Frequently Asked Questions
This FAQ answers common questions about our low-carbon concrete structures, their benefits, and how they fit seamlessly into your construction timeline and needs.
What does your company offer?
We specialise in the end-to-end production of prefabricated, low-carbon concrete structures for large-scale infrastructure projects. Our offering combines in-house structural design expertise, sustainable concrete mix innovation, advanced large-scale 3D printing, and strategically located microfactories for ensuring rapid, local delivery while maximising environmental benefits.
Who can benefit from your technology?
Infrastructure contractors, asset owners, and developers delivering projects in water and wastewater, energy and renewables, data centres, and transportation can all benefit from our technology. If you’re looking to improve build quality, accelerate timelines, reduce costs, and meet sustainability targets in concrete construction, our solutions are built for you.
What types of concrete structures do you deliver?
We manufacture a range of structural elements including optimised foundations, distribution chambers, split-flow chambers and draw-pits. Learn more about our products’ technical detail here.
Are your products custom-designed?
Yes. We work closely with your engineering team to deliver custom or modular structures tailored to project specifications, site conditions, and regulatory requirements.
What types of projects are your products used for?
Our structures are designed for energy infrastructure (wind, solar, transmission), water management, ports, rail, and industrial developments requiring efficient and sustainable construction solutions.
How do your solutions help reduce project costs?
By manufacturing off-site with precision, we reduce on-site labour and material waste, streamline installation, and accelerate project timelines, delivering significant cost savings and increased efficiency.
How do you ensure high quality and performance?
We design all structural elements in compliance with local building codes and relevant standards, including Eurocode EN 1990 and EN 1992. The concrete materials we develop and use meet the requirements of EN 206.
Every product and material undergoes a rigorous testing regime to ensure proven durability, structural performance, and environmental resistance. Our processes are supported by independent third-party validation, including certification by Eurofins.
Does your approach improve site safety?
Our approach enhances safety by reducing on-site labour and construction duration through off-site manufacturing. From detailed planning to strict production controls and behavioural protocols, we prioritise a safe environment for all involved.
Our commitment to health and safety goes beyond compliance. We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, with embedded systems for governance, monitoring, and workforce training. Routine health risk assessments and proactive measures help prevent work-related incidents, ensuring everyone gets home safely at the end of each day. Learn more here.
What makes your concrete low-carbon?
We reduce embodied carbon through optimised structural design and our own low-carbon concrete mix innovation, a research project funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC).
How much carbon reduction can I expect?
Depending on project needs, we typically achieve up to 75% lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional concrete.
Do your structures meet green building standards?
Yes. We provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and carbon data upon request.
Do you handle transportation and logistics?
No, we coordinate end-to-end logistics in partnership with trusted logistics providers. Completed units arrive with pre-installed lifting points and a detailed lift plan for safer, on-site implementation by contractors. You can learn more about the whole process here.
How do you ensure product quality and compliance?
Our unique approach combines 3D-printed permanent formwork with optimised rebar cages, which are then cast using traditional concrete. This innovative method allows us to meet or exceed all local building codes and regulations.
We design all structures in compliance with relevant standards, including Eurocode EN 1990 and EN 1992. The materials we develop and use adhere strictly to EN 206 specifications. Every product and material undergoes a rigorous testing regime to verify durability and performance.
Furthermore, our commitment to quality and safety is demonstrated by our certifications: ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety). Learn more about our code compliance here.
Can your components be integrated into traditional construction workflows?
Yes. Our prefabricated structures are designed using a Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach, ensuring seamless compatibility with both conventional and modern site assembly practices.
How do we start a project with you?
Collaboration begins with identifying elements in which Hyperion’s 3D printing design and manufacturing technique can bring benefits in material, CO2 and programme savings. Hyperion has an existing catalogue of products, but can also design and manufacture bespoke, code-compliant elements, with calculation reports to be approved by the client.
What are your lead times?
Lead times vary based on scope, location and volume. After a finalised design, a catalogue product can be delivered within 4-8 weeks, while a bespoke element can be delivered within 6-10 weeks.
Where do you operate?
We deliver across Europe, with production facilities strategically located in Finland and the UK to serve key infrastructure hubs efficiently and sustainably
