Who invented the UHPC Binder?
UHPC Gravity Platforms
The construction of gravity platforms is not a new technology. There are already several concrete gravity
platforms in use nearshore. They are designed and manufactured like a barge. Oil and gas processing plants including storage facilities are installed on them.
Compared to standard concrete platforms, gravity platforms made of UHPC concrete are more durable,
much more resistant and almost maintenance-free.
UHPC offshore structures have been around for over 20 years. UHPC Offshore concretes are absolut salt water resistant. In the meantime, UHPC offshore structures are beginning to replace the outdated offshore steel structures. Offshore steel structures are also stabilised with UHPC concrete or the statics of the structure are improved. UHPC structures are also very resistant to ice floes.
Thanks to mobile production facilities, all our UHPC materials can be manufactured and processed on site. There is definitely the possibility to use local raw materials in the local binder production.

Local UHPC offshore binder production through our new UHPC binder production modules.
We have been supplying UHPC grouting material to the offshore industry worldwide for many years. Our UHPC offshore programme consists of UHPC binder systems for wind turbines, offshore foundations, offshore repair material for oil and gas platforms, offshore corrosion protection and UHPC Oilwell cements.
With the new mobile HPC and UHPC binder production plants, we are able to produce HPC and UHPC binders locally with local raw materials worldwide after prior suitability testing. The mobile plants are modular in design and can be easily expanded.

New mobile production plant for HPC and UHPC binder systems
plant for the production of HPC or UHPC binders into operation from the beginning of July. The production plant is housed in three 40" containers and is intended as an expandable modular system. In its basic configuration, the module will produce 120 t / day of binder material. A single packaging unit is integrated into the container for packaging in 1 to BigBag or in 25 kg paper bags. We also plan to commission a mobile HPC and UHPC mixing line one month later. For the basic equipment, a 40" container is required.
The mixing plant can produce approx. 60 t / day of HPC or UHPC ready-mixed concrete. In the basic version, the raw materials are processed "just in time" into binder or HPC / UHPC concrete. In case of a larger daily demand, the raw materials are stored in silos to supply the production modules with raw material
The production and mixing modules can then be used on any construction site in the world.
We will also sell these module systems. They will then be customised to the needs of the customer.
For local HPC or UHPC production, we also offer licences for our HPC and UHPC mixing recipes to our customers.

Offshore hydrogen storage system made of UHPC
Since the beginning of this year, we have been working with several companies on an offshore project to
store hydrogen.
The hydrogen is to be produced and stored on a floating platform off the coast. Several storage units are planned that can be exchanged. The storage units are planned to be made of UHPC concrete.
For the construction, it is currently planned to use UHPC concrete with a compressive strength of over 200 MPa. Currently, the static and constructive calculations are being worked on. The first drafts are expected in two months.

Use of UHPC HT construction material in extreme fire temperatures
up to 1200°C / 2192°F. We use this material under the most extreme wear and temperature conditions in industry. High temperature resistant UHPC HT can be used as construction material, radiation insulation, floor material, wear protection and corrosion protection.
We produce this material in several qualities as mortar, castable and shotcreate.
time. Steel and concrete structures are protected in steel plants, power plants, offshore platforms, civil construtions, refinery, chemical plants etc. with UHPC HT material.
A few years ago we started to develop UHPC HT materials for architectural applications. Today residental housing constructions can be built for example to withstand wild fires and fire storms for long period of time. There are already the first companies that want to manufacture doors and window security systems from UHPC HT. If windows and doors were to be secured against high temperatures, a fire from outside would have no way of penetrating the house.
These high-temperature UHPC HT are also available with mixed thermal insulation.
In public buildings, escape routes, stairwells and supporting structures can be secured against fire and destruction. UHPC HT can be processed in the same way as normal concrete.
UHPC HT is not only extreme
fire-resistant and thus protects life, UHPC HT has a very high
load-bearing capacity, no water can penetrate UHPC HT constructions
at flooding
situation, UHPC HT can be perfectly processed as a
tilt-up and precast construction and is absolutely resistant to all
types of fungi and termite infestation. UHPC HT has also been used in
the military and in security technology for many years.

UHPC Floating platforms
The future will take place more and more on the water of the oceans, whether on the coast or in the open sea. UHPC Ultra high Performance Concrete will play a crucial role in this. The two main construction materials in the offshore sector so far are steel and concrete. However, both have significant disadvantages compared to UHPC.
On the one hand, there is resistance to salt water. Steel is very difficult to protect against corrosion and even then the construction still has to be serviced regularly and very time-consuming and expensive. Floating structures should have a lifespan of at least 100+ years in the future.
With normal concrete structures the problems are similar, if not more serious. Once extremely corrosive seawater has penetrated the steel reinforcement unnoticed, the repair effort is enormous. In addition, for this very reason, the construction must be extremely thick-walled. An anti-corrosion coating makes the entire construction additionally expensive and here too the entire construction must be checked regularly in short periods of time.
Special UHPC concretes have extremely high strength values compared to normal concretes, they are waterproof after a wall thickness of a few millimeters and are absolutely salt water resistant. Some of our UHPC binders are also extremely temperature-resistant (up to max. 1200°C) and they are very good wear-resistant (resistant to wear and tear caused by moving ice floes). Due to the high strength values, structural elements can be optimized or minimized in terms of size and weight.
UHPC concrete will be the much cheaper material for the required service life.
As developers and producers of high-quality UHPC binder materials, we want to focus on three future projects:

As developers and producers of high-quality UHPC binder materials, we want to focus on three future projects:
1st project
Floating work platforms for energy generation and storage.
All the major offshore wind farm operators worldwide are currently planning not only to generate energy with wind turbines, but also to use this energy to produce hydrogen on site in the wind farm. Solar systems on the platforms should contribute to additional energy generation. The platforms can be manufactured in several standard segments and connected to form a network at sea. These platforms can be made from very lightweight UHPC. This UHPC material can be self-floating.
2nd project
Floating living and working platforms, artificial islands for the coastal area and for the open sea. Platforms
for residential buildings, hotels, schools, hospitals, office buildings and production facilities.
Please see the corresponding article below.
3rd project
Offshore missile launch sites
There are various ideas for implementing this. In Germany, launch sites on ships for small and medium-sized rocket systems for satellite transport are being considered and are already being planned. Elon Musk is planning rocket launch sites for converted former oil production platforms. In all of these plans, UHPC could contribute to intelligent, lasting solutions. Ships were built from UHPC more than 20 years ago and
offshore platforms with UHPC were significantly improved structurally and statically.
