PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS164 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 4 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comSpurgin has been focussing on innovation, sustainability and efficiency for decades %u2013 supported by its long-standing partnership with the Progress Group. The French market leader for conventional double walls and double walls made of concrete with a low CO2 content realises state-ofthe-art circulation systems with the full-range provider for the precast concrete industry, as is currently the case in Migni%u00e8res in northern France. The result is a new production line for the manufacture of wood-concrete elements consisting of 85% bio-based material %u2013 a pioneering project for the precast concrete industry, and not just for Spurgin.Spurgin has been synonymous with innovative and efficient double wall solutions since 1978. With a clear focus on simplification, quality and sustainability, the company develops customised products for the construction site of tomorrow - and is now a market leader in France. With a total of seven pallet circulation systems at six locations, Spurgin is already a long-standing customer of Progress Group. The partnership, which has existed since 1998, is based on mutual trust and the pursuit of innovation and maximum performance for the efficient production of precast concrete elements with low emissions. With a total of 15 different products from four demand-orientated segments, Spurgin places particular emphasis on innovative solutions that improve the carbon footprint and ensure high-quality end products. These are double walls, insulated double walls, architectural walls made with formliners or coloured concrete as well as precast slabs with in-situ topping and solid walls in wood-concrete.Long-standing partnership in figuresThe Progress Group realised its first circulation system in Alsace, near its headquarters in St. Croix-en-Plaine, in 1998. In 2004, Spurgin launches the Isopr%u00e9%u00ae wall, a double wall with integrated insulation, and builds another plant in south-east France (Blyes), now the company's third site. This was followed by the fourth plant in Chartres (Migni%u00e8res) in 2011 and the fifth plant in Nesle in 2017 to better serve the Paris market, the west and the north of France. Just one year later, the sixth plant in La Roque d'Anth%u00e9ron near Marseille opens its doors to realise the full potential of southern France. In 2023, the double wall circulation system at the St. Croix-en-Plaine site will be completely rebuilt and brought up to the latest standard. In the meantime, partial modernisations of the pallet circulation systems with the fully integrated reinforcement machines have been carried out repeatedly in order to optimise the production systems.A success story for double walls in FranceEbawe Anlagentechnik GmbH, 04838 Eilenburg, GermanyThe newly designed concrete spreader is used to discharge the wood-concrete.The new centrepiece of the plant at Spurgin: the PreFix shuttering system.
