If there's one thing The L. Suzio York Hill Companies knows, it's concrete. Located in Meriden, CT, they've been supplying concrete to construction projects in south central Connecticut since 1898, and they're one of the area's top suppliers of ready-mix concrete products, crushed stone, and asphalt. Not only are they really good at delivering construction materials, they're great at deciding what's needed for a specific job, and they're big fans of self-consolidating concrete.

Self-consolidating (or self-compacting) concrete is great because it can spread into place and fill formwork by means of its own weight, which pretty much eliminates the need for mechanical vibration. It's great for land development projects with congested reinforcement and/or light manpower, since it cuts down on labor costs by optimizing the project's available workforce. Self-compacting concrete is also ideal for projects that are running on a tight schedule.

Those are just the obvious benefits. There are a lot of other secondary advantages to using self-consolidating concrete. The elimination of vibrator noise and a minimized presence of dump trucks means less neighborhood disturbance. Also, the lack of consolidation means an increase in overall job site safety. Not only is self-consolidating concrete less expensive and more practical for most construction jobs, it's safer for workers, the construction area, and the people around them.
