Background:
The sector of precast buildings has developed dramatically in the last years, existing a wide variety of precasting systems available in the market. For some of them, RDC has designed ultra-light UHPC panels. Many of these components are currently produced in PREFFOR for companies from the sector of industrialized housing.
Why to use UHPC?
The purpose of using the UHPC panels is to increase the stiffness of the precast modules and to improve their thermal and acoustic properties adding only a minimum weight and with competitive costs. With simple connection systems and avoiding the use of steel rebars, these panels can be easily incorporated in the industrial production process of the client.
Advantages:
- High efficiency with minimum weight
- Fast, safe and simple connection to the precast modules
Achievements:
- More than 100 precast houses installed in Spain in the last decade have Formex® panels
