Although the SCC as a material will cost slightly more than conventional concrete, significant costs savings can be realised through the whole concreting process including giving consideration to SCC at the detailed design stage of a project.
Such benefits can be summarised as follows:

• Reduced construction time and labour costs.

• Reduced man power for placing and compacting

• Lower equipment costs and less noise since vibrators are not required.

• Improved Health & Safety  in the workplace environment through the elimination of vibrating equipment and associated health and safety risks. Reduced noise levels, reduced trip and fall hazards, less manual handling.
