The Living Ports Project
Catalyzing groundbreaking concrete infrastructure technology
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Improving Concrete's Ecological Footprint
LIVING PORTS pioneers port sustainability with a technology that enables concrete infrastructure which stores carbon and regenerates ecosystems.

Showcasing Effective Technology
LIVING PORTS showcases and de-risks large-scale, flexible, and cost-effective technology that also meets environmental goals.
Transforming the Future
LIVING PORTS aims to transform maritime construction best practices (ROM) with a proven solution for structurally-sound, ecological port infrastructure.
THE CHALLENGE
With growing climate change risks, forward-thinking ports are not only adapting their infrastructure, but also taking actions to mitigate climate change.
Currently, 70% of coastal infrastructure is built with traditional concrete, which is toxic to many marine organisms and requires expensive maintenance - annually, there is an estimated €2.2 trillion cost of corrosion worldwide.
With the previous lack of de-risked, environmentally sensitive, industry standard solutions, a technically feasible solution to this problem remained out of reach. LIVING PORTS will change the standard of port construction by replacing traditional concrete while performing structurally.
