FAQs
What's FRP rebar and how does it differ from traditional steel rebar?
FRP rebar is a fibreglass reinforced plastic reinforcement bar that we manufacture as a lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional steel rebar. Unlike steel, our FRP rebar won’t rust or corrode when exposed to harsh chemicals, saltwater, or extreme weather conditions. It’s additionally non-conductive, making it ideal for projects where electrical interference is a concern. While steel rebar can add significant weight to structures, our FRP rebar is about 75% lighter, making it easier to handle and transport.
Where can we use FRP rebar in construction projects?
You can use our FRP rebar in a wide variety of applications where corrosion resistance is critical. We’ve supplied FRP rebar for water and wastewater treatment facilities, marine structures, bridge decks, parking garages, and mining operations throughout Christchurch and beyond. It’s particularly valuable in concrete structures exposed to deicing salts, chemical environments, or coastal conditions. We additionally recommend it for projects near electrical equipment or MRI facilities where non-magnetic properties are vital.
How long does FRP rebar last compared to steel reinforcement?
Our FRP rebar offers exceptional longevity since it doesn’t corrode like steel. While steel rebar typically begins showing signs of corrosion within 10-20 years in harsh environments, our FRP rebar maintains its structural integrity for decades longer. We’ve been perfecting our FRP technologies since 1994, and our products are designed to provide 75-100+ year service life in most applications. This extended lifespan means you’ll save significantly on maintenance and replacement costs over time.
Is FRP rebar more expensive than steel, and what's the long-term value?
While FRP rebar typically has a higher upfront cost than steel rebar, we’ve found that our clients save money over the project’s lifetime. The initial investment is offset by reduced transportation costs thanks to its lightweight nature, faster installation times, and dramatically lower maintenance requirements. When you factor in the extended service life and elimination of corrosion-related repairs, our FRP rebar often provides better value than steel. We can provide detailed cost comparisons based on your specific project requirements.
Do you provide installation support and technical guidance for FRP rebar projects?
Absolutely! We don’t just supply FRP rebar – we provide thorough technical support throughout your project. Our experienced team can help with design specifications, installation guidelines, and on-site consultation. We’ll work with your engineers and contractors to guarantee proper handling, cutting, and placement techniques. With our strong operational network across Australia and New Zealand, we can deliver products efficiently to Christchurch and provide local support when you need it.
