Gfrp Rebars

FiReP® REBAR FRP reinforcement is the production range for internal reinforcement of concrete structures. It offers a wide range of different shapes, that almost every shape known from steel rebar can be produced in FRP.

FiReP® REBAR FRP reinforcement can either be used for permanent applications e.g. in case of requirements of highest durability, maintenance free and corrosion free structures as well as in the case of the requirement to avoid disturbances of electric or magnetic fields or for temporary application (e.g. Soft-Eyes)

For temporary reinforcement of diaphragm walls, it is now state of the art to use a mixed cages of steel in the upper and lower section and FRP in the middle section. This section, called “Soft-Eye”, that will later be cut by TBM, is important for time and cost effective operation of TBM.

Key advantages include high corrosion resistance for permanent application, proper bonding to concrete high tensile strength, low weight, magnetic neutrality / antimagnetic and easy cutting

Key applications include the use of rebars in temporary application (soft eye), exposed structures, infrastructural buildings, waterway engineering, railways/ aprons using induction loops, industrial plants, foundations to name a few
