C-Probe
C-Probe Systems manufacture low carbon corrosion protection and monitoring products, in order to control steel frame corrosion and effectively increase asset service life. LoCem® is a low carbon alkali-activated cementitious material (AACM), which forms the basis of their product suite. This acts as a replacement to Portland cement and is specifically formulated to act as an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anode cement to offer whole life control of corrosion in reinforced concrete and masonry structures. These novel binders are repurposed from industrial waste by-products with no heat offering over 90% CO2e saving compared to CEM I. Using LoCem® as part of the repair or new build fabric of the structure offers a modern method of construction, while providing indefinite life and contribution to the circular economy.
