A new low-carbon cement has been used on a UK construction site for the first time.

Swedish green cement producer Cemvision’s product has been used during a concrete pour at a new STOREX Self Storage development in Sunbury, Surrey.

Cemvision and STOREX are now planning to work together on other sites.

London based Capital Concrete oversaw the pour to form foundational slabs using Cemvision’s Re-ment Massive to replace traditional Portland cement.

Oscar Hållén, CEO of Cemvision, said: “This project is a landmark achievement for Cemvision as we bring the benefits of green cement to UK customers.

“Working alongside STOREX and leading technical partners in architecture, engineering, and planning, we are committed to showcasing the scalability and climate benefits of our technology in the UK market.”

The site team included Capital Concrete, Aztec Construction, ROK Planning, Threesixty Architecture, Will Rudd and Atelier Ten.

Jack Sindhu, Technical Director for Capital Concrete, said: “The Cemvision product stands out. It is easy to batch, works seamlessly with traditional aggregates and admixtures, and consistently achieves the right consistency and specified characteristic strength. We’re pleased to have found it.”
