Why FRP Rebar Is Replacing Steel in U.S. Infrastructure Projects
For nearly 100 years, steel rebar dominated infrastructure construction in the United States. From bridges and highways to marine structures and tunnels, steel shaped modern America.

Composite-Tech, a leading global manufacturer of equipment for producing GFRP rebar, mesh, and bent composite elements, has officially entered into a strategic partnership with the FRP Institute.
For more than a century, steel has been the backbone of modern infrastructure. Yet, corrosion, weight, and sustainability challenges are forcing engineers to rethink the future of reinforcement.
In the United States, #3 (3/8 inch) fiberglass rebar has quickly become one of the most requested sizes of Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement.
In the last decade, the U.S. construction industry has faced enormous challenges: aging infrastructure, corrosion of steel reinforcement, and the need for sustainable materials with a longer service life.
The U.S. construction industry is at a turning point. Traditional steel reinforcement, while widely used for decades, is increasingly unsustainable due to corrosion, high maintenance costs, and environmental impact.
One of the most revolutionary developments is Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), which has already proven to outperform traditional steel reinforcement in many applications.
Composite-Tech is a global leader in the design, manufacturing, and innovation of GFRP production equipment. Our company has set the standard for quality, reliability, and performance.
FRP rebar is a non-metallic reinforcement alternative used in concrete structures. With outstanding corrosion resistance, superior tensile strength, and lightweight properties, FRP rebar is rapidly gaining global market traction.
In the rapidly growing world of construction and infrastructure, one trend is transforming how we reinforce concrete: GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) products.
In the rapidly evolving construction industry, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rebar is emerging as a revolutionary alternative to traditional steel reinforcement. While steel has
Composite anchors made from glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) represent a significant advancement in structural reinforcement technology.
