Specialist concrete from Hills Quarry Products: Engineered for performance and precision
Not all concretes are created equal. Sometimes your project demands more than standard mixes, whether that’s water-tight performance, controlled density, enhanced crack resistance, or flowable solutions for voids and reinstatement.Â
That’s where specialist concretes from Hills Quarry Products come in. Tailored to exact specifications and engineered for performance, these advanced mixes help you get the job done right, every time.
What are specialist concretes?
Specialist concretes are bespoke concrete mixes designed to meet specific performance requirements beyond standard ready-mixed concrete.Â
Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, these mixes are formulated to address challenging site conditions, unique structural demands, or specific technical goals, from preventing water ingress to improving structural durability.
Types of specialist concrete solutions
Hills Quarry Products offer a comprehensive range of specialist concrete solutions to match a wider variety of applications across the civil engineering, construction and agricultural industries to name a few.
Reduced permeability concretes
Reduced permeability concrete, also known as watertight or low-permeability concrete, is a specially designed concrete mix that limits the movement of water and moisture through the concrete structure.
By controlling the pore structure and incorporating chemical admixtures, it provides enhanced resistance to water ingress, aggressive environments, and structural deterioration.
These mixes use advanced admixtures to minimise water penetration, making them ideal for basements, retaining walls, marine structures, and other environments where moisture resistance is critical.
Watertight concrete benefits include:
Foamed concrete
A lightweight, self-levelling and self-compacting solution that’s excellent for:
-
Void filling
-
Trench reinstatement
-
Insulating floor screeds
Because of its low density and excellent flow properties, foamed concrete can reach areas where conventional mixes struggle.
Foamed concrete benefits include:
Fibre-reinforced concretes
Enhanced with either polypropylene fibres or macro fibres, these concretes offer improved crack resistance and durability.
These fibres are batched in the concrete to reduce the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking and plastic settlement, whilst enhancing the surface properties and the durability of the hardened cementitious product.Â
-
Polypropylene fibres help reduce plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking and improve impact resistance.
-
Macro fibres can replace traditional reinforcement in some applications, reducing labour and material costs while enhancing strength and performance.

Fibre-reinforced concrete benefits include:
