ECOncrete®
An environmentally sensitive concrete solution that enhance the biological and ecological value of urban, coastal and marine structures.
ECOncrete® provides a revolutionary science-based approach to eco-engineering.
ECOncrete® is a series of concrete mixes and science-based designs which provide suitable biological and environmental conditions for the development of rich and diverse floral and faunal communities, while providing structural function and complying with all standards for marine construction. The solution is also providing robust, environmentally sensitive concrete solutions for the ever-growing Climate Change threats such as sea-level rise and superstorms. The core innovation is a suite of science-based bio-enhancing concrete admixtures, complex surface textures, and 3D designs that act in synergy to increase the ecological value of breakwaters, seawalls, pier piles and alike, while improving their structural performance. The technology was validated through numerous prolonged evaluation studies conducted simultaneously in temperate and tropical environments, exhibiting good results.
