HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE – CRC A new generation of balconies and galleries can now be achieved in a minimalistic and elegant design – as well as in new structural systems and optimized ways of transportation and installation.

The High Performance Concrete for balconies is patented under the name ”CRC” – Compact Reinforced Composite.

The CRC products are unique because they combine the free shape ability of concrete, the strength of steel and a higher durability than both steel and normal concrete. This makes CRC superior in very extreme environments where complex or slender shapes are requested and very special structural properties are required.

The innovative potentials of High Performance Concretes are very high – and in the future you will see many new applications in this wonderful construction material.

However - unlocking the potentials requires a new and openminded cooperation and network between the partners in the industry – developers, architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, clients and end users.

We invite everybody to join forces in exploring the future potentials of High Performance Concrete
