Precast Concrete That Won't Cost The Earth
Eliminate maintenance costs and increase the lifecycle of structures with our eco-products.
Unleash the benefits of sustainable building with our low-carbon, nature-based solutions for construction, infrastructure and marine environments.
The future of sustainable construction starts here
We’re on a mission to promote more sustainable ways of designing and building retaining structures in the UK and to help you reap the benefits on offer from low-carbon, nature-based solutions.
The eco-range of concrete mixes aren’t just good for sustainable construction – they’re good for business.
Our Sensicrete products will
- Improve the performance of precast structures.
- Increase their resilience to chemicals, fire and water.
- Extend the design-life and lifespan of concrete structures.
- Help create smarter, climate-resilient structures that require minimal to zero maintenance, either eliminating or significantly reducing maintenance costs.
- Our ‘living wall’ system can be attached to existing structures and will create green spaces in urban environments, encouraging pollination and improving the aesthetics of concrete structures
Innovation in action
Our innovation partner Sensicon – work in collaboration with universities, industry leaders, national and international government agencies to research and develop a range of world-class sustainable construction products.
Alongside this, they are carrying out research into “biomimicry” – ways of imitating nature’s designs – to allow concrete to be less intrusive when used in marine environments.
