FP McCann makes first cement-free precast pipes
Abstract
FP McCann worked with international partners to introduce a geopolymer low-carbon binder that is formed from the chemical activation of Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag. It is claimed that the binder can reduce the overall environmental impact and the CO₂ emissions associated with Portland cement by up to 80%. High performance concrete made with this novel material is achieving similar strengths. The work is being carried out in conjunction with FP McCann’s wider low carbon initiative, working with suppliers and customers to provide economical, high-quality, and sustainable products. The next step will be an introduction of the geopolym binder to the precast sector.
