Get in touch about Watertight Concrete
Breedon Aquatight® is a premium watertight concrete created for projects where moisture control and structural protection are essential.
By combining high-quality ready-mix concrete with cutting-edge waterproofing admixtures, Breedon Aquatight® provides built-in resistance against water penetration, helping safeguard structures from deterioration, corrosion and long-term damage.
Available in all strength classes and various cement types to accommodate the type of structure and exposure class, Breedon Aquatight® is a proven concrete solution for a wide variety of residential, commercial and infrastructure applications.
Breedon Aquatight® is designed to be placed by conventional skip, pump or direct placement methods. Full compaction will be achieved by the correct application of standard vibrating equipment. The use of a curing membrane is required where applicable and curing should begin immediately after the concrete has been placed and finished.
Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) approved mix
Breedon Aquatight® can be available as a Drinking Water Inspectorate approved mix.
Reduced requirement for liners and waterproof membranes
Breedon Aquatight® can be designed to remove the need for additional liners or waterproof membranes, reducing project costs, cutting installation time and minimising ongoing maintenance.
40% reduction in steel costs
Breedon Aquatight® requires less reinforcement on site compared to alternative watertight structure specifications, saving around 40% in steel costs.
Rebar cost reductions
Breedon Aquatight® provides significant rebar cost savings by increasing standard crack width design from 0.2mm with walls at least 300mm thickness to 0.3mm with walls at 200mm.

On site technical support
Watertight concrete, such as Breedon Aquatight®, provides enhanced protection against water penetration compared to standard concrete. Its specialised formulation makes it suitable for structures that require long-term water resistance, such as basements, underground rooms, swimming pools and lift shafts.
By preventing moisture ingress, watertight concrete enhances the durability, reduces maintenance costs and helps to protect buildings from issues like damp, leaks and structural damage.
Yes, Breedon Aquatight® can significantly reduce maintenance and repair costs. Its enhanced resistance to water ingress helps protect structures against moisture-related issues such as corrosion of reinforcement, mould growth and freeze-thaw damage.
By preventing these problems before they develop, Breedon Aquatight supports long-term durability, minimises repairs and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
Yes. Using a watertight concrete, such as Breedon Aquatight®, in below-ground structures is essential to preventing groundwater pressure and seepage and keeping the interior dry.
Watertight concrete helps protect the integrity of the structure and ensures its provides a long-term, durable solution.
Not necessarily, however it is the responsibility of the principal designer to decide whether to include a waterproof membrane (BS-8102:2022 Type A System).
Yes. Breedon Aquatight® is produced to meet EN206 and BS8500, provided the concrete mix design is pre-approved by the watertight admixture supplier, which is standard practice.
Breedon Aquatight® can be used to achieve a BS-8102:2022 Type B (integral waterproof concrete) System.
Our ready-mix concrete is normally delivered in an 8-wheeler mixer truck that typically carries 7.5m3 of concrete and has a gross weight of 32t. For hard-to-access areas or smaller loads our Breedon Minimix service may be suitable.
We also offer a collection service from specific plants. Please contact us for more information and locations.
