Customized Products by Technique Béton for Modern Housing Estate in Paris

Use of Concrete Admixtures and Mortars in Le Blanc Mesnil, Paris, France

The city Le Blanc Mesnil with its high density of population is part of the Département Seine-Saint-Denis in the metropolitan area of Paris. The city is located on one of the major axes of economical development in the region of Ile-de-France. At the moment, a large number of housing estates is being built in this area within the scope of an urban modernization program. One of these compounds is constructed by SABP from Le Raincy. This housing estate is to contain 82 state of the art apartments.

Among other products, Technique Béton supplied the two component self-levelling mortar Ravalchoc AL for this project. This mortar is used as levelling product. It has an exceptionally good adherence to concrete and high mechanical strength. In addition, Ravalchoc AL is not only waterproof, but also resistant to frost and deicing salts.

The one component levelling product Finimur is used for smoothing uneven surfaces. It renders even surfaces and is characterized by its easy and quick application as well as its good adhesion to other surfaces.

In addition, Technique Béton supplies Addifor 2001 as superplasticizer, while Biodem SI2 is used for the cladding. It does not stain and is therefore especially suitable for high grade facades. Biodem’s biodegradability is above 60%, which is why it is especially environmentally friendly.

Once again, Technique Béton has made an important contribution to the construction of this modern housing estate with its high quality products.
