Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) offers fundamentally better performance, but it often remains a "special-project" material. The reason is UHPC production: consistent, economical production at the point of use is technically demanding, and the market has remained dependent on a handful of specialist suppliers of pre-packaged UHPC. That is exactly the gap HYPERCON is bridging.
A UHPC production technology provider, not a concrete supplier
HYPERCON acts as a technology enabler. We provide production systems and digital capabilities rather than producing concrete ourselves. Our clients produce UHPC locally, within their existing concrete and precast operations, through one technology that integrates UHPC mix design and production.
We combine two things:
- Software that designs application-specific UHPC mixes in seconds, optimised for performance and for raw materials from your region.
- Production technology that turns each mix design into UHPC through controlled processing and mixing.
Together, they enable UHPC mix design and manufacturing directly at the point of use.
UHPC production in four steps
- UHPC mix design. HYPERCON's AI-enabled software designs an application-specific UHPC mix within seconds, based on the properties of the raw materials. Every mix complies with local standards.
- Raw materials. The raw materials are sourced regionally and prepared precisely to the specifications each UHPC mix requires.
- UHPC production. UHPC is produced at your precast plant or directly on the construction site, for precast elements and cast-in-place applications. Controlled mixing achieves the properties defined in the mix design.
- Quality control. Sensor-based process monitoring and regular testing verify that every batch meets the specification. The results flow back into the mix design, so production improves continuously.

Conventional supply compared with the HYPERCON way
| Conventional route | The HYPERCON way | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it is produced | Supplier's plant, delivered | Your own plant or site |
| Raw materials | Proprietary pre-packaged material | Raw materials from your region |
| Mix design | Fixed by the supplier | Designed for your raw materials and the use |
| Mix design lead time | Weeks | Hours to days |
| Cost level | High pre-packaged pricing | Up to 60% lower |
| Supplier dependency | High | Low: production at your site |
Which raw materials and equipment are needed
- Raw materials: raw materials from your region. Every material is tested in our lab before the mix design.
- Equipment: mixing and processing equipment, supplied through our machinery partners. Existing plant equipment is assessed for reuse first.
Instead of relying on generic, over-engineered mixes, each mix is tailored to the required performance. The result is high-quality UHPC produced locally, without in-house UHPC know-how.
What this means for producers
- UHPC mixes adapted to raw materials from your region
- application-specific UHPC designed in seconds, not weeks
- high-quality UHPC produced at an industrial scale
- up to 60% lower UHPC production cost
- reduced material complexity and a lower CO₂ footprint
With these cost levels, UHPC becomes economically viable beyond niche applications: for infrastructure, building components, and industrial construction at scale. Read about the four barriers this removes.
How to start
A first call about goals and volumes, followed by a lab check of material samples from the region. HYPERCON is active in Germany and Europe, India, and Uzbekistan.
Frequently asked questions
How is each UHPC mix designed?
Our AI model designs the mix from lab data on raw materials from your region, matched to the application and the target standard.
Which standards do the mixes meet?
Austrian, Swiss, and French UHPC standards. Mixes can be adapted to other local standards.
Does our team need UHPC or software expertise?
No. HYPERCON handles mix design, and your team receives training and production support.
