BASALT ENGINEERING
Basalt Fiber Rebar
Stronger. Lighter. Environmentally Responsible. Made in the USA. As a modern alternative to corrosive steel reinforcement in concrete, basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) products deliver many advantages to public works infrastructure and residential construction.
KEY BENEFITS
Sustainable concrete reinforcement
Low environmental impact
60% less carbon footprint than steel
5 times lighter than steel
2.5 times stronger than steel
Will not rust or corrode like steel
Moisture penetration from concrete does not spall
Needs no special coating like glass fiber rods
Has the same thermal coefficient expansion as concrete
Easily cut to length with regular tools
Does not conduct electricity or induce fields when exposed to RF energy, making it perfect for hospital or data center buildings
Up to 70% labor savings on handling and installation versus steel rebar
applications
Seawall and Marine related construction
Ground work foundations
Concrete structures and slabs
Precast concrete units
Infrastructure - bridges & highways - Pavement
Sprayed Concrete installations
Submersed concrete structures
Roads, ports, airports
