混凝土是全球使用最广泛的人造材料。随着建筑环境寻求减少碳足迹，人们的关注点正转向这种材料本身的生产和使用方式。
Concrete is the most widely used man-made material in the world. As the built environment looks to reduce its carbon footprint, attention is turning to how the material itself is made and used.
泛联集团是亚洲（不含中国）前五大混凝土供应商之一，正通过材料和技术创新来应对这一问题。去年The Skywaters筏板基础大规模浇筑施工中，该公司连续35小时每两分钟交付一卡车混凝土。该项目还使用了特种等级混凝土，如泛联专有的PanU超高强度混凝土，减少了所需混凝土用量，进而降低了基础的碳足迹。
Pan-United Corporation one of the top five concrete suppliers in Asia excluding China, is addressing this through innovation in materials and technology. At the mass pour for the construction of The Skywaters’ raft foundation last year, the company delivered a truckload of concrete every two minutes for 35 hours non-stop. The project also used specialised grades such as Pan-United’s proprietary PanU Super Hi-Strength concrete, reducing the amount of concrete required and, in turn, the carbon footprint of the foundation.
这一作业反映了历时二十余年的转型。泛联曾主要以预拌混凝土生产商闻名，如今已发展成为一家以创新为主导的混凝土公司，开发先进材料、数字技术和低碳解决方案。
The operation reflects a transformation more than two decades in the making. Once known primarily as a ready-mix concrete producer, Pan-United has evolved into an innovation-led concrete company developing advanced materials, digital technologies and lower-carbon solutions.
“我们希望成为全球混凝土技术的领导者，利用混凝土帮助建设更具韧性、更可持续和更低能耗的城市。”——潘联合公司首席执行官罗肯先生双线创新首席执行官罗肯表示，公司很早就认识到，保持竞争力意味着不能局限于传统的预拌混凝土。“当我们开始以不同方式思考业务时，出现了两个机遇，”他说，“一个是产品创新——开发更好、更可持续的混凝土解决方案。另一个是流程创新——重新思考我们如何生产和交付这些解决方案。”
“WE WANT TO BECOME A GLOBAL CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY LEADER THAT USES CONCRETE TO HELP BUILD MORE RESILIENT, SUSTAINABLE AND LOWER-CARBON CITIES.”– MR KEN LOH, CEO, PAN-UNITED CORPORATION INNOVATION ON TWO FRONTS CEO Ken Loh said the company recognised early that staying relevant meant looking beyond conventional ready-mix concrete. “Once we started thinking differently about the business, two opportunities emerged,” he said. “One was product innovation – developing better, more sustainable concrete solutions. The other was process innovation – rethinking how we produce and deliver these solutions.”
产品创新始于2001年的研发工作，旨在减少水泥用量，这比低碳建筑成为全球优先事项早了多年。除了扩大低碳胶凝材料的使用范围，潘联合还开发了PanU超高强度混凝土等特种等级产品。这些产品使用更少的混凝土，可以进一步帮助减少建筑和基础设施项目的碳足迹。
Product innovation began with research and development to reduce cement use in 2001, years before low-carbon construction became a global priority. Besides widening the use of lower-carbon cementitious materials, Pan-United also developed specialised grades such as PanU Super Hi-Strength concrete. These use less concrete and can further help reduce the carbon footprint of building and infrastructure projects.
公司于2014年开始数字化运营，以应对日益复杂的业务。由于混凝土的可施工时间仅有短短两小时，每天数千车次不同配合比的交付必须精确计时和协调。
The company began digitising its operations in 2014 to manage the growing complexity of its business. As concrete remains workable within a narrow two-hour window, thousands of truckload deliveries across different mix designs have to be precisely timed and coordinated each day.
为应对持续的运营压力，公司开发了AiR Digital。这个最初作为内部运营平台开发的系统，如今已扩展至支持亚洲混凝土和物流行业不断增长的客户群。“我们把自己的运营挑战解决得非常好，以至于从中创建了一项技术业务，”罗肯先生说。
To tackle the constant operational pressures, the company developed AiR Digital What began as an in-house operations platform has since expanded to support a growing customer base across the concrete and logistics sectors in Asia. “We solved our own operational challenges so well that we created a technology business from it,” said Mr Loh.
潘联合在其指挥中心使用AiR Digital来管理每天超过4000次交付背后的复杂物流。
From its Command Centre, Pan-United uses AiR Digital to manage the complex logistics behind more than 4,000 daily deliveries.
改变思维模式，而不仅仅是材料 全球每年使用约300亿吨混凝土，使其成为世界上使用最广泛的人造材料。尽管水泥作为原材料在典型混凝土混合物中仅占约15%，但其生产估计产生了全球7%至8%的二氧化碳排放。然而，任何减少水泥的努力都必须首先满足一个性能和安全性不容妥协的行业。
CHANGING MINDSETS, NOT JUST MATERIALS Globally, around 30 billion tonnes of concrete are used each year, making it the world’s most widely used man-made material. Although cement as a raw material accounts for only about 15 per cent of a typical concrete mix, its production generates an estimated 7 to 8 per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Yet any effort to reduce cement must first satisfy an industry where performance and safety cannot be compromised.
“建筑业自然是一个保守的行业，因为建筑和基础设施必须安全、可靠且经久耐用，”卢先生说。“新材料或新技术必须首先证明其具备同等的强度、耐久性和质量标准，才能获得行业认可。”这意味着要挑战一个长期存在的假设：混凝土是一种大宗商品。泛联集团则将其视为一种工程材料。“每个项目都有不同的需求，每种混凝土配合比都可以设计以实现特定的结构、耐久性和可持续性目标，”他补充道。
“Construction is naturally a conservative industry because buildings and infrastructure are expected to be safe, reliable and built to last,” said Mr Loh. “New materials or technologies must first demonstrate the same standards of strength, durability and quality before they can gain industry acceptance.”That meant challenging a long-held assumption: that concrete is a commodity. Pan-United instead approached it as an engineered material. “Every project has different requirements, and every concrete mix can be designed to achieve specific structural, durability and sustainability outcomes,” he added.
从低碳材料到降温混凝土，泛联集团内部的创新中心开发解决方案，以应对建筑环境中不断涌现的挑战。下一步是扭转低碳混凝土以牺牲性能为代价的观念。
From lower-carbon materials to cooling concrete, Pan-United’s in-house Innovation Centre develops solutions to tackle emerging challenges in the built environment. The next step was overturning the perception that lower-carbon concrete comes at the expense of performance.
泛联集团表示，其低碳混凝土解决方案如今已能匹配——在某些情况下甚至超越——传统混凝土的强度和耐久性。
Pan-United said its low-carbon concrete solutions can now match – and in some cases exceed – the strength and durability of conventional concrete.
PanU CMC+就是一个例子。它利用碳捕集与利用技术，将捕获的二氧化碳矿化于混凝土中，在减少水泥用量的同时提高强度。该技术现已应用于多个重大项目，包括大士港、跨岛线、樟宜机场第五航站楼和The Skywaters。
PanU CMC+ is one example. It uses carbon capture and utilisation technology to mineralise captured carbon dioxide within concrete, reducing cement consumption while improving strength. The technology is now used in major projects, including Tuas Port, the Cross Island Line, Changi Airport Terminal 5 and The Skywaters.
The Skywaters将成为新加坡最高的建筑，它体现了泛联集团如何利用材料和数字创新来满足日益复杂的建筑需求。
The Skywaters, which is set to be Singapore’s tallest building, reflects how Pan-United is using material and digital innovation to meet increasingly complex construction needs.
泛联集团（Pan-United）内部的创新中心持续扩大公司的产品组合。其最新创新成果之一是PanU Hi-Albedo，旨在帮助缓解城市热岛效应。这种特种混凝土有助于降低道路、人行道和自行车道的表面温度，并降低室外环境温度。
Pan-United’s in-house Innovation Centre continues to expand the company’s portfolio. One of its latest innovations is PanU Hi-Albedo developed to help mitigate the urban heat island effect. This specialised concrete helps reduce surface temperatures on roads, walkways and cycling paths, and lowers outdoor ambient temperatures.
2022年，该公司成为亚洲首家提供按需环境产品声明（EPD）的混凝土公司，为客户提供经独立验证的数据，用于材料选择和可持续发展报告。
In 2022, the company became the first concrete company in Asia to offer on-demand Environmental Product Declarations, giving customers independently verified data for material selection and sustainability reporting.

*Compared with conventional concrete (Source: Pan-United Corporation) NO COMPANY TRANSFORMS ALONE Innovation rarely succeeds in isolation, said Mr Loh. “For technology to create meaningful value, it must be technically proven, commercially viable and trusted by customers, regulators and the wider industry.”
投资创新也要求泛联集团向投资者传达其长期战略。通过定期披露和投资者参与活动，包括新交所（SGX）牵头的会议和论坛，该公司力求阐明对创新和技术的投资如何支持其战略和未来增长。
Investing in innovation has also required Pan-United to communicate its longer-term strategy to investors. Through regular disclosures and investor engagement, including SGX-led conferences and forums, the company has sought to explain how investments in innovation and technology support its strategy and future growth.
“一个强有力的增长故事必须有持续的执行力作为支撑，”罗先生说。“我们的职责是清晰地传达这个故事，让投资者不仅了解我们当前的业绩，还能了解我们正在创造的长期价值。我们的方向很明确——实现建筑环境的脱碳，并成为低碳混凝土技术的全球领导者。”
“A strong growth story must be supported by consistent execution,” said Mr Loh. “Our role is to communicate that story clearly, so investors understand not only our current performance, but also the long-term value we are creating. Our direction is clear – to decarbonise the built environment and to become the global leader in low-carbon concrete technologies.”
价值释放之旅 新交所-新加坡金融管理局（SGX-MAS）价值释放计划旨在帮助企业采取结构化方法来识别、沟通和实现长期价值。这一过程通常分为三个阶段：
THE VALUE UNLOCK JOURNEY SGX-MAS Value Unlock initiative helps companies take a structured approach to identifying, communicating and realising long-term value. The journey typically unfolds in three stages:
- 诊断与评估审查业务战略、资本效率和市场定位，以确定哪些价值可能被低估或未得到充分开发。
- Diagnosis and assessment Review business strategy, capital efficiency and market positioning to identify where value may be underrecognised or underdeveloped.
- 战略构建制定清晰的增长路线图，完善公司的股权故事，并加强投资者沟通。
- Strategy building Develop a clear roadmap for growth, sharpen the company’s equity story and strengthen investor communications.
- 市场拓展通过有针对性地接触基金经理、经纪商、行业网络及媒体，以及安排公司实地参观，向投资者传递这一故事。
- Market engagement Bring that story to investors through targeted engagement with fund managers, brokers, industry networks and the media, as well as company site visits.
“创造持久价值的企业，往往是那些在变化成为必然之前就预见并应对变化的企业。通过价值释放，企业可以挑战传统思维，识别新的机遇，并为未来的增长做好布局。”——新加坡交易所集团资本市场发展主管陈坤宏先生。展望未来，罗先生认为，行业面临的最大挑战——从劳动力短缺到气候变化——也将带来最大的机遇。随着开发商和行业利益相关者更加重视可持续性，对低碳建筑材料的需求预计将增长，而自动化、电气化和数字技术将在提高生产力方面发挥更大作用。
“THE COMPANIES THAT CREATE LASTING VALUE ARE OFTEN THOSE THAT ANTICIPATE CHANGE BEFORE IT BECOMES A NECESSITY. THROUGH VALUE UNLOCK, COMPANIES CAN CHALLENGE CONVENTIONAL THINKING, IDENTIFY NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND POSITION THEMSELVES FOR FUTURE GROWTH.” – MR CHAN KUM KONG, HEAD OF CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT, SGX GROUP Looking ahead, Mr Loh believes the industry’s biggest challenges – from labour shortages to climate change – will also create its biggest opportunities. As developers and industry stakeholders place greater emphasis on sustainability, demand for low-carbon construction materials is expected to grow, while automation, electrification and digital technologies will play a bigger role in improving productivity.
泛联集团（Pan-United）打算继续在这两个领域进行投资：扩大其低碳混凝土解决方案的产品组合，同时将其运营专长拓展至其他行业。
Pan-United intends to continue investing on both fronts: expanding its portfolio of low-carbon concrete solutions while bringing its operational expertise to other sectors.
“尽管混凝土帮助人类文明建设了数千年，但我们相信它的未来从未如此令人振奋，”罗先生说。“创新、可持续性和技术将塑造这一未来。但技术只是赋能者——真正做出明智决策、建立信任关系并将想法转化为持久价值的，是人。”发布日期：2026年9月25日图片：新传媒3号摄影棚、泛联集团增长的新基石探索泛联集团如何结合材料、技术和数字解决方案的创新，助力塑造建筑环境的未来。了解更多
