Project Case Studies
Real-world applications of Basilisk self-healing concrete technology across infrastructure, commercial, and industrial projects worldwide.
Not a Basement nor Tunnel, but an Aquarium with Self-Healing Concrete
Instead of pouring Self-Healing Concrete at one of its traditional applications like a basement or infrastructure object, Salverda Bouw used the technology for the ARTIS-Aquarium. As part of a large renovation project, ARTIS | Natura Artis Magistra selected Basilisk to ensure long-term waterproofing of this unique structure.
Repair of 1,000 Shrinkage Cracks — Buitenveldert Tunnel, Schiphol
Traditional repair methods such as injections are more expensive, more time-consuming, and more difficult to apply to narrow concrete cracks. Application of Basilisk Liquid Repair System ER7 provided a fast, cost-effective solution for over 1,000 shrinkage cracks in this critical infrastructure tunnel.
Loading Pit Floor of Prologis Equipped with Self-Healing Concrete
A new Prologis distribution center near Schiphol Airport used Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete for its loading pit floors. The combination of self-healing technology made the floors significantly more sustainable, reducing maintenance requirements and extending service life.
Durability Issue Due to Concrete Cracks in Balconies — LUMC Hospital
During an inspection in one of the LUMC hospital buildings, hairline cracks were found in the concrete of the balconies. On closer inspection, the damage could cause a durability problem. Basilisk ER7 was applied to seal all cracks and prevent further deterioration.
36% Reduction of Shrinkage Reinforcement in Parking Garage
In the Hulstkamp building parking garage, watertightness of concrete plays an important role. By using Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete, the concrete was made waterproof and up to 36% of shrinkage reinforcement was eliminated — saving materials, cost, and CO₂ emissions.
Japanese Water Purification Plant Built with Self-Healing Concrete
The superior waterproof performance of self-healing concrete was the reason to select Basilisk for this project. Membranes and other waterproofing measures could be omitted, saving costs. The foundation, floors, and walls were all poured with Basilisk Self-Healing Concrete.
Life Span of Concrete Bus Lane Extended by 15 Years
The smallest hairline cracks in a concrete road surface eventually lead to major problems. Moisture penetrates through cracks affecting the reinforcement. Basilisk ER7 sealed cracks to extend the bus lane's service life by 15 years, avoiding costly full replacement.
Dutch Railway — Sustainable Retaining Walls with Self-Healing Concrete
ProRail selected Basilisk for sustainable retaining walls as part of its commitment to sustainable infrastructure. Self-healing concrete eliminated the need for additional waterproofing measures, reducing both environmental impact and long-term maintenance costs.
Cracks in Precast Elements for ProRail Repaired with Basilisk ER7
Precast elements manufactured by Strukton for a railway platform renovation showed shrinkage cracks between 0.1–0.25 mm. Basilisk Liquid Repair System ER7 was used to seal all cracks efficiently before installation on the platforms.
Concrete Repair of Highway Bridge with Basilisk Repair Mortar MR3
The bridge is part of Highway A20 in the Netherlands near Rotterdam. Several repairs were executed with Basilisk Self-Healing Repair Mortar MR3 to ensure a durable and sustainable repair of this important highway overpass.
