HPC and UHPC Navy is a high performance concretes and by no means comparable to standard concretes. HPB and UHPC Navy surpasses standard concrete by up to ten times in all technical aspects.
The material systems consists of an HPC or UHPC binder with quartz sand as an aggregate.
HPC and UHPC Navy can be processed as shotcrete, castable or mortar. As a reinforcement fiberglass, carbon fiber, plastic fiber or steel fiber mats can be used. In a multi-laminate construction of HPC or UHPC Navy they have very high strength and at the same time high elastic properties. HPC and UHPC Navy is waterproof from a layer thickness ofless than a 1/2 inc (10 mm). After 48 hours, UHPC Navy has reached 70% of its final strength.
You do not need special machines for processing. The processing should be carried out by professional companies. For private individuals, we always advise a supervisor of us or our partner to request for the manufacture of the hull.
Properties of HPC and UHPC Navy binder systems
- High pressure resistance
- High bending tensile strength
- Absolutely seawater resistant
- Frost and de-icing salt resistant
- Extremely high thermal shock resistance
- Constant temperature resistant up to 400°C /750°F
- In a special high temperature version resistant up to 1200°C / 2190°F
- As floating, very low dead weight
- Very fast curing
- High impact and wear resistance
- All kinds of installations are possible in the construction
- Very accurate production of prefabricated element is possible
- Very thin-layered structures can be poured off
This UHPC Navy material offers the possibility to design boat hulls, houseboats, pontoons, marinas, port facilities and transfer hotels, restaurants, schools, industrial facilities, entire residential areas and airfields on the water.
The lifetime can be assumed with 100+ years.
