Infrastructure

Our Ductal® Infrastructure solution is specifically engineered to fundamentally enhance the performance of new and existing structures.

Superior performances in compressive, tensile and flexural strengths, combined with high abrasion resistance, crack control, and high impermeability makes it perfect for strengthening, waterproofing and protecting structures, extending their service life while reducing maintenance costs.

The material’s high mechanical properties combined with exceptional ductility allows for the construction of lightweight yet enduring prefabricated bridges, strengthening bridge decks and repairing vertical structures that display the best in innovative techniques and durability requirements – along with endless possibilities for improved aesthetics.

The high prefabrication potential of Ductal® accommodates projects at different scales, reducing the size and complexity of structural connections and rebar detailing. This allows for a better exploitation of mechanical resistances, even in the context of existing traditional concrete construction.

Whether cast in place or precast, Ductal®’s flexural and durability advantages offer a great potential to explore for rehabilitation projects, and provide a reliable, durable solution to extend the lifespan of structures such as bridges, piers, girders, and joints.

Its fluid, self-consolidating consistency makes it ideal for casting in congested areas, without the need for vibration. Typical design strength can be reached in a short amount of time.

Its innate strength allows for the creation of thinner structural elements, and just about any new shape or geometry imaginable can be brought to life.

Thanks to this combination of form and function, Ductal® infrastructure satisfies necessary requirements of the technical specifications while providing a cost-efficient solution for projects.

Ductal® ultra-high performance concrete marks a clear departure from conventional and high- strength concretes both in terms of its mechanical properties and behaviour, providing long-term durability and protection even in the most aggressive of environments.
