Frequently Asked Questions

How does biology affect hydrodynamic stability? Do you have data?
A rough defensive layer of marine life like oysters and tubeworms encrusts ECOncrete, helping to dissipate wave energy, buffer hydrodynamic forces, and adding stabilizing weight. For data on a specific solution, send us a message.
Why wouldn’t I get the same ecological value by building with rock?
Bluestone or quarry rock have dense and homogeneous surfaces—leading to less life, more invasive species, and lower biodiversity. ECOncrete mimics natural coastal features, offering native habitat, shelter, and breeding spaces.
Are there cost savings when using ECOncrete?
Living infrastructure lowers environmental mitigation penalties by providing habitat, carbon storage, greater biodiversity, and protection of native species. In one U.S. project, mitigation penalties were reduced by approximately 80%, or about $15 million.
Is ECOncrete reinforced?
Units using ECOncrete’s technologies can be either steel or fiber reinforced depending on project requirements. ECOncrete’s admixture has been proven to reduce chloride penetration, serving to protect steel reinforcement members.
