Due to addition of Basilisk Healing Agent to the concrete the walls will be able to heal itself when cracking occurs. The system is based on bacteria which, when subjected to water contact, will precipitate limestone which will gradually seals the cracks. The technology has been developed at the TU Delft and has been applied in practice due to the corporation of BAM Infra and Basilisk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The basin is tank constructed out of four concrete walls. The basin has a length of 47 meters, a width of 5.5 meters and a height of 5 meters. Two walls has been constructed with plain concrete, whereas the other walls has been constructed with the addition of Basilisk Healing Agent.<\/p>\n<p>During the construction there has been no noticeable difference observed in the workability of the Self-healing concrete mixture compared to the plain mixture. Also tests show that there has been no significant difference in the strength development comparing both mixtures (mixtures where identical except the addition of the Self-healing additive).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-1 hundred-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: 0px;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-0 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><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;\">\n<div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"Bluswaterbassin herstelt zichzelf door zelfhelend beton\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M7i_Xv9tWnw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12961\" src=\"http:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners.jpg\" alt=\"Samenwerking_Partners\" width=\"992\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners-200x23.jpg 200w, https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners-300x34.jpg 300w, https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners-400x46.jpg 400w, https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners-600x68.jpg 600w, https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners-768x87.jpg 768w, https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners-800x91.jpg 800w, https:\/\/basiliskconcrete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Samenwerking_Partners.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-fullwidth.fusion-builder-row-1 { overflow:visible; }<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A water basin of Port of Rotterdam has been constructed with special concrete walls.
