Ports are places to be loaded and unloaded permanently around the clock. These are general cargo, bulk goods and liquids.
UHPC concretes can be used for civil constructions and ground or road constructions. The big advantage of UHPC concretes besides the
extremely high strength values and the wear protection is the absolute
sea water resistance and a very high corrosion resistance.
These combinations of UHPC material properties is ideal for the material requirements in a harbor.
New construction and rehabilitation areas in a sea port- Jetties
- Seawalls
- Container terminals
- General cargo terminals
- Breakwater construction
- Mole and pier construction
- Wharf and quay construction
- Ro/Ro terminals
- Lo/Lo terminals
- Bulk terminals
- Refuelling pads
- Indoor and outdoor storage facilities
- Ship repair area- Tank area
- Roads
- Bridges
Benefits of using UHPC for civil construction
- Extreme high tensile strength
- Very good flow for casting
- Self-compacting
- Extreme high compressive strength
- High impact resistance and ductility
- Jointless surface
- Can applied thin on even the weakest base
- Freeze/thaw resistant
- Fast curing time
Pavements and roads installation in a harbour
The activities in port areas and terminals exposethe pavements to conditions that constantly stress
of wear and tear from traffic by handling equipment.
High point loads from stacked containers and other
cargo. Rutting from continual driving along the
same routes. Impact from loading and discharging
of cargo and containers.
A combination system UHPC Phalt made by
UHPC binder and asphalt is the natural choice to
meet these challenges as it combines the flexibleand joint free asphalt with the excellent bearing
capacity and high wear resistance of concrete. It
provides a safe and efficient cargo handling, and
withstands wear on the handling equipment.
Under extreme mechanical stress, floor coverings
made of UHPC concrete have proven themselves
very well.
Benefit of using UHPC concrete for pavement and road installation
- High wear resistant
- High bearing capacity
- Extreme high resistance to rutting
- Long service life
- Impermeable
- Excellent resistance to thermal movements
- Joint-free pavement
- Semi-flexible
- Freeze/thaw resistant
- Swift installation
- Early trafficking

My company manufactures concrete sheet piles for port and water canal projects. I would like to improve the construction of our sheet piles. Since we only work with a concrete of a strength of 40 MPa and UHPC achieves a much higher strength, should we be able to improve our sheet pile system here. Or are there any problems with the use of your UHPC material? Is there a representative for this material in India? If there are no representatives, I would like to talk to you about a product representation or a material license for India.
ReplyDeleteNo, optimizing your manufacturing, reduction of your material consumption, weight reduction and associated reduction in manufacturing costs is possible.
