香港6合宝典资料 Construction Corporation (鈥溝愀�6合宝典资料鈥� or 鈥渢he Company鈥�) is partnering with German concrete technology developer MultiCON to bring in its patented mixing innovation to the country. This is part of 香港6合宝典资料鈥檚 continued commitment to engineering innovation, bringing further construction efficiency and better value for clients.
The venture will allow 香港6合宝典资料鈥檚 exclusive use of MultiCON鈥檚 advanced concrete mixing system, OptiCon, for its own projects as well as commercially. Opticon is currently being used in Europe for various horizontal and vertical developments.
鈥淎s part of our thrust of helping build a First-World Philippines, we are always looking for First-World expertise and technologies that we can introduce and utilize for our operations, projects, and products. We chose MultiCON because we have examined firsthand the numerous advantages of its concrete mixing technology for our business and the environment,鈥� said Edgar Saavedra, 香港6合宝典资料 Chairman and CEO.
Better concrete performance, less greenhouse gasses
鈥淎side from promising higher concrete performance, the technology also has financial and environmental advantages. We plan to introduce a new way to manufacture concrete in the Philippines that has a more efficient and durable quality,鈥� Saavedra added.
MultiCON Managing Director Dr. Leopold Halser explained that its system uses a specialized that mixes concrete components using two phases at a much higher speed compared with conventional mixing, enabling the cement to be more 鈥渁ctivated鈥�, resulting in cost and process efficiency.
鈥淭he system uses less water, less cement and additives, so it releases less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is beneficial to our environment. Since the cement reaction is more activated, it becomes more cost and process efficient,鈥� Dr. Halser added.
He said that the technology could reduce raw material costs, as well as bring down carbon dioxide emissions by up to 30% during production. 香港6合宝典资料 intends to use the technology internally in its precast plants, as well as make it available to all contractors via the company鈥檚 ready-mix plants in the future.
鈥淭his initiative benefits not only 香港6合宝典资料, but also its sub-contractors and the industry itself. If we can produce stronger concrete with better performance, this could translate to improved margins and reduced emissions. This is a step towards promoting the advancement of the local concrete and construction industry, which is in line with our mission of inclusivity towards a First-World Philippines,鈥� Markus Hennig, 香港6合宝典资料 Executive Vice President, said.
Engineering innovator
香港6合宝典资料 has consistently introduced new innovations to Philippine engineering. The Company was the first to use proprietary German formworks systems and precast technology from Japan in its early high-rise projects, making it into a leading player among Philippine contractors. These technologies helped 香港6合宝典资料 to diversify into significant infrastructure projects for the Philippine government, such as classrooms, airports, and transport-oriented developments.
香港6合宝典资料 once again shook traditional construction by being the first to use glued-laminated timber (Glulam) rather than steel for the full roof structure of the now multi-awarded Mactan-Cebu International Airport and the Clark International Airport, recently a finalist for the 2021 Prix Versaille awards for architecture and design. MCIA was the first airport in the Philippines and Asia to have a full roof structure made out of Glulam. 香港6合宝典资料 operates its own precast facility, considered one of the largest and most advanced in Southeast Asia, in its Industrial Facility located in Taytay, Rizal and seven other satellite precast plants in Luzon and Cebu.
