Unmatched durability and cost-efficiency
The hidden costs of corrosion in concrete infrastructure
- Structural Weakening: Corroded steel reinforcements lead to cracks and failures in concrete structures, significantly shortening their lifespan.
- High Maintenance Costs: Frequent repairs and replacements increase operational expenses and disrupt critical infrastructure operations.
- Environmental Regulations: Stricter laws, like the EU Urban Wastewater Directive, demand durable, sustainable materials to reduce waste and emissions.
- Traditional Steel Limitations: Steel struggles in harsh environments like acidic wastewater and saltwater, making it unsuitable for long-term use.
- The Solution: Non-corrosive reinforcements address these challenges, providing a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative.
A proven solution:
non-corrosive reinforcements
- solidian GRID: Corrosion-free. High tensile strength. Minimal concrete coverage. National technical approval (abZ)
- solidian REBAR: Walkable. Highest performance. Like steel only better.
- solidian ANTICRACK: ANTICRACK Best bonding properties. Smallest crack widths. Liquid-tight.
- solidian REMAT: Efficient reinforcement structure. Variable dimensions. Reinforcement ready for use.
Why choose non-corrosive
reinforcements over steel

frequently asked questions
Yes, in cases where steel reinforcement has corroded, solidian GRID can serve as a substitute for structural reinforcement. The existing corroded steel can remain in place and be covered with a new layer of carbon-reinforced mortar, restoring structural integrity.
When combined with high-quality mortars, solidian GRID significantly enhances the overall durability of the system, providing a robust solution for demanding environments.
Yes, solidian GRID strikes a balance between stiffness and flexibility, allowing it to be applied to curved surfaces with diameters greater than 800mm.
The lightweight nature of solidian GRID facilitates easy transportation, even through sewage tunnels, and simplifies the installation process, reducing labor and equipment requirements.
Yes, a certified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for both solidian GRID and solidian REBAR. The EPD provides transparent and verified information about the environmental impact of these products throughout their life cycle, supporting sustainability assessments in construction projects.
Yes, solidian GRID has obtained the General Building Approval (abZ) from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). This approval authorizes its use as carbon reinforcement grids in construction, ensuring compliance with national building standards.
solidian GRID is versatile and works with a range of binders, including Portland Cement, Calcium Aluminate Cements, and Geopolymer Cements.
solidian GRID holds German Approval as reinforcement for EN 206 concretes, supporting its compatibility with various mortar systems, including those adhering to DIN 19573.
Concrete layers reinforced with solidian GRID can be as thin as 20mm, as no additional concrete cover is needed to protect the reinforcement from corrosion.
Yes, solidian GRID can be applied as an additional layer over existing steel-reinforced concrete. When combined with solidian ANTICRACK, it offers enhanced crack-limiting properties, providing extra protection to the underlying steel reinforcement.
Classified under XWW4, solidian GRID ensures long-term performance for over 50 years, making it a durable choice for long-term infrastructure projects.
solidian GRID is fully resistant to severe acidic conditions, including environments with pH levels as low as 0. It has successfully passed tests in accordance with DIN 19573 standards for pH 0 and pH 1.
solidian GRID enables the design of thinner concrete layers (greater than 20mm) without requiring additional concrete cover for reinforcement protection. This reduction in material usage leads to lower resource consumption and a diminished environmental footprint, supporting more sustainable construction practices.
