ULTRA-HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE (UHPC)

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) combines the benefits of CCL’s structural design and manufacturing expertise with the exceptional performance of UHPC, providing innovative solutions for a wide range of construction applications.

  • Ultra-thin concrete elements
  • Intricate facade designs
  • Variety of colours and finishes
  • No ordinary concrete reinforcement required
  • High compressive strength

CCL provides an end-to-end service that includes the design, manufacture, supply, and installation of UHPC architectural panels to create strong, durable, ornate facades that can help architects, designers, and engineers achieve their architectural and structural aspirations.

Manufacturing takes place at CCL’s purpose-built factory or at a factory in close proximity to the building site equipped by CCL for this purpose. The finest materials and rigorous production techniques are used to ensure the highest quality standards.

HIGH STRENGTH & DUCTILE

This innovative material achieves compressive strength greater than 130 MPa and exceeds the requirements of NF EN 206/CN:2014.

The ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has a high post-cracking tensile strength and exhibits ductile behaviour under tension. Reinforced with fibers (steel, stainless or organic), UHPC can be used without the addition of ordinary concrete reinforcement.

The high strength and ductility of UHPC means that the most intricate architectural designs are possible. Large openings and ultra-thin concrete elements can be facilitated. UHPC is extremely lightweight and can support its own self-weight, which means minimal fixings are required, and large cantilevers can be achieved.
