REBAR
Investigating the source of the staining found on the bunkers and building work in Alderney.
Masonry structures and the mortar holding them together are similar to concrete and also have a limited ability to carry tensile loads. Masonry units like blocks and bricks are made with advantageously placed voids to accommodate rebar, which is then held in place with grout. This combination is known as reinforced masonry.
Highway bridges, parking garages, coastal facilities and other structures have been built using stainless steel rebar sticks.

looking at the rebar structure it brings to mind artists such as Sol Le Witt and Tony Cragg.
