Basilisk
'Self healing concrete'
TU Delft spin-off Basilisk ensures self healing concrete with limestone produced by micro-organisms.
Basilisk self-healing concrete is developed at the Delft University of Technology and is based on a autonomous repair system which is made possible by limestone-producing micro-organisms (bacteria). When the bacteria come in contact with oxygen and water they are capable of converting certain nutrients to calcium carbonate (limestone).The patented technique was developed in cooperation with Henk Jonkers, Sybrand van der Zwaag and Annegreeth Lameijer.
