Technology

Our concrete technology consists of the patented additive and surface improvement, widely documented to create valuable habitat for marine life to thrive.

Patented Bio-enhancing Admixture

At the core of ECOncrete solutions is our patented additive that adapts locally sourced concrete for marine organisms to settle (while lowering also the concrete’s CO2 footprint). Our admix is applied in combination with surface agents for optimized habitat design.

Proven Nature-Inclusive Designs

The surface and structural design is informed by local ecosystem conditions and hydraulic stability requirements. We apply nature-based design principles, continuously optimizing our solutions according to long-term monitoring results.

Data & Reporting

ECOncrete technology and solutions are supported by a wealth of engineering and ecological data from real-life deployments and testing. Reach out to our team for case studies, physical model tests and biological monitoring data.

Leading Since 2012

Tested at world leading research institutions for hydraulic stability  and performance. Over a decade of research and data is available to document and predict performance.

Structural Integrity

Compressive strength, dropped object impact resistance, freeze-thaw tests, durability assessments – ECOncrete solutions are certified to meet all relevant structural integrity standards.

International Concrete Standards

Our solutions are certified to perform in the challenging marine environment: USA ASTM C494; ASTM C1262-98 (Freeze-Thaw Durability);  ASTM C1202-12; UK/EU BS/EN 206 EN 934-1 2008 EN 934-2: 2009 + A1:2012; AUS AS 1478.1-2000 (R2018)

Lifespan & Performance

50 years minimum infrastructure lifespan,  reduced maintenance, and  healthy marine ecosystems – ECOncrete solutions benefit ecosystems and communities for generations to come.
