WE HARNESS<br />

THE FIRE<br />

TO CONTROL THE SEA<br />

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE COULD REPLACE STEEL<br />

AS REINFORCEMENT WITH SOMETHING NON-CORROSIVE?<br />

A couple of years ago we asked ourselves this question and a long process was started. After a couple of years<br />

of development, a patent was applied for covering a new production method using Basalt as reinforcement.<br />

Basalt is volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava. Basalt Rebar reinforcement is an alternative<br />

to steel for reinforcing concrete, basalt rebar is tough, stronger than steel and has a higher tensile strength.<br />

Basalt rebar is naturally resistant to alkali, rust and acids, therefore perfect for Marine environments.<br />
