C-CLAW - The revolutionary Non-intrusive mechanical Fastener that facilitates life extension of existing infrastructures

Project description

Innovative assembly solutions for life extension of mature infrastructure

The civil engineering industry is responsible for about 15 % of all carbon dioxide emissions – primary drivers of global climate change. Therefore, finding viable sources of material is important. The EU-funded C_CLAW_C_HAWK project aims to find alternatives to welding and drilling by developing non-intrusive composite bonding and fastening solutions for harsh industrial environments, civil engineering and the hydrogen value chain. Project work intends to solve the difficult equation of making the life extensions of mature infrastructures both environmentally and economically viable, which resonates with the green deal objective of building and renovating in an energy and resource efficient way.

Objective

Civil Engineering contributes to ~15% of CO2 emissions. This is where Cold Pad brings a gamechanger with reliable and durable composite bonding & fastening solutions. After revolutionizing structural adhesive bonding techniques for the marine sector, we now ambition to democratize our non-intrusive solutions for harsh industrial environments, Civil engineering and the Hydrogen value chain. Our composite bonding & fastening solutions facilitate structural works from the construction phase through life extension of large industrial structures, either made of steel or concrete, and with neither business interruption nor risk of explosion. It is a true alternative to welding or drilling. Our unique selling points allow to solve the difficult equation of making the life extensions of mature industrial infrastructures both environmentally and economically viable which resonates with the green deal objective of Building and renovating in an energy and resource efficient way.
