Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Saltcrete and saltstone are used as building materials in Makoko and Lagos 2035. By fabricating Saltcrete, we are able to minimize polluting our water with salt after certain purification processes, this helps maintain a self sustaining Makoko.
Saltcrete is a mixture of cement with salts and brine, usually originating from liquid waste treatment plants. Its role is to immobilize hazardous waste and in some cases lower-level radioactive waste in the form of solid material.
Saltcrete is slowly being replaced by saltstone, which is less permeable and leachable. It represents just one of the many revolutionary building materials used in Makoko.
