Chomarat, a leading composites firm, and AltusGroup, a collaboration of precast concrete companies, presented CarbonCast, their flagship line of reinforced-concrete prefabricated wall panels, reinforced with Chomarat’s C-GRID carbon-fibre grids, at the “Future of Composites in Construction” trade show, in Chicago, on stand C 10, from June 20 to 22, 2017.

CarbonCast panels are classified ASHRAE 90.1. Thanks to the low thermal conductivity of carbon fibre, C-GRID reinforced panels offer excellent thermal performance, providing uniform insulation and, therefore, a comfortable, energy-efficient building.

AltusGroup executive director John Carson said, “Reducing installation time, improving the fire and safety performance, increasing the service life of structures, and cutting energy consumption are crucial criteria in the choice of a CarbonCast solution.”

One of the latest successes of CarbonCast in the US is the Martin Army Community Hospital in Greenville, South Carolina, with more than 18,600 square metres of prefabricated panels.

John Leatham, director of sales and marketing at Chomarat North America said, “The contractor decided on CarbonCast insulated panels, otherwise the hospital project could never have been finished on time with another system. We take pride in the knowledge that C-GRID provides a durable, cost-effective solution for a large number of buildings in the US.” (GK)
