Mass Concreting
Mass concreting of floating caissons is a demanding operation. These massive structures are cast under tight time constraints, where consistency, control, and reliability are critical. Any interruption, variation in concrete behavior, or loss of workability can compromise both structural integrity and floating performance.
Thermal control is essential to prevent cracking and long‑term durability issues. Concrete must remain workable long enough to ensure complete filling, uniform consolidation, and high‑quality finishes.
Balancing these competing demands requires advanced mix design and precise execution, where performance cannot be left to chance.

Tailor made solutions to support your offshore projects
Concrete is a key material in the construction of offshore wind farms, as its high durability significantly reduces maintenance and repair costs, whilst its long service life ensures efficient operation for decades by offering high resistance to corrosion in harsh marine environments and enabling customized designs.
Admixture solutions and associated digital services are essential to optimise concrete performance in these demanding conditions.
They enable accelerated construction, improving productivity and reducing project timelines.
Our experts supported by our R&D team are providing advanced formulations and dedicated tests (minimum coverage of steel, maximum hydration temperature) to enhance durability to ensure long-term resistance in marine environments.
Gravity Foundations
These massive concrete structures demand precise control from casting to placement. Concrete must deliver consistent workability for large pours, predictable setting behavior, and uniform strength throughout the structure.
Advanced concrete solutions make it possible to secure robust production, high structural integrity, and long‑term resistance to marine environments while keeping manufacturing efficient and timelines under control.
By combining reliable performance with optimized production, gravity foundations can be delivered with confidence, from land to sea.
