Sarthe Cancer Center
Le Mans
The new Sarthe Cancer Center in Mans was recommended to use the low-carbon concrete ECOPact for the construction of radiotherapy chambers and dedicated scanner rooms. The scanner rooms were the subject of a particular implementation due to the use of X-rays. The construction site volume was of 13,000 m3, using 1,500m3 of low carbon solutions and 1,000m3 of concrete with recycled aggregates. The site should be completed by the end of 2022.
The use of Ecopact concrete in the construction project resulted in a significant 27% reduction in the carbon footprint, showcasing its effectiveness in promoting sustainability and lowering environmental impact.
