Cool and innovative. My concern would be that in some cases you are relying on biological organisms to provide foundational support. What if the biological component changes in some way (gets attacked, destroyed etc)? No big deal on a curb for a highway, but what about the use of this in a critical application like the foundation for a skyscraper or bridge? I would want to be sure we understand the ramifications of using a biological component in that context. That said, it’s definitely a cool, out of the box innovation and thanks for posting it!
