EKOPipe Is A Game Changer
06 November, 2022
Portland Cement, which is used to bind concrete, is energy intensive and contributes 8% of global CO2 emissions. We saw this as an opportunity to develop a low-carbon concrete solution that maximises the reduction of embodied greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing. Introducing EKOPIPE: with over a decade of research and development, EKOPIPE is a game-changing eco-friendly concrete pipe, utilising our revolutionary new BX3 technology, and it’s here to change the future of our built and natural environment.
Compared to standard steel reinforced concrete pipes, EKOPIPE reduces the use of Portland Cement by up to 80%, it reduces concrete CO2 emissions by more than 50%, and it exceeds the 2030 commonwealth emissions targets. These impressive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions have been achieved thanks to the development of our revolutionary process called BX3. BX3 technology uses normal concrete aggregates and does not require changes to the steel reinforcing cage designs. It also uses standard concrete batching and casting equipment during the production process.
