WE HARNESS THE FIRE TO CONTROL THE SEA MEET US AT BOOTH #142 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE COULD REPLACE STEEL AS REINFORCEMENT WITH SOMETHING NON-CORROSIVE? A couple of years ago we asked ourselves this question and a long process was started. After a couple of years of development, a patent was applied for covering a new production method using Basalt as reinforcement. Basalt is volcanic rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava.
