Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world and has been in use from as long ago as 7000 BC. It is composed of cement, crushed rock or gravel, sand and water, often with chemical admixtures and other materials.

Concrete is one of the most versatile, durable and cost effective building materials known to man. It is also environmentally sustainable responsible for 2.6% of UK CO2 emissions in 2002. This compares with 33% of total CO2 emissions from transport and 47% from buildings in use. Through concrete’s excellent thermal mass energy consumption in commercial and residential buildings can be reduced by up to 50% which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Concrete is completely non-combustible and has a slow rate of heat transfer, making it a highly effective barrier to the spread of fire.
