World’s first cement-free piles
Aarsleff Ground Engineering is trialling cement free piles. The test piles use Cem-free concrete and are more environmentally friendly as require less carbon to manufacture and are more resistant to chemical attack.
Centrum Pile is involved as a partner in the LOCOWAG – Low Carbon Concrete within Aggressive Ground project.
The trial is a world first at the site with partners DB Group and BRE. The trial will stress-test the piles, assess durability & create an industry stakeholder group to support adoption with AC3M UK.
Portland cement which is used in more building applications accounts for 5-8% of global carbon emissions.
