Technical Specifications
RUCONBAR (RUbberised COncrete Noise BARirrs) is a highly absorptive environmentally friendly concrete noise barrier. Its absorbing layer is incorporating 40 % of rubber granules recycled from old automobile tires.
1 kilometer of RUCONBAR noise barriers = 7.800 waste car tires reused
APA (Air Pollution Abatement) is a disruptive technology, the unique filterless, modular and flexible, intelligent platform to control and abate ambient air pollution, integrated with IoT, energy efficiency solutions and multiservices, for indoor and outdoor.
Thanks to chemical – physical – mechanical integrated processes, using only water, APA successfully abates up to 99% of pollutants of the ambient air, reducing dust, gas, odors, bacteria, viruses in the full safety of health and requalification of the territory.
Sustainability Focus/LCA
RUCONBAR - APA integrated solution
- can be reused for at least 90% of the components
- enhanced BL production line
- incorporates a higher proportion of recycled materials
- reduced power consumption for heavy lifting equipment through interconnecting smaller panels
