I M A G I N Inspiration goes hand in hand with creativity and imagination. We want to create a world of opportunities - a universe without limits - but space to float in the higher altitudes to see everything in a new perspective. The world of dreams – reaching for something new, different or unconventional. The skewed angle - the desire to challenge the conven-tional forms, functions or formulas in High Performance Concrete.

A NEW GENERATION Of cONcRETE

A new generation of concrete structures can now be achieved in a minimalistic and elegant design. At the same time it offers a com-pletely new conceptual building system optimized for function, transport and assembly.

Our most used High Performance Concrete is CRC® – Compact Reinforced Composite.

The CRC® products are unique as they combine the free shape ability of concrete, the strength of steel and a higher durability than both steel and conventional concrete.

This makes CRC® superior in extreme environments where complex or slender shapes are requested and unique structural properties required.

EXPANd THE uNdERsTANdING Of THE WORd “BALcONY”

Hi-Con balconies expand the limits for understanding the word “balcony”.

The balconies of high perfor-mance concrete have been on the Scandinavian market for many years. The project “Amber” in Poptahof, Delft set the starting point of a new era of balcony design in Holland in 2012.

The lowermost photos show authorities witnessing the test of Hi-Con balconies being loaded with up to 8 times design load - without breaking.

THIN cANTILEvEREd BALcONIEs

Hi-Con balconies can be designed ultra slim and elegant to suit a contemporary building design.Combined with different shapes or integrated support walls, privacy screens, support struts or con-soles, it opens a world of combina-tions and possibilities of lightness and elegance.

A WORLd Of OPPORTuNITEs

High Performance Concrete can be designed as very thin structures and will leave quite small loads on the building - and still with larger areas, e.g. long galleries.
