Efficiency for Your Workflow
Your time is invaluable. UHPC panels require little to no onsite cutting, making installation faster and more efficient. This time-saving feature lets you concentrate more on your design and less on logistical challenges, bringing your creative vision to life more quickly and accurately.
Reliable Precision and Safety
Safety and precision are non-negotiable. UHPC panels feature coordinated lifting points, enhancing safety and ease of installation. This feature ensures your team can work confidently, knowing each panel fits perfectly within your design framework.
Natural Aesthetic Harmony
A facade panel should be more than functional; it should be a work of art. UHPC panels are crafted with thoughtful batching and tonal variations, creating a natural, cohesive look. The method of “shifting” eliminates the risk of repetition and ensures a visually captivating result that enhances your architectural vision.
Sophisticated and Sleek Finishes
Incorporating sleek, black powder-coated rails adds a touch of modern refinement to your design. This sophisticated finish enhances the overall aesthetic, making your project stand out in any environment.
Custom Design Flexibility
UHPC panels can be customized with integrally cast 3D shapes, fins, or baguettes, giving you the creative freedom to push architectural boundaries. Unique aesthetics and functional options like perforated panels can enhance your overall design’s visual and functional aspects.
Durability and Reliability

Quality and longevity are the cornerstones of UHPC. Reinforced with PVA fibers that do not degrade over time, UHPC panels ensure your designs’ structural integrity and lasting beauty. Consistent reinforcement means you can rely on the stability and durability of your project for years to come.
At Envel, we are committed to providing materials that seamlessly combine quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) panels are designed to do just that. Incorporating UHPC into your next project can streamline your design process and elevate the overall outcome.
Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an advanced, high-strength concrete incorporating small, high-strength steel or synthetic fibers. This innovative blend not only eliminates the need for traditional rebar but also extends span lengths and reduces reinforcement requirements. Our precast concrete panels showcase unmatched strength and durability, making them ideal for architectural applications such as cladding and facade panels.
Gage Brothers specializes in delivering sustainable concrete solutions that meet the highest industry standards. Our UHPC panels are engineered with precision, offering exceptional performance in terms of load-bearing capacity and resilience. With a potential life expectancy exceeding 100 years, UHPC represents the forefront of modern construction materials.
Explore our range of UHPC products designed for architects and builders seeking cutting-edge concrete design solutions. Whether you’re looking for lightweight concrete panels, durable architectural concrete, or innovative concrete technology, our products promise to elevate your projects with unmatched quality and aesthetic appeal.

Situated on a historic riverfront campus, The Steel District Office project has emerged as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in the realm of mixed-use office buildings. A defining feature is its utilization of UHPC beams to eliminate interior columns, enabling unparalleled design customization and flexibility.
In conventional high-rise construction, 36-foot-long beams are supported by vertical columns. However, UHPC revolutionizes this process, enabling the creation of structures with double the span lengths with zero interior supports.
This total precast project encompasses precast concrete elements, including 86 UHPC beams that support the entire 175,000-square-foot structure. This innovative structural system, combined with expansive windows and open floor plans, ensures an unparalleled user experience characterized by abundant natural light, panoramic views, and adaptable spaces conducive to modern work environments.
“If you’re a tenant divided between a building that gives you complete layout flexibility and one that doesn’t — isn’t your choice intuitive? The value to the developer and the tenants speaks for itself.”
Keith Thompson, Principal Architect, Koch Hazard Architects
Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln conducted an experimental investigation to evaluate the flexural and shear capacities of a new precast/prestressed ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) box beam with cast-in-place (CIP) concrete topping. Two separate tests were conducted on a beam with five 2 ft x 1 ft voids through the webs at the middle third for utilities.
UHPC is ideal for extreme environments, such as areas that experience very low temperature or wet areas and high stress locations like bridges, tunnels and towers. It also allows for the use of thinner panels and support structures while providing superior strength and reliability. UHPC is the next generation of concrete enabling engineers to use smaller sections for longer spans and greater load resistance with less reinforcement.
