I M A G I N Inspiration goes hand in hand with creativity and imagination. We want to create a world of opportunities - a universe without limits - but space to float in the higher altitudes to see everything in a new perspective. The world of dreams – reaching for something new, different or unconventional. The skewed angle - the desire to challenge the conven-tional forms, functions or formulas in High Performance Concrete.

A NEW GENERATION Of cONcRETE
A new generation of concrete structures can now be achieved in a minimalistic and elegant design. At the same time it offers a com-pletely new conceptual building system optimized for function, transport and assembly.
Our most used High Performance Concrete is CRC® – Compact Reinforced Composite.
The CRC® products are unique as they combine the free shape ability of concrete, the strength of steel and a higher durability than both steel and conventional concrete.
This makes CRC® superior in extreme environments where complex or slender shapes are requested and unique structural properties required.

EXPANd THE uNdERsTANdING Of THE WORd “BALcONY”
Hi-Con balconies expand the limits for understanding the word “balcony”.
The balconies of high perfor-mance concrete have been on the Scandinavian market for many years. The project “Amber” in Poptahof, Delft set the starting point of a new era of balcony design in Holland in 2012.
The lowermost photos show authorities witnessing the test of Hi-Con balconies being loaded with up to 8 times design load - without breaking.
