Poured earth concrete : Virtuous construction

Poured earth concrete is composed of sand, gravel, soil and water.

Poured earth concrete is no ordinary precast wall. It's a major advance in the field of raw earth concrete construction. Unlike traditional concrete, which uses cement as a binder, Poured earth concrete replaces cement with earth. This raw earth acts as a binder, fusing with sand, gravel and water to create a strong, durable building material.

Poured earth concrete : virtuous construction

An environmentally-friendly solution

Poured earth concrete is not an ordinary pre-wall. It's a major advancement in the construction field that uses raw earth concrete. Unlike traditional concrete which uses cement as a binder, Poured earth concrete replaces cement with earth. This raw earth acts as a binder, merging with the sand, gravel, and water to create a robust and durable construction material.

Exceptional Carbon Footprint: The use of raw earth significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the material, making Precoterre an ecological choice.
Circular Economy: By using local earth, Precoterre promotes the circular economy, thus reducing costs and the environmental impact of transport.
Preservation of Natural Resources: By replacing cement with earth, Precoterre preserves natural resources.
100% Recyclable: Precoterre is fully recyclable, meaning it can be reused in other construction projects.

Gros plan sur un chantier

Médiathèque James Baldwin et la Maison des Réfugiés, Paris.

Architecte : Atelier Philippe Madec, associé à l’architecte Nicolas Miessner. Bureau d’études BEterre et amàco

La médiathèque James-Baldwin et la Maison des réfugiés, qui forment ensemble un même équipement du XIXe arrondissement de la Capitale, se caractériseront par leurs murs séparatifs. Remplis de terre crue, ils sont mis en oeuvre à tous les niveaux. Quelque 32 panneaux préfabriqués de terre crue coulée ont été montés sur le chantier.
