Because part of being MC really does mean accepting responsibility for lives and reputations.
We take building seriously.
Tunneling
As a worldwide leading technology, mechanized tunneling with tunnel boring machines (TBM) is particularly suitable in difficult ground conditions and in inner-city projects. Its success depends not only on careful planning and execution, but also – and critically – on ensuring optimal interaction between the machine technology employed and the speciality chemistry applied.
MC is able to support the full range of tunneling variants with optimally adapted system solutions from the areas of soil conditioning, pipe jacking lubrication, tail sealing, main bearing lubrication and sealing, backfill grouting and state-of-the-art concrete technology.
Tunneling is our passion.
Injection
Injection systems can make a sustained contribution to the regular maintenance and repair of buildings and structures, helping to significantly extend their service lifetime.
Successful injection measures result from high-performance materials combined with optimum application technology, with expert planning and execution ensuring that the injection systems perform to their maximum.
You will also be supported – when required – by expert advisers and application engineers who are active at the super-regional and international level.
We are pleased to invite installation and application companies to have their personnel trained and qualified in our widely recognised application training courses, complete with external certification.
We take injection seriously.
Precast
High resistance and strength, immaculate appearance, resistance to aggressive media and optimal application properties, even in the case of intricate and complex component designs – we offer solutions for every requirement.
For decades, MC-Bauchemie has been developing innovative system solutions for the optimization of fresh and hardened concrete’s characteristics in the production of precast concrete elements. Supplemented by a wide range of Concrete Cosmetic products, curing agents and high-performance assembly mortars, we offer our partners a complete package for the entire process and performance chain at a modern precast concrete production.
With an extensive service and technical competence, we adjust our solutions to your requirements and raw materials, as well as to your production process- es and dosing technology – offering extensive benefits for your manufacturing efficiency and your customers:
- Shorter moulding cycles thanks to increased early strength
- Improvement in processing properties
- High-quality fair-faced concrete surfaces
- Global on-site service provided by real experts
Concrete is our passion.
Ready-Mix
High-tech concrete is essential when it comes to design. It needs to be durable and stable, as well as resistant against weathering, acids and aging. It also needs to be easy-flowing and/or self-compacting. Ideally, this should be combined with the very best in surface finish and a uniformly high quality that exceeds standard specifications. In short, you are looking for concrete that can meet your most stringent requirements. We make it possible.
In ready-mixed concrete, we share a common objective with you. Optimizing consistency and workability is essential for the quality of the end product – its stability, durability and appearance. With MC’s high-performance flow- improving and plasticizing admixtures, as well as its air-entraining agents and stabilizers, you can accurately control your formulations for a wide range of cements and applications.
From classic product lines such as Centrament or Muraplast through to the perfect combination of flow enhancement and robustness with the new MC-TechniFlow and MC-PowerFlow series, we offer you a truly comprehensive range of admixtures . We have the right solution for every requirement, for terraces and industrial floors, bridges and cooling towers . And thanks to Centrilit NC, we can also ensure your ability to supply acid-resistant, high- performance concrete .
Concrete is our passion.
Concrete Protection
When considering constructing a new or repairing and refurbishing an existing car park- ing facility, planning professionals will have a number of objectives in mind. Among the most important of these is to protect the reinforced concrete from chloride attack and to seal all cracks and joints so that they are watertight. It will also be desirable to keep the car park light, bright and user-friendly.
Clients will be especially keen on a solution offering robust durability. In the case of refurb jobs, this will go hand-in-hand with the need for minimal downtime and lockout periods so that the car park can be put back into service as quickly as possible.
The variety and sometimes also the disparity of design and technical requirements mean that such undertakings can rarely be approached using off-the-shelf concepts. It is much more the case, in fact, that virtually every multi-story and underground car park project requires properly customized, detailed planning. And this is where the smart products, solutions and expertise of MC-Bauchemie can make such a difference.
