Atrium Ljungberg enters long-term collaboration with Consolis Strängbetong on climate-smart construction

Atrium Ljungberg and Consolis Strängbetong have entered a long-term collaboration on developing sustainable products and optimizing construction methods. The collaborative partnership aims to find new, innovative solutions that can contribute to climate-neutral construction in the long term, and already today reduce carbon dioxide impact by 30–40%.

Concrete is the world’s most widely used building material and consists of cement, among other things. During cement production, large amounts of carbon dioxide are released. But by using prefabricated climate-improved concrete elements where part of the cement is replaced with alternative binders, while optimizing construction methods, the emission reductions and thus the climate benefits can be great.

“Atrium Ljungberg has very ambitious sustainability goals, which include being climate neutral by 2030. By involving Consolis Strängbetong early in the process, we increase the opportunity to optimize material consumption, the structure’s impact on function, and ultimately – to reduce the climate footprint,” says Angela Berg, Business Development Manager Project Atrium Ljungberg. Here we turned to Consolis Strängbetong as a leading concrete structure supplier who, like us, takes on the climate issue purposefully and concretely,” concludes Angela Berg.

Within the framework of the agreement, the parties enter enhanced cooperation to achieve climate neutrality. The companies plan to carry out several projects together over several years, where work has just begun with Consolis Strängbetong supplying the prefabricated concrete structures for the projects Hus 43 Gamla & Nya Magasinet and Hus 6 Stationen in Slakthusområdet in Stockholm.

” We are very pleased with the collaboration agreement with Atrium Ljungberg. By utilizing prefabricated climate-improved concrete elements and structures from our certified Green Spine Line range, with less cement, we can significantly reduce emissions in construction projects here and now. We will also work together to make our joint construction projects climate neutral in the long term,” says Stefan Ohlsson, CEO of Consolis Strängbetong.

The plan to achieve the companies’ ambitious climate goals is based on collaborative climate efforts, optimizing structure construction in each project to reduce carbon footprint. These measures are considered to enable climate neutrality to be achieved by 2030.

Through a combination of resource-efficient construction solutions, climate-improved concrete recipes, reinforcement with a lower climate impact and minimizing carbon dioxide emissions from transport, the total carbon footprint can be reduced by 30-40%.
