Famous Projects That Have Partnered with UHPC Manufacturers: Typical Cases and Collaboration Models

### Innovative UHPC Material Applications: An Analysis of Cooperation Models from Landmark Buildings to Commercial Real Estate

In contemporary architecture, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is becoming the "material of choice" for high-end projects thanks to its outstanding mechanical properties and design freedom. As an industry leader with 28 years of dedication to UHPC/GRC/GRG/GRP materials, Qinglong Group has witnessed and participated in the entire journey of this material from the laboratory to real-world projects. By analyzing typical cooperation cases at home and abroad, this article reveals the collaborative innovation path between UHPC manufacturers and project owners, providing designers and clients with a full-chain reference from technical selection to implementation.

### I. UHPC Cooperation Models: From Technical Empowerment to Full-Chain Services

The successful implementation of UHPC projects depends on the deep integration of material suppliers, designers, and contractors. Current mainstream cooperation models fall into three categories: technical consulting cooperation, customized production cooperation, and EPC general contracting. Taking the Nanjing East Road Century Plaza renovation project, in which Qinglong Group participated, as an example, the project used light-transmitting concrete UHPC components to create a city landmark. In this cooperation, Qinglong provided "one-stop service" covering parametric design optimization, mold development, and on-site installation guidance, ultimately achieving seamless splicing of a 300-meter light-transmitting curtain wall. This full-chain model has become the first choice for large public building projects.

### II. Benchmark Project Cases: Technical Breakthroughs and Scenario Innovation by UHPC Manufacturers

In the field of high-end commercial complexes, a landmark project in a first-tier city used UHPC to create irregular double-curved exterior walls. Through its proprietary fiber-reinforced mix ratio technology, Qinglong reduced component self-weight by 20% while increasing flexural strength to over 30MPa, and achieved millimeter-level installation precision with BIM + 3D scanning technology. In such cooperations, the core value of UHPC manufacturers lies in transforming architects' creative visions into implementable engineering solutions—this is also one of Qinglong's core competitive strengths as a national high-tech enterprise.

The municipal infrastructure sector equally demonstrates UHPC's unique advantages. In a river-crossing bridge project using UHPC precast bridge deck panels, Qinglong jointly developed a specialized casting process with a central state-owned construction enterprise, extending component durability to over 100 years while shortening on-site construction time by 40%. This "industry-academia-research-application" collaborative model reflects the bridging role of UHPC manufacturers in material innovation and engineering practice.

### III. Key Considerations for UHPC Cooperation: From Material Performance to Supply Chain Assurance

For real estate developers and construction company decision-makers, selecting a UHPC manufacturer requires evaluating three key capabilities: first, customized production capacity—Qinglong's annual capacity of 600,000 square meters can meet the demands of multiple parallel projects; second, full-process quality control, with 28 inspection procedures from raw material testing to finished product delivery; third, technical service response speed—a nationwide office network enables 48-hour on-site technical support. Together, these elements form the fundamental guarantee for the success of UHPC projects.

### IV. Future Trends: Deep Integration of UHPC and Green Building

With the advancement of the "dual carbon" goals, UHPC is becoming a preferred material for green building thanks to its high durability and low maintenance costs. The industry standard General Technical Conditions for Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Non-Load-Bearing Components, which Qinglong participated in formulating, will further standardize market applications. In the future, competition among UHPC manufacturers will focus on low-carbon production process R&D and circular economy technology innovation—this is also an extension of Qinglong's mission of "creating beautiful architecture."

From the artistic expression of landmark buildings to the functional innovation of infrastructure, the application boundaries of UHPC materials are continuously expanding. Choosing a UHPC manufacturer with full-chain service capability means not only optimizing technical solutions but also enhancing project value. As a vice-chairman unit of the China GRC Association, Qinglong Group will continue to empower the industry with 28 years of technical expertise, driving innovative applications of UHPC materials in more fields.
