Objective Action

Production of a new innovative ready-mixed concrete product called ENVIRA that is environmentally friendly and contributes to the creation of sustainable constructions.

 

Target Audience

- Customers - Manufacturers

- Society as a whole

 

Duration

From 2021 onwards.


Description

A key feature of ENVIRA's innovation is the special design of its composition, which makes it permeable to water. This property, which allows the water element to flow through its mass, places it at the forefront of a new generation of building materials that are compatible with the principles of sustainability and environmental respect.

Impact on Society

Designed mainly for use on external floors, such as in parking areas, etc., ENVIRA facilitates the drainage of rainwater, in order to direct it in a natural way to the subsoil or to be collected in reservoirs, depending on the study and the choice of the base/ infrastructure. The natural runoff of water does not burden the networks of removal and treatment of rainwater, as a result of which the possibility of flooding phenomena is reduced. The surface of floors made with ENVIRA is fully accessible and safe, with high functionality depending on the design and requirements of each project. Also, the final image of the surface on which this product is used is very attractive from an aesthetic point of view, which means that there is no need for additional treatment with other materials.

ENIVRA plays a key role in sustainable construction, on the one hand because it limits the loss of precious water resources and on the other hand because its applied surface offers improved reflectivity to solar radiation, compared to asphalt for example. Thus, the urban heat island phenomenon is reduced and the average temperature increase in the building fabric is limited. That is why it is an excellent choice for projects that require high performance according to the LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) system.
