"More weight – less volume – less cost" is very essential to all the counterweight producers we supply. Some of the most well-known applications for counterweights are the professional excavators, tractors, cranes and construction machines.

High-density concrete provides excellent protection from harmful radiation and generated heat.

Additionally, the concrete structure is superior and has higher durability, and concerning composite lead or steel shields, it is cheaper.

The Concrete Gravity-Based Structures (CGBS).

A CGBS is generally a very large and extremely heavy reinforced concrete structure that is placed on the seabed.

It withstands extreme environmental forces by virtue of its own weight and inherent strength.

The FCS aggregate in concrete weight coating (CWC) for pipelines increases negative buoyancy and gives mechanical protection against sea motions.

Our customers, the offshore pipeline companies, mix FCS into high-density concrete, which they apply to the pipelines and which provide a heavyweight coating. Alternative subsea pipeline protection is concrete mattresses for which dense concrete is also used.

Concrete shielding reduces the intensity of radiation depending on the thickness and density of the concrete structure.

High-density concrete radiation shielding guarantees that people can work safely in buildings where ionizing radiation occurs.

Using heavy concrete with the FCS, instead of using rock anchoring, meant a shorter construction time and lower cost.

Less excavation / transportation / reinforcement and time for construction

The heavyweight FCS benefits offshore wind turbine constructions to keep these floating or ballasted to the seabed.

Wind turbine constructions require secure concrete foundations that are unaffected by undersea currents and lifetime abrasion. By nature, these offshore foundations need to have a considerable weight to withstand the motions of the sea and the stresses imposed by the windmills rotating blades.
