Keltbray Piling has installed the first ever permanent works pile using a zero cement concrete called Cemfree.<\/p>\n
Working for Taylor Wimpey on its new housing development in Mount Pleasant, London, Keltbray is installing a secant wall and bearing piles for main contractor Bouygues.<\/p>\n
The Cemfree material, developed and manufactured in the UK by the DB Group, is an ultra-low carbon alternative to traditional cement concrete.<\/p>\n
It has all of the structural characteristics of traditional concrete and is more sustainable as it is more resistant to chloride ingress and requires fewer construction joints and less crack-control steel when used within key structural elements.<\/p>\n
Stuart Norman, Managing Director of Keltbray Piling, said, \u201cUsing Cemfree in the piled foundations over traditional concretes has the potential to save up to 80% in embedded carbon.<\/p>\n
“These works have been a part of a growing collaboration effort with our industry partner, the DB Group, which manufactures the Cemfree binder product.<\/p>\n
“This is Keltbray\u2019s fifth project where we have used Cemfree but only the first time we have used it for permanent works and so far we\u2019re delighted with the results.\u201d<\/p>\n
