UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete is a material with immense possibilities.
WPE DK International has more than 30 years experience in the development, production and industrial applications of UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete materials.
We produce UHPC Mortar, UHPC Castable, UHPC Shotcrete, UHPC Offshore, UHPC Security, UHPC TopLayer und UHPC Wear Protection
75% of the capacity installed or under construction offshore is based on the monopile concept UHPC concrete.
Whereby transition pieces are grouted to piles by applying a monopile foundation consists of a steel pile driven into the seabed and a transition piece slid onto or into the pile. After adjustment of the verticality of the transition piece, the space between pile and transition piece is grouted with UHPC concrete which is mixed and pumped through flexible hoses into the annulus.
Tripile
A Tripile foundation consists of three steel piles driven into the seabed after which a three-legged transition piece structure is slid into the three piles. The overlaps between piles and transition piece are grouted with UHPC concrete.
The UHPC concrete connections evenly distribute the forces from the three-legged transition piece to the piles.
Tripod
A Tripod support structure/foundation is secured in place by driving three piles into the seabed through a sleeve in each of the three corners.
UHPC concrete is pumped into the annuli between pile and sleeve to ensure a strong and durable connection.
Jacket
Jacket foundations are secured to the seabed by four piles placed in a sleeve in each corner and driven into the seabed.
A strong, cost-effective connection between pile and jacket substructure is ensured using UHPC concrete.
Safeguards whether for civilian or military objects to protect against bombings, terrorist or military attacks are always current.
We distinguish in stationary safeguards such as airfields, messages, data centers, headquarters, supply centers, etc., and mobile systems for protecting people, military equipment we e.g. properties, observation posts, etc. in international use.
Due to their unique properties UHPC Ultra High Performance Concrete can hereby assume a large part of these tasks. UHPC concrete can be combined with virtually all materials. From these combinations, we can create unique technically properties.
A little story from the past
Many years ago it was asked if we could cover the floor of a barracks with UHPC, because we would have a "super concrete". The local situation was that due to the movement of
the tank tracks, the standard concrete was nearly crushed in a short
time and it can always be repaired, which were crushed even faster. So
that the floor area holds at least a while, the steel chains of the tanks were exchanged for tank tracks with a hard rubber coating. The damaged floor area was jointlessly grouted with a UHPC soil material of the hardest grade in a special process. After two days, the tanks could roll again. After several months, I asked if the commander are now satisfied that they no longer need to change the tank tracks. Surprisingly, the commander was not satisfied. He found out that he has been driving very hard on the new lined area, that causes the tank tracks to wear very quickly because now the ground is harder than the tank tracks. Now he has to go back to the tanktracks with hard rubber. We were just too good.
