Quick Set Concrete<br />
(QC10)<br />
QC10, part of the BBA/ HAPAS Approved<br />
Ironwork Reinstatement System, is a rapid<br />
strength concrete. When used as a backfill<br />
concrete QC10 provides excellent lateral<br />
stability to the cover and frame significantly<br />
improving durability of the installation. QC10<br />
is a two-part pack containing special<br />
cements and graded aggregates. It only<br />
requires the addition of water to form a high<br />
strength concrete.<br />
Where to use?<br />
• Backfill of carriageway ironworks<br />
• Deep section repairs<br />
• Rapid post, sign, fence or barrier installation<br />
Preparation<br />
Good concrete practice should always be<br />
observed, to enable the mix to be placed into<br />
position within 4 minutes. Remove all loose<br />
debris, oil and grease and any other<br />
contaminants and work on a sound substrate,<br />
pre-wet area with water.<br />
Mixing<br />
QC10 should be mixed by forced action mixer<br />
or by vigorous hand mixing with appropriate<br />
tool. Mix the inner bag containing the cement<br />
with the sand/aggregate. Add between 1-2 litres<br />
of water and mix thoroughly. A stiff consistent<br />
mix should be achieved. It is essential that this<br />
product is not over watered, add a small<br />
amount of water and mix gradually until a stiff<br />
concrete consistency is achieved.<br />
Application<br />
Apply material over pre-wetted area with a float<br />
and within 4 minutes of mixing to 40mm below<br />
the required surface fill level-compact ensuring<br />
no voids are evident.<br />

Store in a dry place at temperatures between<br />
5-30˚C.<br />
Shelf life in correct conditions for sealed bags<br />
is 6 months.<br />
