Fiberglass Rebar
Field Applications
- Highways and road infrastructures such as bridges and viaducts, parkings, concrete roads, etc.
- Infrastructures in a marine environment such as quays, caissons, jetties, piers, underwater tunnels, piles, drilling rig, port fittings, etc.
- Structures in need of an electromagnetic neutrality like hospitals, aluminum smelters, airports, manufacturing facilities flooring, military fittings, utility enclosures, etc.
- Works in corrosive environments such as tanks and reservoirs of petrochemical products, for the pulp and paper industry, for water and wastewater applications, etc.
- Works in contact with the ground such as slabs, retaining walls, tunnel lining, mine corridors, etc.
Why Fiberglass Rebar ?
Studies on the effectiveness and durability of some rebar protection methods (increased concrete cover, high-performance concrete, cathodic protection, watertight membranes) have shown that they do not solve the corrosion problem. In some cases, it even gets accelerated.
V•ROD offers many advantages to fully eliminate the corrosion problem. In addition, lab studies and field testing have shown that V•ROD could offer a life expectancy of over 100 years in service conditions
A Future with Confidence
Considered a solution for the future, V•ROD rebar is also one of confidence. This recognition is strongly associated with the qualification process and its acceptance in generally known construction codes as well as its adoption, within their own standards, by the authorities of numerous Canadian provinces, US states and major cities across the globe.
When Safety and Savings Go Together
The use of V•ROD rebar provides very significant savings while increasing the user's safety.
