Our R&D team is constantly working on the creation of new products, always under the prism of sustainability.
We have our own laboratory in which the most significant production parameters are tested daily. In addition, independent and accredited laboratories such as those of Applus+ or Eptisa Engineering Services, as well as prestigious European universities such as the University of Cantabria, the University of Navarra or the University of Twente (UT), periodically certify that our products achieve maximum performance.
decontaminating technologies
For PVT, quality is not a matter of minimums but of maximums and this is demonstrated by our star products that enrich our urban landscape in a sustainable way: ecoGranic and ecoDraining.
ecoGranic®
ecoGranic® is the technology developed and registered by PVT, which, implemented in a high-strength precast concrete, actively contributes to the elimination of atmospheric pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM).
In the manufacture of this product, duly recovered urban solid waste and recycled materials from our own production process are used.
ecoGranic products combat pollution through a process similar to plant photosynthesis. They convert harmful gases in the atmosphere into compounds that are harmless to health and the environment through a natural oxidation process that is free of chemical agents and has an inexhaustible effect over time.
ecoDraining®
ecoDraining® is a modular concrete flooring with a very high drainage capacity that also incorporates ecoGranic® decontaminating technology.
It is made of high-resistance concrete with silicon, granite or basaltic aggregates, and is made up of two layers. An upper layer that gives it exceptional aesthetic properties and prevents clogging of the slab, and a lower layer that gives it good mechanical properties.
The placement of ecoDraining to create permeable pavements is one of the most effective techniques of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) due to its lamination and purification capacity of urban runoff. These systems seek to close the natural water cycle and mitigate the urban heat island effect caused by the continuous waterproofing of the soil in cities.
PVT and the Circular Economy
Circular economy at PVT is synonymous with common sense, optimal use of natural and human resources, waste reduction and efficient energy consumption. We conceive circularity from two prisms: the products we manufacture, and the actions that the company carries out in its internal operation.
