Guidewall construction

HS2 London Tunnels

London, United Kingdom

Reported 2022

Basalt reinforcement + low-carbon concrete

Cementation Skanska used basalt reinforcement with low-carbon concrete in temporary guidewalls on HS2’s London Tunnels works.

What the source reports

Skanska reported more than 50% lower embodied carbon for the combined guidewall solution compared with the low-carbon approach already in use, alongside easier material handling.

Construction-road trial

M42 Junction 6

England, United Kingdom

Results published 2022

Basalt fibre reinforced polymer rebar

A Skanska and National Highways trial compared four temporary haul-road slabs using steel or basalt rebar with conventional or low-carbon concrete.

What the source reports

Following construction traffic and laboratory testing, the National Composites Centre reported over 50% lower carbon and comparable resilience for the combined low-carbon concrete and basalt solution.

Coastal promenade

Southsea Coastal Scheme

Portsmouth, United Kingdom

Installation reported September 2026

Basalt fibre reinforcement mesh

VolkerStevin reported installing basalt fibre reinforcement mesh in the new promenade on Frontage 5 East, between Speakers Corner and South Parade Pier.

What the source reports

The contractor highlights resistance to saltwater corrosion as a benefit for this coastal application. This is a recent installation; long-term performance results are not yet reported.

Bridge rehabilitation

Merrick Creek Bridge

Ontario, Canada

Reported 2016

Basalt fibre mesh around concrete girders

A University of Windsor and Essex County collaboration used basalt fibre mesh around repaired concrete girders at Merrick Creek Bridge on County Road 8.

What the source reports

The university documented a field application of basalt mesh for bridge repair. Long-term validation was still needed; the report does not establish a measured service-life extension.

Fibre-modified asphalt

Hengyang–Yongzhou Expressway

Hunan, China

Reported 2025

Basalt fibre in high-modulus asphalt

Hunan’s provincial government describes the use of basalt fibre with high-modulus asphalt on the Hengyang–Yongzhou, or Hengyong, Expressway.

What the source reports

The project profile reports improved resistance to rutting. It provides no quantified comparison or monitoring period, so the example demonstrates adoption without a numerical performance claim.

Historic masonry restoration

San Paolo Eremita Church

Brindisi, Italy

Restoration 2017–2018

Basalt fibre mesh with lime-based mortar

MAPEI’s project report describes strengthening the historic church’s masonry with Mapegrid B 250, a primed, alkali-resistant basalt mesh, embedded in a natural hydraulic lime mortar system.

What the source reports

The completed restoration shows basalt mesh used in a specified masonry strengthening system. The report documents the application without publishing a percentage strength gain.

Industrial concrete floor

Nova Poshta Logistics Centre

Chernihiv, Ukraine

Construction 2020

Chopped basalt fibre in concrete

Technobasalt reports supplying basalt fibre for a 2,700 m² industrial floor at Nova Poshta’s logistics centre, replacing the two layers of steel reinforcement originally specified.

What the source reports

The supplier records a project-specific fibre dosage of 3 kg/m³ and reports meeting the floor’s design requirements with budget savings. It also reports fibre use in the access and loading areas.

Interior finishing panels

Burj Khalifa Interior Panels

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Supply reported for 2009

Basalt fibre in interior cladding panels

Technobasalt reports supplying basalt fibre to reinforce interior cladding panels for the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

What the source reports

This is a documented supplier account of fibre use in decorative finishing materials. Its scope is the interior panels; the report does not describe basalt reinforcement of the tower’s main structure.

Parking surfaces & driveways

Boryspil Airport Parking

Boryspil, Ukraine

Works 2010–2011 and 2018–2019

Basalt fibre reinforced surfaces

Technobasalt reports supplying basalt fibre for indoor and outdoor parking surfaces and driveways at Boryspil Airport, including the Terminal D parking project.

What the source reports

The supplier identifies where the fibre was used and the periods of work. This provides a practical transport-infrastructure example without a published numerical strength comparison.
