IMPROVED PARTICLE PACKING
A dense micro-structure optimized through particle packing theory gives our UHPC mix its superior qualities. This allows us to achieve higher strengths, increase durability and improve workability.
Concrete
UHPC
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
By refining the micro-structure our mix can achieve compressive strenghts of at least 150 MPa, depending on the mix and it's application.
Concrete
30 – 50 MPa
UHPC
150 – 190 MPa
depending on mix and application
FLEXURAL STRENGTH
By incorporating steel fiber into the mix flexural strengths over 15 MPa can be achieved.
Concrete
~3-5 MPa
UHPC
15 – 25 MPa
depending on fibers used
REDUCED COSTS
Due to UHPC's improved qualities, less material is used to provide the same structural strength. Despite the higher per unit cost, the overall project cost will be reduced. The increased durability will also minimize future maintenance cost.

UHPC PROJECTS.
e.construct designed and produced UHPC facade panels for two projects in Dubai. The use of UHPC enabled thinner, sleeker panels. UHPC provided more flexibility in designing the facades, bringing more innovative ideas to life.
Jumeirah 3 villas
Al Manara Villa
e.construct produced all 49 UHPC louvres, that cladded the main face of the villa.
