Concrete Strength

Measured in MPa (megapascals) concrete is capable of achieving variable strength depending on the desired application ranging from general groundwork and residential applications (20-25MPa) to commercial grade which typically requires a stronger concrete mix (32MPa+).

For more information of what concrete best suits your project, please see below.
