Balfour Beatty VINCI JV
We are thrilled to announce our ground-breaking partnership with LMS Highways to unveil our new rapid-set, low-carbon concrete mix: Highways FC Cement. After years of development and rigorous testing, this innovative product is set to redefine efficiency and sustainability in the highway industry.
Used most recently on our successful M271 and M20 projects, this new concrete mix represents a major advancement in construction materials, offering an unparalleled combination of speed, strength, and low-carbon. Designed with efficiency in mind, the mix enables the installation of up to six full bays per night, dramatically reducing project timelines while minimising disruption to road users.
Award-Winning!
Highways FC Cement has recently taken home the Innovation Award from the RSTA Awards 2025 and is nominated for several innovation awards to be announced: including Construction News Awards 2025 in the Best Product Innovation category.
Already making impact, Highways FC Cement has been successfully used in two major highway projects, showcasing its reliability and effectiveness. These projects highlight the materials ability to perform under demanding time constraints, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
In line with our PAS2080 commitments to reduce carbon and meet National Highways goals to be net zero for maintenance & construction by 2040. This concrete mix helps reduce overall project carbon by reducing time, equipment and people on site.
