A Positive Step Forward in Richmond

Presently there are a select group of people, corporations, and government officials that, despite the lack of local regulations for low impact development designs, are genuinely concerned about how to meet a community's ongoing needs for growth while minimizing any negative impact to the surrounding environment and ecosystem. 

SCC has had the pleasure of working together with a local developer, designer, and general contractor that shares our thoughts and concerns and chose to use SCC's Epave pervious concrete to make a difference on their project. 

You too can make a positive difference to your community's environment by specifying or using Epave products.  Low impact development is real, affordable, and necessary process that we hope others will also support with greater urgency now and in the future.

Call SCC today to find out how Epave products can help you and your project deal with stormwater runoff and pollution control that other systems can not.

If you are in a community outside of Canada call us to see how you can purchase and use Hidro 600 in your mix designs to take your pervious concrete to an equal level to that of Epave.

Cementech Volumetric Mixers & Hidro 600

Until now, pervious concrete has been difficult to create using volumetric mixers. The pervious concrete created using these mixers typically contains no additives resulting in a mix that is difficult to handle, has very little working time, reduced permeability, and is often not very strong.

Hidro 600 - The Additive For Pervious Concrete

Using a Cementech volumetric mixer along with the addition of Hidro 600, the additive for pervious concrete, a premium pervious concrete is now easily created which rivals that typically created using ready mix.

Robust Paste Promotes Paste Bridging

This "no panic" pervious was recently demonstrated at the 2013 World of Concrete in Las Vegas where a small pad of Hidro 600 pervious concrete was placed & finished, but left uncovered in the hot dry weather. Though we recommend placing poly over all Hidro 600 pervious concrete to provide the greatest product hydration and resultant strength possible, we believe this clearly demonstrated the fact that there is no panic anymore to cover Hidro 600 pervious concrete.

Fresh Concrete, No Poly, No Indentations!

Yet another resultant of Hidro 600 in pervious concrete is its ability to consolidate quickly and provide high early strength. This characteristic was demonstrated by allowing people to walk on the fresh concrete only minutes after consolidating & finishing the demonstration slab. No indentations were made in the fresh concrete.

1 Day Old Hidro 600 Pervious Concrete

The high early strength characteristic achieved by using Hidro 600 was further proven the following day when a fully loaded Cementech truck drove over the newly created pad from the day before without creating even a single crack.

The Vibrating Fresno - A New Pervious Concrete Tool

With the development of new products such as Hidro 600, often it is necessary to develop new tools and techniques to adapt and make the installation of these products more efficient or effective.

One new tool that has quickly become an integral part of our installation success is a vibrating blue steel fresno. This fresno device is a final finishing tool, which provides both vibration and compaction. This combination has improved our product finish, installation speed, and product performance.


The unit consists of a typical 12" x 48" blue steel fresno, on top of which a vibratory unit (invented by Lura Enterprises) is mounted. 

The vibratory unit is run off of battery power making it extremely manoeuvrable.





With the addition of this single tool you can ensure that your pervious concrete will be some of the flattest and most durable available on the market.
