Basalt Reinforcement within Seawall Blocks

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Basalt reinforcement is ideal for marine structures, bridges, tunnels, and fire-resistant projects.

Basalt reinforcement was used on this project and offers several key benefits including high strength, being 2-3 times stronger than steel, corrosion resistance – perfect for seawall works, eco-friendly – made from volcanic rock, is recyclable and has lower environmental impact.

Whilst the initial investment might be higher, the long-term savings due to reduced maintenance, longer service life, and improved performance can make basalt reinforcement economically advantageous.

Using basalt reinforcement can contribute to lower carbon emissions in the construction process, aligning with global sustainability goals and regulations. A wide-scale adoption of basalt reinforcement in construction can lead to more durable, sustainable, and cost-effective structures, ultimately benefiting the industry and the environment.
