We are specialists in sustainability solutions for the construction sector, in materials, construction processes and waste associated with the sector.

Cements, mortars and concretes:

Formulation of new low-carbon footprint alternative cements, mortars and concretes. Portland cement-free formulations. Specific formulations according to application (shotcrete, poured, prefabricated, 3D printing, etc.).
Formulation and evaluation of customised additives for different applications.
Ad hoc 3D printing of complex parts and elements. Different printing scales for all types of sustainable binders, mortars and concretes.

Pavements, bitumens and asphalts:

Research into new modified bitumens and sustainable emulsions for cold, warm, semi-warm and hot improved bituminous mixes. Biobitumens.
Design, formulation and optimisation of pavements, roads and stabilised soils. Recycled aggregates and fillers, RAPs, etc.

Circular Economy:

Revaluation of waste (CDW, ashes, slag, polymers, others) from various industrial sectors. Physical recycling (conditioning, grinding, screening) and chemical recycling (formulation of industrial waste as precursors for sustainable cements and aggregates). Laboratory testing and pilot scale-up.

Natural and sustainable materials:

Bio-construction. Advice on the design of energy efficient, low toxicity and low carbon footprint construction solutions. Design and development of materials compatible with bio-construction criteria.
Wooden construction. Design of timber construction solutions. Advice on structural calculations. CLT-concrete hybrid solutions.

Digitization:

Blockchain, Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence applied to construction. Traceability of waste, building simulation. Automation and optimisation of site management processes, supply chain and health and safety on site.
Infrastructure monitoring and predictive maintenance systems using resistive sensors and fibre optics. Optical sensors (infrared and hyperspectral) for selective waste separation.

Sustainability Analysis:

Life Cycle and Cost Cycle Analysis of products, processes and processes. Social Life Cycle Analysis. Water and carbon footprint. Environmental Declarations of Construction Products.

We research products and solutions for the improvement of sustainability in the construction industry.
