When exploring the different alternatives that can be used for a concrete foundation, it’s important to note the different pros and cons associated with each alternative. For the purpose of this article, the focus will be on the two main benefits FRP rebars offer compared to steel rebar when it comes to diaphragm walls and foundation pit retaining piles projects. Easier to cut FRP rebar’s cuttable nature makes it easy for complexe concrete structures to be manipulated in complexe concrete structures, like a tunnel. In fact, Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM), which are widely used in tunnel projects can be more…

When it comes to your construction projects, there are several things to consider. First, it is important to determine what kind of project you are going to build. For the purpose of this article, we will focus on the structures that make up pavements, multi-storey parkings, garages, roads and balconies. One thing all these structures have in common is their long exposure to the outdoors, which brings us to the second criteria to look at when analyzing your project: how to ensure a long durability for the structure. The damages caused by the wrong material can be extremely hazardous and…

SFTec prides itself in leading the market with the revolutionary innovation of FRP rebar (fiberglass reinforced polymer) which is a higher alternative to steel reinforcements used in concrete for construction. In addition, it is composed of recycled fibers! Non-Corrosive and Unsusceptible to Chemical spills As safety should always be the primary goal, fighting corrosion is the number one concern especially in structures such as bridges, barrier walls, and decks in order to prevent a collapse. Even though steel has been traditionally used in reinforcement of concrete, it has a highly dangerous shortcoming in that it is easily corroded, and corrosion…
