Kleihues Betonbauteile

What Kleihues Betonbauteile does

Kleihues Betonbauteile Gmb & Co. KG is a third-generation, family-owned German manufacturer of customised precast reinforced concrete components for civil and structural engineering, operating approximately 250 employees across three production facilities in Emsbüren, Oranienbaum (near Dessau), and Sennfeld (near Schweinfurt). The core technology is factory-based precast production using the contact procedure (Kontaktverfahren) with continuous quality control, producing steel-reinforced frame components (Stahlbeton-Rahmenbauteile), shaft structures (Schachtbauwerke), tunnel elements (Tunnelelemente), U-channels (Stahlbeton-U-Kanäle), and underground container systems (UCOR, manufactured partly from recycled concrete aggregate). Differentiated features include the PDK (prüfbare Doppelkeilgleitdichtung) testable elastomer joint system compliant with DIN EN 1610, factory-installed elastomer sealing for DB railway culverts, and the Modulo modular two-level recycling-centre system with reusable precast elements.

Core offering

Kleihues Betonbauteile is a German manufacturer of custom precast reinforced concrete elements for civil and structural engineering. The company produces five core product lines—UCOR underground containers, SB-Rahmenbauteile (frame components), Schachtbauwerke (shaft structures), Tunnelelemente (tunnel elements), and Stahlbeton-U-Kanäle (U-channels)—for infrastructure projects including railway/road crossings, stormwater management, waste collection, and energy transmission. Products are custom-manufactured per project specification from three German facilities and delivered nationwide and to neighbouring countries.

Product overview

Kleihues Betonbauteile produces concrete precast elements for civil engineering and infrastructure construction in its third generation. The product portfolio consists of five core offerings: (1) UCOR underground containers made from recycling concrete for waste collection; (2) SB-Rahmenbauteile reinforced concrete frame components for retention basins, drainage passages, and utility tunnels; (3) Schachtbauwerke shaft structures for pipeline access; (4) Tunnelelemente prefabricated tunnel elements for underpasses; and (5) Stahlbeton-U-Kanäle U-shaped reinforced concrete channels. These products serve applications including stormwater management, railway/road crossings, waste collection infrastructure, and utility routing across municipal, transport, and energy infrastructure projects throughout Germany and neighboring countries.

Brands

• Modulo: Modular building system for waste collection facilities, featuring two-level waste reception with prefabricated concrete elements
• UCOR

Products and services

• UCOR – Unterflurcontainer aus Recyclingbeton (Underground Container System) Underground container systems for waste collection, produced from recycled concrete aggregate. Requires two-thirds less surface area than conventional containers, provides accessibility, fire safety, odor reduction, pest control, and attractive design. Targeted at municipalities and waste management operators.
• Stahlbeton-Rahmenbauteile (SB-Rahmenbauteile) – Reinforced Concrete Frame Components Reinforced concrete frame components forming storage tanks and retention basins for rainwater, utility water, and wastewater. Used as ducts and passages under roads and railways, as well as for walkable utility tunnels and pedestrian/cycle underpasses. Targeted at municipal infrastructure and civil engineering contractors.
• Schachtbauwerke (Shaft Structures) Shaft structures connecting pipelines and providing access to underground infrastructure. Manufactured in element construction for efficient assembly and reduced traffic disruption. Used by municipalities and utility providers for sewer systems and pipeline networks.
• Tunnelelemente (Tunnel Elements) Tunnel elements for crossing structures under traffic routes (roads and railways), available in rectangular cross-sections and larger dimensions, produced in prefabricated construction. Used for railway underpasses, road crossings, and pedestrian/cycle tunnels. Targeted at railway operators, road authorities, and civil engineering contractors.
• Stahlbeton-U-Kanäle (Reinforced Concrete U-Channels) Reinforced concrete U-channels for channelized water flow and cable/utility routing in civil engineering applications. Used for open-channel water conveyance, stormwater management, and utility routing. Targeted at municipalities and infrastructure developers.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Modulo Wertstoffhöfe GmbHcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerModulo Wertstoffhöfe GmbH (based in Stadtlohn) developed the Modulo modular recycling centre system. Kleihues manufactures the prefabricated concrete elements for this system. This is a co-developed, strategic partnership where Kleihues serves as the exclusive or primary precast concrete manufacturer for the Modulo brand. The system enables two-level recycling centres using U-shaped concrete elements with hollow undersides for dual land use. Kleihues products for Modulo feature prominently across multiple recycling centre projects (Delmenhorst, Paderborn, Herne).
• KÖNIGBAU GmbHminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerKÖNIGBAU GmbH from Kesselsdorf was the construction contractor for the Durchlass Blumenberg railway culvert project. Kleihues supplied precast tunnel elements; KÖNIGBAU handled civil works and installation. Collaborative relationship on DB Netz AG projects.
• IQ Ingenieurgesellschaft Quadriga mbHminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerPlanning engineers for Aero-Park 1 Würselen project. Kleihues supplied precast frame components; IQ Quadriga handled hydraulic design and project planning for the stormwater management system.
• GRE German Rail Engineering GmbHminorImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerPlanning office for the Durchlass Blumenberg railway project. Kleihues manufactured the precast tunnel elements; GRE German Rail Engineering handled the overall engineering design for the 97-metre culvert replacement under four railway tracks.
• VTW Vortriebstechnik Weiss GmbHcoreTechnology or IntegrationVTW Vortriebstechnik Weiss GmbH from Hünxe specialises in rectangular pipe jacking (rechteckige Rohrvortriebe). For the Medientunnel Hagen project, VTW performed the actual pipe jacking operation using Kleihues rectangular precast tunnel segments (4.20m × 3.50m) pushed under Autobahn A1 — a technically pioneering application. This partnership enables Kleihues to offer complete rectangular tunnelling solutions.
