Basalt World Corp

american infrastructure was recently given a d+ rating by the american society of civil engineers. the same failing grade awarded to the country back in the 2013 report card. the nation’s association of civil engineers quoted that “the nation’s roads, dams, airports, water and electrical systems need $4.6 trillion of work”. this is because we use black steel rebar to reinforce the brittle nature concrete. due to concretes porous nature water gets inside causing the reinforcement to rust, when black steel rusts it doubles in size, eventually cracking concrete structures costing tax payers around the world billions of dollars a year in infrastructure repair. the solution to spending trillions of dollars in concrete repair costs is to replace traditional black steel rebar with bfrp composite rebar (rebar made from basalt fiber reinforced polymer). when bfrp composite rebar is used in place of steel rebar the basalt is 2.5 times stronger (in tension) while weighing just 1/4th the weight,
