The 4 pillars of Ductal® concrete

Excellence

  • 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.

Performance

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

Archistructure Applications

  • 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.
  • Structural sealing and grouting applications in pre-fabricated building systems.

Envelope Applications

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

Project examples

HYLO Tower - London

HYLO Tower — London

Using brick-faced UHPC precast panels on this renovation and extension project led to significantly reduce the weight and the carbon footprint of the facade. 2023 PCI Design Award, by Horden Cherry Lee Architects.

Central Bank of Iraq

Central Bank of Iraq

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.

Yuhang Opera House

Yuhang Opera House

Yuhang Opera House is a 70,000 m² performance venue. Structures are clad in a graphic facade pattern that references ice cracking on the frozen lake. Ductal® Envelope solution was cast into triangle-shaped panels with smooth finishing. Designed by Henning Larsen.

KAFD Metro Station

KAFD Metro Station — Saudi Arabia

Designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the KAFD Metro Station is composed of 6,500 Ductal® facade 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.
