UHPC materials
are used in all processes of alternative and active native energy
production used as the material for foundations, as a lining-material
for protection against corrosion, wear
and as a construction
material. Due to the diverse application possibilities and the superior
properties compared to standard concrete qualities, UHPC are
increasingly used in the mentioned areas. UHPC has the advantage that it
can be processed just like standard concretes.Hydroelectric power plants or storage power plants
Due to the extreme corrosion resistance of UHPC concrete constructions with a much higher reinforcement density per volume can be used. This can significantly increase the strength of the construction or the wall thicknesses or layer thicknesses can be reduced while maintaining strength.
In the right combination UHPC is very resistant to wear and cavitation.
Since UHPC already reaches 70% of its maximum nominal strength in the standard quality after 48 hours and in the special quality after only 12 hours.
UHPC is available as mortar, casting material and shotcrete material.
Tidal power plants
Some tidal power plant systems are already being used in Europe and Asia. There are now a lot of technical variations of tidal power plants for the coasts but also for directly in the sea. One thing all needs a stable seawater resistant and durable foundation.
Based on the experience gained with the foundation systems of the offshore wind power plants, high quality UHPC materials are ideally suited for this purpose. In particular, the enormous adhesive power of UHPC in anchoring and bolt system is required here. What is once shed in a UHPC foundation can no longer be removed from the foundation, even with enormous forces. Not only in this regard, UHPC is many times superior to normal standard concrete.

Biogas power plant
Biogas
has been produced in many small plants in the past. There are already
very large production facilities in Europe. The plants have corrosion
and wear problems due to the production process. Especially wherever
standard concrete was used. Here, a UHPC protective layer of a few
millimeters can be used to achieve permanent corrosion protection. To
achieve a very long service life, UHPC concrete should be used for the
new construction.
