Ductal® Archistructure & Envelope Solution

Tackle both structural and aesthetic challenges with this high-performance, self-compacting technology — combining exceptional mechanical capabilities with limitless design possibilities.

For over 25 years, Ductal® has been combining the efficiency of steel with the versatility of concrete to help you bring your boldest ideas to life.

Meet your project’s specific structural needs, or push the envelope on how thin you can: don’t let the limitations of engineering get in the way of your boldest architectural inspiration.

Bring your ideas to life with high performance facade, roofing and envelope systems. Like main or secondary skins, they bend and adapt to the most complex shapes and aesthetic requirements while providing energy-effective, durable and high-impact resistance (5 times longer life cycle than traditional concrete).

Applications

• Stainless steel fibers make Ductal® as light as it is durable.
  
• Ductile and tensile strengths, load capacity, leak proofing or impact resistance.
• Improved energy efficiency (heat and solar control).
• Extended life cycle of up to a possible 100-year service life.
• Lowering the material’s overall carbon footprint.

• Renovation and retrofitting of building structures.
  
• Lightweight roofs, watertight roofing.
• Load-bearing building structures and building elements.
• Lightweight, ultra-thin floors and floor protection and reinforcement solutions, including overlays in building structures Structural sealing and grouting applications in the context of pre-fabricated building systems.

• Tailor-made precast facades.
• Large-scale standardized panels.
• “Brise Soleil” and perforated facades.
• Prefabricated unitized facade systems.
• Urban furniture.

• Ductal® can achieve the same performance using less material.
  
• Creation of optimized self-supporting structural elements.
• Simplification and purity of structural design while significantly reducing brackets, substructures, additional waterproofing, and superfluous fixing points.
  
• Reduces maintenance, risk, on-site trades and allows global optimization on the construction site.

HYLO Tower - London

Using brick-faced UHPC precast panels on this renovation and extension project led tosignificanlty reduce the weightand the carbon footprint of thefacade.

2023 PCI Design award, by Horden Cherry Lee Architects.

This unique and iconic tower designed by Zaha Hadid Architects is one of the largest UHPC projects in the world. Ductal® Archistructure solution offers an aesthetic and durable structure with a height of 170 meters. Moreover, the Blast+ technology enables the panels to strongly shield the building.

Central Bank of Iraq

Yuhang Opera House is a 70000M2 performance venue. Structures are clad in a graphic façade pattern that references ice cracking on the frozen lake. Ductal® Envelope solution was casted into triangle shape panel, with smooth finishing. Designed by Henning Larsen.

Yuhang Opera House

Designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the KAFD Metro Station is composed of 6500 Ductal ® façade panels to reduce solar gain while its geometric perforations contextualize the station within its cultural environment.

The overall composition resembles patterns generated by desert winds in sand dunes, where multiple frequencies and repetition generate complex natural formations.
