B-Crete consists of debris from buildings and roads destroyed by [[The Plagues]], mixed with a Different produced adhesive called [[Styro]]. It is the most common material used in construction in the United States. |

The advantage B-Crete provided was that material could be created on the spot. Teams usually consisted of [[Strong-Man]] Differents who gathered up debris from old buildings, chunks of asphalt, even rocks and soil. They then crushed these these materials into sand like consistency. That sand was then mixed with 1,000 gallons of water and 2 grams of [[Styro]], per 1 ton of sand. [[Speedster]]s then shaped the paste like substance into the structure desired. [[Heater]] Differents would then dry out the B-Crete paste, hardening it and allowing the process to be reaped on top. Similar teams continue to be deployed for new construction and repairs, though on a small scale. |
B-Crete is also highly effective when used as a patch. Its soft state allows it to be forced into small cracks where it can then be hardened. This is useful because B-Crete’s lower tensile strength means it needs to be repaired often. B-Crete was also used to patch up old building that survived [[The Plagues]]. | B-Crete is also highly effective when used as a patch.
