GEN1 is an extremely versatile mix used throughout the construction industry for general and housing applications. It is usually used for cavity filling, kerbing, unreinforced domestic foundations in DC-1 soils and haunching. Applications include: un-reinforced strip footings, trench-fill foundations, some agricultural applications, foundations for walls, sheds and conservatories, drainage works, blinding house floors, pad foundations, non-structural mass concrete in non-aggressive (DC-1) ground conditions, cavity fill, mass fill, kerbing, haunching.

Product Description

Note: ready mixed concrete can be supplied and configured in a variety of ways. Your pour and delivery method are selectable below, but specific mix requests should be added to your product notes to include required boom or line length, required wait time, etc. Each method may incur additional costs, advised in the notes within your returned quote offer.

Additionally, the merchant may hold an overage of ~20% on top of the cost per m³ in case of overages or additional requirements at the point of delivery. This charge will then be refunded to you if not required.


Designated concretes have been developed to make the selection of appropriate concrete simpler and more reliable. While they do not cover every application and they restrict or limit the use of certain materials, they are suitable for many housing, agricultural and structural applications.

An essential part of the designated concrete concept is the requirement for the producer to hold an appropriate level of product conformity certification, this requirement has been approved by the BSI Standards Policy and Strategy Committee. It is recognised that in many construction works the user might not have expertise in concrete design or specification, being able to select a product based on its application rather than specifying specific limiting values makes correct selection much easier. Simplifying the ordering process reduces the chance of error and increase the likelihood of achieving the required durability and design life.

It is the user/designers choice as to whether designated concrete is specified, and having elected to specify a designated concrete then all its requirements, including those for third-party product conformity certification, are expected to be met.

The general purpose concrete (GEN) designation is used for a series of concretes that are used for housing, and similar non-structural applications. The requirements specify a minimum quantity of cement (minimum cement content, or MCC) to be included, but no water cement ratio (w/c) as such, they have relatively low levels of durability.
