Our Services
The Corrosion Solution BUILD TO LAST FOR CENTURIES WITHOUT MAINTENANCE
Rock Bolting
Composite rebar anchors stabilize fractured rock in tunnels and slopes while avoiding corrosion in wet, aggressive ground conditions.
Marine & Waterfront Structures
Marine & Waterfront Structures: Non‑corrosive GFRP rebar reinforces piers, docks, and bridge splash zones exposed to saltwater and waves.
Water treatments
Water treatments: Chemically resistant fiberglass rebar reinforces tanks and plant structures where chlorides and process chemicals attack steel.
Seawalls
Seawalls: GFRP rebar provides long‑life reinforcement for seawalls and bulkheads constantly exposed to tidal splash and chlorides.
Why Choose Us
- Zero corrosion: 100% resistance to any & all harsh environmental factors, No rusting
- High chemical resistance: Impervious to salt and other chemical attacks
- High tensile strength: 2 x stronger than steel with tensile strength of 1000MPa
- Light weight: 4 x (i.e. 73%) lighter than steel, (2100 Kg/m3 vs.7800 Kg/m3), Ease of transportation
- Low thermal conductivity: Makes it suitable for use in hot and cold environments, power plants
- High fatigue life: 20 x higher resistance under cyclic loading (440,000 cycle vs. 40,000 cycle)
- Non-Conductive, & Non-Electromagnetic: Ideal for high electrical field, e.g. power stations
- Non-Magnetic: Ideal for hospitals, MRI rooms, laboratories & other uses
- Low thermal conductivity: Makes it suitable for use in hot and cold environments, power plants
- High bonding strength: Much greater bonding strength to concrete (20 Mpa)
- Long life span: over 100s of years life span (GFRP) vs 25 years (Black Steel)
- Ease of cutting & handling: Faster & cheaper installation and site handling
- Fire rated: Capacity to stand for more than 3 hours in direct fire with minimum concrete cover
- Sustainable to environment: Environmentally friendly, less Green House Gases while transporting
- High durability & performance: No maintenance required, No additional project cost, Major savings
- Min. concrete cover: requires minimum concrete cover i.e. 38mm, (2 ½ x less cracking of concrete)
- Detection by GPR: Easily detected by GPR
- No waterproofing: For bridge decks, unique saving for future
