Fortress Infrastructure Group places MST-BAR glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar with the governments, agencies and contractors building infrastructure that steel cannot survive.
Corroding reinforcement is the single largest driver of concrete infrastructure failure worldwide. Coatings delay it. Waterproofing delays it. Neither stops it. GFRP removes the mechanism entirely.
No spalling, no corrosion cracking. Built for coastal, marine and de-icing environments.
One truckload of MST-BAR carries what four truckloads of steel rebar would.
Moved by hand or machine, cut with ordinary tools. Fewer injuries, smaller crews.
Minimum 1000 MPa in tension, minimum 20 MPa in bond.
Best-in-class non-structural GFRP rebar for concrete flatwork, produced in long-lasting vinyl-ester resin and corrosion-proof glass. A code-approved product.
Specifications
Glass fiber reinforced polymer bar with an integral ribbed profile — four times lighter than steel, three times stronger, and non-conductive to heat, cold and electricity.
Specifications
When North Carolina replaced the Alligator River Bridge, GFRP was chosen over steel. MST-BAR is part of the GFRP reinforcement on this coastal crossing on U.S. 64, where corrosion is the defining engineering constraint. Opening 2029.
MST-BAR is written into design codes and standards on both sides of the border, and carries the first ICC certification issued to a fiberglass rebar.
