DAW Construction, in partnership with Qatar German Polymer Company (QGPC), unveiled Polymer Resin Concrete (PRC), which the company described as a breakthrough solution poised to redefine infrastructure development.
The innovative material addresses critical infrastructure challenges with unmatched sustainability, durability, and efficiency, setting new standards for urban resilience, the company said.
“Unlike traditional reinforced concrete, PRC eliminates water use during production, a critical advantage as global water scarcity intensifies,” it said.
Beyond its water-saving production process, PRC boasts a lifespan of over 100 years, far surpassing traditional concrete, which often requires costly repairs and maintenance after just a few decades.
Tarek Musbah Abdul Rahman, General Manager of DAW Construction, said infrastructure today is no longer about simply building structures, it’s about sustainability, speed, and value.
“With PRC, we’ve introduced a material that overcomes the challenges of traditional concrete, such as corrosion and costly maintenance, while drastically reducing construction timelines.
“This positions the UAE as a global leader in sustainable urban development,” he said.
PRC’s superior technical properties include compressive strength of up to 120 MPa and a near-zero absorption rate of 0.05 mm.
Its lightweight design also allows for easier transportation and faster installation, reducing labour and equipment costs, the company said.
Additionally, PRC’s resistance to corrosion eliminates the need for reinforcements, making it particularly effective for applications such as sewer systems, drainage channels, and manhole covers.
Abdul Rahman said the construction industry is shifting as developers and governments are not just looking for materials, they are seeking solutions.
“PRC offers a comprehensive answer by addressing critical challenges like flooding, rapid urbanisation, and environmental sustainability.
“By partnering with QGPC, we are bringing a transformative product to the market, ensuring the UAE continues to lead in global infrastructure innovation,” he said.
