The technology works with micro-organisms that produce limestone. In this way, the durability of the concrete is greatly improved. Self-healing concrete is available in various products for new concrete constructions and for the repair of existing concrete constructions.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"custom-faq-item\"><span class=\"question \"><span class=\"question--text\">Is self-healing concrete sustainable?<\/span><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"answer\">Self-healing concrete from Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete is a lot more sustainable than traditional concrete, especially when the waterproofing of concrete is required. For example, 40% less reinforcement is needed and the CO2 footprint is reduced by 30-50%. In addition, self-healing concrete is durable and future maintenance costs are lower than with traditional concrete.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"custom-faq-item\"><span class=\"question \"><span class=\"question--text\">Is concrete sustainable?<\/span><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"answer\">Whether or not concrete is sustainable depends on the context in which this question is asked. Concrete lasts for many years and from that perspective it is sustainable. But concrete is also a major source of pollution and responsible for at least 5% of CO2 emissions worldwide. Self-healing concrete is a more sustainable alternative to traditional concrete for various reasons.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 50px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h1>Waterproof concrete FAQ<\/h1>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><div class=\"custom-faq\"><div class=\"custom-faq-item\"><span class=\"question open\"><span class=\"question--text\"> Is concrete waterproof?<\/span><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"answer\">Concrete is not waterproof. One of the properties of concrete is that it cracks and through those cracks leaking occurs. In addition, concrete has a certain porosity so it needs sufficient thickness to resist water. Several solutions are available for waterproofing concrete.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"custom-faq-item\"><span class=\"question \"><span class=\"question--text\">Is self-healing concrete waterproof?<\/span><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"answer\">Self-healing concrete is waterproof. This is because cracks in the concrete repair themselves as soon as they occur. As a result, leakages stop automatically and special coatings or waterproof membranes can usually be omitted.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"custom-faq-item\"><span class=\"question \"><span class=\"question--text\">How to waterproof concrete?<\/span><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"answer\">One of the properties of concrete is that it cracks.
