Problem
Steel rebar used in concrete infrastructure is susceptible to corrosion, leading to structural degradation and requiring costly maintenance or replacement. Traditional methods of preventing corrosion are often expensive and can contribute to high carbon emissions during construction.
Solution
Allium Engineering has developed a coated rebar technology that prevents steel corrosion in concrete, extending the lifespan of infrastructure. Their stainless steel cladding process significantly reduces the need for maintenance and replacement, leading to lower lifecycle costs. The technology also reduces the amount of steel and concrete required in construction, resulting in a substantial decrease in carbon emissions compared to traditional methods.
Target Audience
The primary customers are construction companies, civil engineering firms, and government agencies involved in building and maintaining concrete infrastructure.
Features
- Stainless steel cladding that eliminates steel corrosion in concrete structures
- Extends the lifespan of infrastructure by up to 100 years
- Reduces the need for maintenance and replacement, lowering lifecycle costs
- Reduces steel and concrete consumption by two-thirds
- Results in a two-thirds reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional rebar
