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.

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 promenadeSouthsea 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 rehabilitationMerrick Creek Bridge

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 asphaltHengyang–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 restorationSan 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.

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.

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 & drivewaysBoryspil 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.
Independent industry examples, including supplier-reported applications. Findings relate to each project’s materials and design. Reported carbon savings reflect combined concrete and reinforcement systems. Project dosages are descriptions of those projects, not specifications for other mixes.
