Penthouses in The Hague become ambassadors for sustainable concrete
When building the residential towers in The Hague, J.P. van Eesteren combined concrete with Clim@Add® and basalt fiber reinforcement instead of steel. Among other things, CarStorCon® concrete was used to build the load-bearing walls and components of the penthouses, which set new standards not only architecturally but also ecologically at a height of 90 meters.
The permanent binding of technical carbon in the concrete stores around 25 kg of CO₂ net per cubic meter. In addition, the lightweight, corrosion-free basalt fiber replaces part of the steel reinforcement and thus reduces the amount of material used.
The combination shows how seamlessly our #Klimabeton can be combined with other sustainability solutions for the construction industry and that concrete can not only be produced with lower emissions, but can even act as a CO₂ reservoir ("carbon sink"). This makes the penthouses a showcase project for the future of sustainable construction.
The Dutch newspaper Cobouw reports on the project in a detailed article (paywall).
