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
We have more than 25 years of experience
in the development, production and application of UHPC Ultra High Performance concrete materials in hundreds of different applications, including in the military sector.
This article is already several years old. The development of UHPC Ultra High
Performance Concrete materials has been advanced since then.
Whereby in this case of application for
military bunker or shelter systems
the UHPC material is important, but also the
intelligent combination with other materials
and finally the installation of this material
combination.
With such different UHPC material
combinations, it is possible to dramatically
reduce the impact of a wide variety of
weapon systems.
With UHPC materials it is possible to
produce effective protection systems
in any climatic environments.
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.
