The hidden costs of corrosion in concrete infrastructure
- Structural Weakening: Corroded steel reinforcements lead to cracks and failures in concrete structures, significantly shortening their lifespan.
- High Maintenance Costs: Frequent repairs and replacements increase operational expenses and disrupt critical infrastructure operations.
- Environmental Regulations: Stricter laws, like the EU Urban Wastewater Directive, demand durable, sustainable materials to reduce waste and emissions.
- Traditional Steel Limitations: Steel struggles in harsh environments like acidic wastewater and saltwater, making it unsuitable for long-term use.
- The Solution: Non-corrosive reinforcements address these challenges, providing a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative.
Our carbon grids are highly resistant against any acid attack.
Even in severe expositions with Biogenic Sulfur Attack like sewage tunnels or plants no corrosion occurs.
Even the harsh test conditions in DIN 19573 (exposure in pH0 and pH1 environments) are successfully met by our carbon reinforcements without any issues.
This allows classification in the highest exposure class XWW4.
A proven solution:
non-corrosive reinforcements
- solidian GRID: Corrosion-free. High tensile strength. Minimal concrete coverage. National technical approval (abZ)
- solidian REBAR: Walkable. Highest performance. Like steel only better.
- solidian ANTICRACK: ANTICRACK Best bonding properties. Smallest crack widths. Liquid-tight.
- solidian REMAT: Efficient reinforcement structure. Variable dimensions. Reinforcement ready for use.
Why choose non-corrosive
reinforcements over steel
Directly comparison:
- Steel: Corrodes in saltwater and acidic environments, increasing costs.
- Non-Corrosive Reinforcement: Resistant, durable, lightweight, and sustainable.
Common Questions Answered:
