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
- Agilia ECO - We can also manufacture Agilia as a low carbon concrete, ECO; delivering a carbon saving of 30-50%.

BENEFITS
AGILIA CONCRETE IN ACTION
Why use agilia?
Agilia® offers huge benefits and cost savings by allowing placement of concrete in difficult situations and complex formwork quickly and using less labour.
- Agilia® 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® 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 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
SPECIFICATION
- Available in strength classes from: C28/35-C40/50*
- Compressive strength at 28 days: < 0.055µm/m
- Minimum thickness, flooring applications: >35MPa
- Consistence class: 5mm Dependent on application** (default SF2)
- Maintenance of fluidity: ≤2 hrs
* If a greater strength is required Aggregate Industries will work to customer specification. Other grades are available.
*Will be discussed and agreed prior to supply.
- We can also manufacture Agilia as a low carbon concrete, ECO; delivering a carbon saving of 30-50%.
- Agilia® can be laid over any stable substrate or cast into any type of formwork designed for the full hydrostatic head.
Placement with Agilia® 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
FIBRE SOLUTIONS FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF STEEL MESH IN FLAT SLABS
Agilia® can be combined with various fibre technologies to facilitate the removal of crack control mesh in slab construction. The fibres are distributed evenly within the Agilia® concrete and the material is placed and finished in the usual Agilia® methodology. Depending on the volume and type of steel mesh initially specified, either macro-synthetic or steel fibres can be added to offer a cost effective alternative to traditional crack control mesh.
This dispenses with the need to procure traditional mesh, to take delivery of it and store it on-site, before finally cutting and placing it in the slab. Agilia® with macro or steel fibres provide financial, logistical and health and safety benefits. A design service is also available on request; please contact your Aggregate Industries representative for further details.

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.
Yes, surface finishes of the highest standard are achievable with minimal effort and virtually no secondary or remedial activities.
Agilia is generally available in strengths C28/35-C40/50 but if a greater strength is required we will work with you to meet your specification.
