Ultra high performance concrete

Slender and bespoke bridges for light traffic

Bridges in UHPC

Bridge solutions in ultra high performance concrete

Hi-Con produces slender, durable bicycle and pedestrian bridges in CRC i3® Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC). Hi-Con bridges are bespoke solutions that creates value to the architect, municipality, engineer, contractor and of course the end-user. The material properties make it possible to create elegantly designed and maintenance-free bridges with a lifespan of more than 100 years. This makes Hi-Con bridges extremely suitable for situations where great design freedom and functionality are desired.

Hi-Con provides bespoke solutions for unique, iconic bridges, such as the Catharina Bridge in Leiden. In addition, in cooperation with ipv Delft and Pieters Bouwtechniek, we developed the UHPC Bruggensysteem Delft (Delft Bridge System), a modular bridge concept with prefabricated bridge decks in CRC i3®.

Whatever solution you choose, with Hi-Con bridges you invest in the future. Both in function and in aesthetics.

CRC i2® can - as any other kind of concrete - be shaped into any aesthetic form and expression. Many possible surfaces can be created. The standard colors are grey and light, but concrete can also be colored and stenciled in order to create a certain expression. Finally, stones or other additives can create a rougher surface. We can help you find the surface, you are looking for.
