Pumping technology for infrastructure projects worldwide

Upcrete technology allows for a smooth-running production of complex and volumetric precast concrete elements as well as precast elements with structured surfaces of high quality. The technology facilitates the manufacturing process and reduces crane capacities. Three examples from Australia, China and Ireland.

Upcrete technology, developed by Ratec, has established itself in recent years as a modern and effective solution in order to produce particularly complex and structured flat or volumetric concrete elements. The core of upcrete is the special pump technology with the support of the UPP100 concrete pump, which has been continually developed and optimized for various applications in numerous projects and trials.

Often, the use of the UPP100 is a result of occurring challenges due to special formwork restrictions or complex element details.
