MIT Spinout Extends Bridge Lifespan by 100 Years
2025-05-24
Allium Engineering, founded by two MIT PhDs, is revolutionizing infrastructure with a new technology that triples the lifespan of bridges and other structures. By adding a thin layer of stainless steel cladding to traditional rebar, they drastically improve corrosion resistance. This easily integrated process requires no special handling, significantly extends infrastructure lifespan, reduces maintenance needs, and lowers carbon emissions. Already used in several US projects, Allium's technology promises rapid global scaling, building a more durable, affordable, and sustainable infrastructure for the future.
