Features
Sustainability - Mixes within the CarbonCAP range have lower levels of embodied carbon on account of their use of supplementary cementitious materials in whole or part substitution for Portland Cement
Independently verifed - An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for all mixes within the range. This details the LCA (Life Cycle Analysis) showing the carbon intensity of each mix to be used in the project, independently verifed by a third party.
CarbonCAP can be delivered by truck and can be placed by chute and pump like traditional concrete.
CarbonCAP is supplied by Capital Concrete from batching plants which are all third party accredited by QSRMC.

Applications
The CarbonCAP range can be utilised in all applications where traditional concrete is used. For example slabs, walls, columns, footings traditional slip form paving including machine paving, deck units and tunnel segments in major infrastructure projects.
All CarbonCAP mixes are designed to ensure there is no compromise on performance, using latest mix design technology to ensure specifcation is met and suitable for end use.

Case Studies
Sustainable Concrete For Deep Raft Pour Modebest Wood Wharf G10
The raft slab with a depth of 3.725m has been supplied with 1200m3 of 70% GGBS blend C40, which falls within our CarbonCAP ultra range.
Jack Sindhu, Technical Manager at Capital Concrete, stated: “The concrete mix was developed with a low binder content pumpable mix with low -thermal coefficient aggregate and to achieve a low heat of hydration. The Peak temperature recorded was 51°C with a temperature differential of
21°C."

Supplies To Skanska Costain Strabag Joint Venture
HS2’s ‘Central Section’ in London is being solely supplied by Capital Concrete. Capital Concrete have already supplied a substantial amount of material to enabling works for the Central Section, including 952m3 of high GGBS blend concrete in a single pour carried out over the busy pre-Christmas period in December 2021, which involved over 100 truck deliveries in a single shift.
Jack Sindhu, Technical Manager at Capital Concrete, explains how the specialist properties of the mix itself can benefit the project: “The use of a high GGBS blend levels in mixes reduces the likelihood of any thermal cracking in the concrete and provides a low embodied carbon and sustainable concrete,” says Jack. “The inclusion of limestone coarse aggregate is also beneficial, for thicker sections cast as it provides a lower thermal conductivity.”

Capital Concrete Supplies Record Breaking Earth Friendly Concrete Pour For Permanent Works
Capital Concrete has supplied the largest ever continuous pour of their cement-free Earth Friendly Concrete, to the London Power Tunnels Project.
736m3 of Earth Friendly Concrete (EFC) has been used to fill the base of a 55m deep tunnel drive shaft at the National Grid’s Hurst substation in South London. The pour supplied to contractor Hochtief-Murphy joint venture (HMJV) took place in April and is the first time EFC has been used in large scale permanent construction.
