INDUSTRY BENEFITS

ENGINEERING COs.

Beneficios industria

  • Easy application of design in the installation.
  • More durable solutions requiring less maintenance.
  • The system allows a design that substantialy reduces the thickness of the necessary support layers.
  • The permanent load transfer facilitates reduced size slabs achieving an important decrease in the maximum tension supported, thus, allowing the designer to reduce its thickness.
  • The slab does not neccessarily have to rest partially or totally on the ground, as per loads, temperatures or seats affecting it; but each slab will always rest on the adjacent slabs.
  • This ability to permanently rest on the other allows a different design of the concrete pavement.

CONSTRUCTION COs. AND CONCESSIONS

  • Beneficios industria2Benefits for construction companies:
    • Possibility to get more works by having a better and more cost-efficient technology:
      • Quick and easy installation.
      • Cost reduction on roads can be up to 25% of the total construction cost.
      • In railways can produce savings of up to 50% of the civil works of the track foundation.
      • In the paving of Ports and Airports esplanades cost reduction is greater than 33%.
      • Ready to use without additional assemblies.
      • Reduces material costs (savings of 50% in the firm) and installation.
      • Reduces implementation schedules.
      • Easy supply and distribution.
  • Important benefit for works concessionaire contracts:
    • With savings of € 20 / m2 per 1 km of highway 10 m wide, the savings would be 200,000 euros.
    • With this economic advantage, bidding becomes more manageable.

PRIVATE CUSTOMERS – ADMINISTRATION

  • Beneficios industria3Lower cost, therefore, less investment.
  • More durable solution which requires lesser frequency of maintenance.
  • Benefits for Public Administration Clients:
    • Less investment in infrastructure and more infrastructure with the same investment. (For example, a Highway Administration to invest 1,000 million euros a year, could save 100 million euros a year. In other infrastructures benefit assessment compared to the total is more difficult).
    • Lower operating and maintenance costs.
    • Environmental savings in CO2 production, materials handling and quarrying.
    •  Higher quality of service, greater surface evenness of a road and durability of the works.
    • Less impact and inconvenience for citizens by reducing execution schedules.
