No mix-design change
Keep your concrete recipe and structural design. SubLay C works in the soil contact zone around the asset.
Product
SubLay C
Form 1 ready to pilotProtect buried concrete without changing the mix.
SubLay C turns ordinary backfill into a mineral corrosion shield around buried reinforced concrete, without changing the mix design.
Mineral protective bedding for buried reinforced concrete
Why SubLay C
Durability that fits how you already build.
SubLay C Form 1 is the product you place this season: engineered protective backfill around the buried sides and base of reinforced concrete. Forms 2 and 3 extend the same material system later.
Other products protect the steel, the concrete mix, or the concrete surface. SubLay C treats the soil that attacks them.
Fits a normal foundation day
Place, compact, and backfill with clear thickness and QC guidance your contractors can follow.
Built for aggressive ground
Designed for the chloride, sulfate, and moisture exposure that eats ordinary backfill, including acidic sulfate-bearing coastal ground and salt-loaded roadside soils.
Pilot with a monitoring plan
Start with a pilot pack: material, application guidance, and a practical monitoring plan.
How it works
Place a mineral shield. Keep your mix design.
Place SubLay C Form 1 around the sides and base of poles, foundations, and other buried elements. Ordinary soil stays outside that protective bed.
Cross-section: SubLay C sits around the buried part of the concrete structure so it does not sit directly in regular soil.
- 01
Prepare the contact zone
Clear and prepare the contact zone around the buried part of the concrete structure.
- 02
Place SubLay C Form 1
Place SubLay C around the sides and base of the submerged structure at the agreed thickness.
- 03
Compact
Compact to the civil specification agreed with your team.
- 04
Backfill remaining zones
Fill the rest of the trench with regular soil around the SubLay C bed.
- 05
Monitor on pilots
On pilots, install monitoring points and record lot ID, thickness, and date.
Delivery forms
Form 1 now. Forms 2 and 3 later.
Available to pilot
SubLay C Form 1: engineered protective backfill
Loose mineral bedding for poles, foundations, and other buried elements. Replace ion-contaminated soil next to the structure.
Coming later
SubLay C Form 2: precast biscuit / mosaic tiles
Precast tiles from the same material system. Coming after Form 1 supply is established.
Coming later
SubLay C Form 3: concrete cast from the produced soil
Cast use of the material system for flexible applications. On the later roadmap.
What is in Form 1
- Mineral / silica-based matrix
- Corrosion inhibitor and hydrophobic agents
- Industrial side streams when regulation allows
- Virgin-mineral grade for early Finnish pilots
- Placement guidance and QC with every delivery
How we supply
- Controlled blending and delivery for Finnish pilot sites
- Virgin-mineral grade available for early placements
- Circular feedstocks when Finnish rules allow
Who it is for
Asset owners and the contractors who place for them.
Electricity network owners
Protect pole foundations, substation foundations, and cable chambers without redesigning concrete.
Civil contractors
Add a clear protective layer to foundation work with thickness, compaction, and QC you can run on site.
Road and bridge teams
A second path for salt-exposed substructures after lab proof and site fit are confirmed.
