APPLICATIONS
UHPC OVERLAY
UHPC Overlay over Concrete decks of bridges, flyovers, and industrial floor, whether new or existing, helps to significantly increase the service life of the concrete structure below. Overlays can also be used to rehabilitate existing concrete decks or increase their load rating.
STRUCTURAL REHABILITATION
Structural Rehabilitation using UHPC results in elongated service life and little or no further maintenance for the structure.
LONG-SPAN OPEN WEBBED HYBRID UHPC-CONCRETE INVERTED T BEAM FLOOR SYSTEM
Precast Hybrid UHPC-Concrete floors reduce the floor weight anywhere between 25 to 50 percent compared to both conventional RC and post-tensioned concrete floors.
Advantages
- Faster Construction Schedule
- Lower Earthquake Force on the structure
- MEP ducts can pass through the UHPC beam
- Minimal reinforcing
- Smaller column and Foundation sizes
COLUMNS FOR MID TO HIGH-RISE TOWERS
Want more carpet area in your building?
Consider UHPC. It can reduce your column area anywhere between 2 to 3 times when compared to high strength concrete.
UHPC provides great form-finish as well.
COLUMN JACKETING WITH UHPC
- Save about 90% on Rebar
- Save 75% on Epoxy
- Reduced Column Size
- Save on Lapping
- No Couplers Required
- Time and $$$ Saving
When a 3 storey building in Mumbai was increased to a 13 storey tower, part of the retrofit included jacketing of the existing columns.
The Ui team was able to show significant saving can be realized and reduced column sizes can be achieved using UHPC.
UHPC JOINT CONNECTIONS
Owing to UHPC’s Robust Mechanical and Durability properties, UHPC has now become a favoured material for joining concrete members worldwide.
BRIDGE ENGINEERING
Pont de la République, Montpellier (France)
When it comes to Aesthetics and Architecture, UHPC can make even bridges stand out.
The Pont de la République bridge in Montpellier, France showcases pencil thin bridge piers with excellent concrete form-finish.
These precast piers are post-tensioned and connected with UHPC girders at their top junction.
PRECAST BUILDING MEMBERS

Whether it is the roof members of the Montpellier Railway Station, or the precast columns of the one storey Saint-Nazaire Aquatic Centre, or Facade panels of UHPC delivers great aesthetics value to architectural projects.
