Leiths

One of the trials undertaken was with white cement which is used for architectural purposes due to the attractive finish. It is predominantly used for cast stone and architectural precast concrete and paving slabs. Concrete was batched at our Lochhills Concrete Plant using an imported white cement along with our Parkmore limestone aggregate which produced an exceptional architectural concrete.

Leiths undertook further trials for the beach redevelopment works, producing a black pigmented concrete and a stone buff coloured concrete with rounded pebbles. The stone buff concrete was a trial for a rock pool playing surface and a retarder was applied to the surface of the concrete to provide an exposed pebble aggregate surface finish. WM Donald was keen to work with Leiths who were more than happy to undertake the trials for this prestigious project. Leiths are excited to see this aesthetically pleasing coloured concrete become a reality so that this can be enjoyed for many years to come by the people of Aberdeen and beyond.

Once complete the Beachfront will include exciting new play and events facilities, focusing on enhancing footpaths and cycleways, creating an environment which is designed for people rather than vehicles, supporting greater levels of activity and engagement within the area.
