Kelly Henry, Ductal Architecture Business Development Manager, describes why Ductal was chosen to build the Pollinators Pavilion, a new type of inhabitation for solitary bees.
LafargeHolcim and Freyssinet present Ductal Inside, the innovative and cost-effective UHPC shotcrete solution. The first applications relate to reinforcement of under roads and motorways. This solution does not reduce the gauge of the structure, increases strength and durability, and preserves hydraulic and ecological connectivity. The application of Ductal Inside is 3 times faster compared to dry shotcrete.
We hosted on November 20 in Brussels the working group: "Decarbonizing the built environment". After the session, Marce Cobuz, Region Head Europe, gave details of our contribution to low-carbon construction. He highlighted that we are on a mission to decarbonize construction and we believe that it can be accelerated!
Thermaflow is our range of low thermal resistivity concretes for use in high-demand electrical facilities such as data centers. Thermaflow is a range of thermally conductive concrete mixes that both conduct and transfer the considerable heat generated by buried electric cables. Our Thermaflow’s performance is pre-tested and third party verified for optimized data center duct bank design.

Holcim Ecuador overcame a series of logistical and sustainability challenges to improve roads on the remote Galápagos Islands. The end result meets the highest environmental standards, benefitting both residents and tourists. The project is the perfect interplay between innovation, performance and sustainability.
Like ports on Mediterranean islands, Athinios is small and struggling to cope with the heavy traffic of Santorini’s thriving tourist industry. The rebuilding project, awarded to construction company Eretvo S.A., must therefore be carried out at different stages to ensure the facility can be operational at all times. To ensure minimal disruption, submerged caisson technology is being used for the new quay, using ready-mix concrete provided by our Greek subsidiary Heracles.
COPave is a lify cycle assessment software specific to roads that helps you improve the carbon footprint of road projects - from pavement design to the selection of raw materials and transport on site.
