"A groundbreaking construction material that repairs its own cracks using bacteria, enhancing durability and sustainability."
Our Technology
Green Concrete
Our innovation, eco-friendly self-healing concrete, revolutionizes construction by addressing two critical challenges: durability and sustainability. By integrating advanced carbon-capturing materials and self-healing technology, these concrete repairs cracks autonomously, reducing maintenance costs and extending infrastructure lifespan. It actively removes CO₂ from the atmosphere during its lifecycle, significantly lowering carbon footprints.
Green Concrete Technology
Autonomously repair cracks in concretes
The purpose of this innovation is to produce durable, self-healing interlock tiles that can autonomously repair cracks using embedded bacteria, thereby reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of paved surfaces. This ensures a more sustainable and cost-effective solution for modern construction needs, particularly in areas subject to wear and tear.

How the intended Customers should use it
Installation
Install the interlock tiles like conventional tiles, ensuring proper placement
and alignment for desired patterns or surfaces.
Maintenance
No special care is needed; the tiles will automatically heal small cracks
when exposed to water.
Applications
Ideal for driveways, walkways, public plazas, and any areas requiring
durable and low-maintenance paved surfaces.
