Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Martillac
Château Smith Haut Lafitte, a prestigious Bordeaux wine estate, is building an industrial facility using H-UKR cement to uphold its values of tradition, excellence, and environmental respect. The cement, compatible with traditional concrete methods, offers high performance and durability. The project involves a collaboration with SARL Malandain, a local construction company, and BPE POINT.P - SGDB France, which supplies the cement and provides technical support. This partnership promotes sustainable construction practices and knowledge sharing in the region, reinforcing the estate's commitment to environmental responsibility and strengthening its brand image in the wine industry.
By eliminating clinker, H-UKR cement significantly reduces the carbon footprint. It offers CO2 emissions of 252 kg per ton of cement, compared to 827 kg for conventional cement Portland CEM I, allowing for a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions. In that project, roughly 8,7 tons of H-UKR cement were used. That corresponds to 5 tons of CO2 emissions saved when taking into account the previous information regarding 70% CO2 emissions reduction.
H-UKR cement replaces Portland cement and is well-positioned to meet the challenges of sustainable development. H-UKR cement contains 0% clinker and is made from industrial by-products and activators from the chemicals industry, using a cold process which produces low-carbon concretes. It is a technology based on alkali-activated blast furnace slag and activators and super-activators specifically formulated by the Company are added to the ground blast furnace slag. Cement using H-UKR technology is intended in particular for the precast concrete, ready-mix concrete and cement bag markets.
