CONCRETE PIPES AND MANHOLES106 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 3 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comnext.beton stands for concrete wastewater systems Made in Germany, the production of which completely dispenses with cement. After next.beton received general building authority approval last year, the first sewer construction project was completed in Germany, where the new concrete pipes are now being implemented in the Federal State of Hessen.While the topics of sustainability and climate protection are already very present in building construction, they currently receive little attention in civil engineering projects and sewer construction. The underground infrastructure in Germany, with a length of around 594,000 km and a replacement value of around 746 billion Euros, can make a decisive contribution to the sustainability of cities and municipalities [1]. The key lies in the use of climate-friendly and durable sewer systems. next.beton not only impresses with massive CO2 savings, but also with its very high acid resistance.In the production of next.concrete pipes, the cement is replaced by a mineral binder made from industrial by-products. This conserves primary raw materials and saves up to 70 percent of CO2 emissions in the production of raw materials. In addition to the use of secondary raw materials, the complete recyclability of the pipes also promotes a sustainable circular economy. Germany-wide cooperation of three strong medium-sized companiesThe cooperation between the three manufacturers behind next.beton: Berding Beton GmbH, the R%u00f6ser Group and the Finger-Beton Group is as innovative as the concrete mix design itself. The strategic cooperation between the leading concrete specialists not only enabled efficient approval, but also immediate and nationwide availability of the sewer system. The nationwide distribution of the production sites ensures short distances in the procurement of raw materials as well as short delivery distances for the products and thus very low CO2 emissions during the entire transport.In Fronhausen, next.beton%u2019s first location of implementation, the transport route from the Finger-Beton concrete production facility to the construction site is also only 3.5 kilometres. %u201cAn innovative and climate-friendly product will be installed for our underground infrastructure in Fronhausen, which will Cement-free concrete sewer system installed in Hessen, Germanynext.beton %u2013 a climate-friendly innovation from GermanyIn Hessen, a sewer construction project is being implemented with the cement-free concrete pipes %u00a9 next.beton
