What Projects Can UHPC Be Applied To? Application Fields and Qinglong Group's All-Round Solutions

The applications of UHPC have rapidly expanded from the initial bridge deck paving to five major fields: "architectural curtain walls, structural engineering, municipal facilities, water conservancy and marine engineering, and decorative arts." Its properties of "high strength, light weight, durability, and moldability" are constantly breaking through the application boundaries of traditional materials. Over the past 28 years, Qinglong Group has participated in hundreds of projects across the globe, covering a wide range of works from the Hainan International Convention and Exhibition Center (the world's largest UHPC roof) to the Wuhan Han Show Theatre (complex artistic curtain walls), and from a cross-sea bridge in Shenzhen (bridge deck panels) to the Shanghai Astronomy Museum (large-scale sculptures). UHPC is reshaping the form and lifespan of buildings and infrastructure. Unlimited applications, limited only by creativity.

Building Envelope Systems and Decoration

This is the field where UHPC is most widely applied. Used as curtain walls, roofing, and sunshades, its high strength and light weight (with thickness as thin as 15-20mm) reduce structural loads, enabling minimalist facades with large panels and fewer columns; its exceptional moldability can precisely replicate the textures of stone, wood, and metal, or achieve free-form curved surfaces. The UHPC curtain walls supplied by Qinglong Group for the Nanning Wuxiang China Resources MixC One combine decorative effects with thermal insulation, becoming a new urban landmark.

Bridge Engineering and Structural Reinforcement

UHPC used in bridge deck paving can reduce thickness and improve durability; used in precast beam joints, it can enhance structural integrity; used in the reinforcement of old bridges, it can significantly increase load-bearing capacity. The UHPC-NC composite beams we supplied for a highway in Guangdong increased the span by 20%, with an expected service life exceeding 100 years.

Municipal Facilities, Water Conservancy and Marine Engineering

In municipal facilities such as pedestrian bridges, guardrails, drainage channels, and utility tunnels, the durability of UHPC greatly reduces maintenance costs. In water conservancy projects, its high abrasion and scouring resistance makes it suitable for spillways and stilling sills; in marine engineering, its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for dock revetments and cross-sea pipelines. In a waterway project in Qingdao, UHPC panels successfully withstood ship impacts and seawater erosion.

Special Applications and Artistic Forms

UHPC can be used in special fields such as military protective engineering and nuclear waste containers. Its artistic moldability makes it an ideal material for large-scale sculptures and urban furniture. The interstellar-themed sculpture at the Shanghai Astronomy Museum is a prime example of UHPC's artistic expression.

Choosing UHPC means choosing a high-performance, multifunctional material solution. Qinglong Group looks forward to exploring its unlimited application possibilities together with you.
