France’s Fimec presents Fibloc insulation insertion system

At the Batimat trade show, Fimec presented its automated Fibloc system, which cuts and inserts insulation into concrete blocks. The system is compatible with all types of insulation (rock wool, polystyrene, polypropylene), with up to 8,000 insertions/hour, and used in conjunction with Adler's A880 concrete block manufacturing system, the solution guarantees the thermal performance of insulated cement blocks.

LafargeHolcim and Heliatek present energy-generating concrete facade

LafargeHolcim together with its partner Heliatek have developed a photovoltaic energy-generating concrete facade that has the capability to double the energy generation traditionally achieved by roof-based solar systems. LafargeHolcim and Heliatek have closely collaborated over the last two years to create a cladding solution combining Ductal and HeliaFilm, Heliatek’s flexible and ultra-light solar film. With this new solution, prefabricated Ductal panels are delivered on site with an integrated solar
