A hollow-core slab innovation based on
The award process seeks innovations in equipment, technologies, services or products that contribute to the development of the construction and materials industries. This is the ninth time the prize has been granted.
"Hollow-core slabs are a central and demanding structural solution in concrete construction, and the development of a low-carbon solution has taken a long time. It's great that our long-term development work is now getting the attention it deserves," says
Cement is responsible for seven percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. As a volume product of construction, hollow-core slabs are a significant source of emissions. For example, they produce a third of the emissions of concrete mass in an apartment building. In
"The concrete binder is the main source of CO2 emissions in the whole value chain. Alternative solutions to the clinker cement must be explored, tested and adopted at scale. The geopolymer-based hollow-core slabs by
