What is FND2 / Class 2 concrete?
FND2 / Class 2 is a sulphate-resistant concrete designed for use in ground conditions where sulphates are present in the soil. The “FND” stands for foundation, and “Class 2” refers to the Design Chemical Class, indicating it can resist moderate levels of sulphate attack. The minimum cement content of the mix is 330kg per cubic metre.
When should I use FND2 / Class 2 concrete?
You should use FND2 / Class 2 concrete when laying foundations on sulphate soils or groundwork that includes clay. A soil survey or your building control officer will advise if sulphate-resistant concrete is required for your project.
What is sulphate attack and why does it matter?
Sulphate attack occurs when sulphates in the soil react with certain compounds in standard concrete, causing it to weaken and crack over time. FND2 / Class 2 concrete uses special cement that resists this chemical reaction, protecting your foundations for the long term.
Can FND2 / Class 2 concrete be used for standard foundations?
Yes, but it may not be necessary. If your soil doesn’t contain high sulphate levels, a standard foundation concrete like C25 or C30 may be more cost-effective. We can advise you on the best choice for your specific project.
How do I know if my soil has sulphates?
Your architect, structural engineer, or building control officer can arrange a soil test. They will tell you the Design Chemical Class of your soil, which determines what type of concrete you need.
Can you add fibres to FND2 / Class 2 concrete?
Yes, we can add fibres to the concrete mixture to reinforce it. This can help reduce cracking and improve the overall durability of your foundation.
