Agilia readymix concrete?

Generally available in strengths C28/35-C40/50. Agilia readymix concrete can also be modified to increase greater strength and we can work with you to meet your specification.
