SureFlow™ is a self-consolidating, ready-mixed concrete that flows under its own weight to fill forms without vibration. Available in architectural, vertical, and horizontal variants, it enhances design flexibility and exposed-concrete aesthetics while reducing installation time.
SureFlow™ passes freely through narrow openings and congested reinforcement, achieving 100% consolidation even in thin-walled, highly reinforced elements without mechanical vibration.
Eliminates vibration needs, reduces equipment use, and increases productivity for faster project completion.
Produces smoother finishes and better visual appeal on exposed concrete surfaces.
Enables complex geometries and orientations impossible with conventional mixes, maintaining proper water/cement ratios for higher strengths.
Our CBM Concrete Solutions product line covers a wide range of project needs – from self-consolidating and high-workability flatwork mixes to fibre-reinforced, accelerated strength, extended workability, and durability-focused formulations. All mixes are performance-based and CSA-compliant. Our technical team can also develop custom mix designs for projects with specific structural or environmental requirements.
We work directly with engineers and contractors before the first truck arrives – reviewing exposure class, strength development, pumping distances, and workability windows to build a concrete program around your project, not around a standard product. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and 141 Bay are examples of that process at work.
Yes. Every customer has access to the same ready mix concrete solutions and quality-controlled mixes that go into our largest builds. Get in touch with your local CBM representative to discuss your requirements.
CBM is proud to be part of Votorantim Cimentos, one of the largest building materials companies in the world. Our VC Way is the operating philosophy that runs across the entire Votorantim Cimentos family – and it shapes how our teams work every day. For our customers, that means decisions made close to the job, clear communication from order to delivery, and accountability that does not stop once the truck leaves the plant. The work we did at Ripley’s Aquarium, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and other countless projects reflects exactly that – sustained technical collaboration, dependable execution, and a standard of care that holds across the full life of a project.
SureFlow™ is proportioned differently for each application type to balance flowability, viscosity, and segregation resistance. Architectural mixes are optimized for surface quality and are rated up to ASCC Surface Level P1, while vertical and horizontal variants are tuned for passing ability, form pressure, and finishing behavior in walls, columns, and flatwork, respectively.
SureFlow™ should be evaluated using SCC-specific field tests such as slump flow, visual stability index (VSI), and, where required, J-ring or L-box to confirm passing ability and stability. These tests, used alongside standard strength and air content checks, help ensure the mix maintains high flow without segregation and meets CSA A23.1/.2 performance criteria for self-consolidating concrete.
Because SureFlow™ flows under its own weight and can generate higher lateral form pressures than conventional concrete, formwork should be designed for SCC pressure where tall lifts or rapid placements are anticipated. Placement procedures typically eliminate internal vibration, but controlled use of minimal external vibration may be employed where specific finishes are required, taking care to avoid over-vibration and segregation.
