The right element,
for every structure
Civil engineering
Engineering structures
made lighter
For footbridges, slabs and edge beams,
UHPFRC reduces dead weight while offering excellent durability, even in the most aggressive environments.
In rehabilitation work, thin elements supplement or replace existing components without reworking the whole structure. A valuable asset for older structures.

Buildings
Façades, glass roofs
and structure
Free of steel reinforcement, UHPFRC preserves the slenderness and forms of the architect’s design: perforated lattices, fins, sun breakers, columns. Appearance matters as much as structural performance.

Public space
Street furniture
built to last
In public space, a bench or a railing is judged over decades. UHPFRC withstands salt, frost and impact, and keeps its appearance with little maintenance.
On the Corniche JFK in Marseille, UHPFRC benches and railings replace elements eaten away by the sea air, reproducing the original profile.

Technical questions
UHPFRC in practice
What is UHPFRC?
A concrete with a very compact matrix, reinforced with fibres. Its compressive strength exceeds 130 MPa, up to 7 times that of ordinary concrete.
Is UHPFRC more expensive?
The right material, in the right proportions, for the right use.
Used well, UHPFRC makes it possible to take advantage of its performance, achieve a competitive solution and build structures that would not be possible with traditional solutions.
Is reinforcement needed?
In most applications, the fibres built into the matrix make it possible to do without steel reinforcement and to achieve very thin sections. For certain structures or particular loads, however, combining UHPFRC with reinforcement makes it possible to go even further, while significantly reducing the amount of steel required.
Are technical documents available?
Technical data sheets and approvals are provided on request, via the contact form.
A project on the drawing board?
Drawings, a sketch or just an idea: the Innobéton team assesses feasibility in UHPFRC.
