07 Assessment
Advantages
- Eliminates need for mechanical vibration
- Superior surface finish quality
- Reduced labour and equipment costs
- Faster construction cycles
- Improved workplace safety (reduced vibration exposure)
- Enhanced durability through denser microstructure
- Reduced noise pollution on site
- Better encapsulation of reinforcement
- Suitable for complex and congested reinforcement
- Reduced risk of honeycombing and voids
Constraints
- Higher initial material cost (20-40% premium)
- Requires skilled mix design and quality control
- Sensitive to variations in moisture content
- Limited placement window in hot weather
- Potential for increased shrinkage
- Higher cement content increases embodied carbon
- Requires specialised testing equipment
- Formwork must withstand higher lateral pressures
- Limited availability in regional areas
- Longer initial setting time
