Applications

ECOncrete technology is used in marine construction projects from ports to urban waterfronts and from coastal protection to offshore assets.

Designed for local impact

Answering project requirements we provide proprietary eco-engineered units or facilitate ecological uplift in third-party design – from blocks to seawalls to standard units such as Tetrapods – enabling any marine construction project to provide long-term ecological uplift (Image: Marina pier block enhanced with ECOncrete technology, Spain 2022).

Globally deployed by local supply chains

Our technology enables local construction supply chains to build marine infrastructure that delivers resilience and long term benefits. Ecological value is embedded in marine infrastructure such as cable protection solutions for subsea cables (Image: ECOncrete Marine Mattresses deployed in Long Island Sound, USA 2020).
