The big cities on the coasts and rivers have
big problems for the future. A problem is the
lack of natural space for the permanent
expansion of cities. Building ever higher
skyscrapers is not a solution in the long run.
One solution is to expand the construction
site by adding fillings in the coastal area,
as we see in Dubai and Singapore, among
others. Another solution to the problem is
the very old traditional construction of pile
dwellings and houseboats, as they have
always done in Asia.
Modern architecture has been thinking
about its designs for a long time with interesting
designs and projects about future life in coastal
and river areas. Here, the old living concepts
are reinterpreted. New materials such as
UHPC® concretes can easily incorporate
existing local living concepts and constructions
and implement them in permanent concepts.
UHPC® offers absolute seawater resistance with
extremely high strength. Light, thin but
high-strength constructions can be combined
with local traditional materials such as bamboo.
Floating residential and industrial concepts can
also be realized with UHPC®, and not just above
water. The first underwater concepts have
already been implemented worldwide with new
hotel concepts. Recent plans also include
entire artificial islands on which hospitals,
workshops, hotels, kindergartens, residential
complexes including leisure facilities are built.
Some international architecture firms are
interested in using UHPC® Ultra High
Performance Concrete in their living concepts,
because the advantages of this material are
unique in their variety and quality.
UHPC® offshore constructions are already in
use in areas with extreme environmental
conditions. UHPC® is very wear-resistant,
among other things, moving ice masses is
not a real problem for a UHPC® construction.
UHPC® materials have no pores, are therefore
extremely corrosion-resistant and offer an
extremely long repair-free service life.
