For slabs, paths, driveways1. First calculate the area:

Area square metres(m2) = length x width (metres)2. Then use the following table:

Yellow area: When using premixed bagged concrete as a guide 1 cubic metre (m3) requires 108 x 20kg bags

Blue area: 1 cubic metre (m3) of concrete contains roughly 2.5 tonnes of raw material. Non-trades customers with jobs that fall into the shaded area might wish to consider ordering premixed concrete from a ready-mixed supplier.

Post CalculationsStep 1. Calculate entire hole volume.Formula: TT r2 h = 3.14 x (0.15m x 0.15m) x 0.5m = 3.14 x 0.022 5 x 0.5 Volume = 0.0353m3

Step 2. Calculate Post AreaFormula: TT r2 h = 3.14 x (0.075 x 0.075) x 0.5m = 3.14 x 0.00563 x 0.5 Volume = 0.00884m3

Step 3. = Volume Step 1 – Volume Step 2 = 0.353m3 – 0.0088m3

= 0.02646m3

Step 4. = Multiply by number of 20 kg bags per m3 (108 bags)

= 0.02646m3 x 108 Therefore = 2.86 bags of 20 kg

Product GuideSAFETy ADVICE

Skin/Eye Irritation• Freshly mixed concrete, mortar,

grout and slurry may cause skin irritation including alkaline burning and dermatitis.

• Avoid contact with skin by wearing recommended clothing and PVC gloves.

• In the event of contact, wash skin immediately with clean water to help minimise possible irritation.

• If any material gets into the eyes, wash immediately and repeatedly with eyewash solution or clear water.

• If irritation persists seek medical attention.

Respiratory Irritation• Material may contain a quantity of

crystalline silica and recommended respiratory equipment should be used when handling.

• When cutting or abrading concrete keep it wetted with water to avoid creation of hazardous dust. Always wear recommended protective clothing and use respiratory equipment.

Manual Handling• Manual handling of bags without

proper training may result in personal injury.

• Wherever possible you should use mechanical aids or share the load with another person.
