Concrete, a cornerstone of construction, is often reinforced with steel rebar to combat its brittleness and limited tensile strength. However, steel rebar is prone to corrosion, leading to costly maintenance and potential structural failures. Enter fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar, a non-corrosive alternative ideal for long-term use in challenging environments like bridges, seawalls, and wastewater plants. FRP rebar offers higher tensile strength (1.5 to 2 times that of steel), better fatigue resistance, and is significantly lighter, easing transportation and installation.

Custom fiberglass pultrusion is an advanced manufacturing technique that plays a pivotal role in producing high-quality fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) profiles tailored to specific application needs. This process involves pulling continuous glass fibers through a resin bath, typically composed of polyester, vinylester, or epoxy resin, ensuring complete impregnation for optimal strength and durability.

A recent study by the U.S. Forest Service has shed light on the declining quality of modern wood products, particularly for use in demanding outdoor environments such as coastal boardwalks and seaside promenades. The research found that wood harvested today is less dense and less durable due to accelerated growth cycles. This has led to increased issues with warping, cracking, and deterioration, especially in high-exposure settings.

The Tres Cruces Hospital in Bilbao, Spain, has a 3-metre-high helipad that can accommodate helicopters weighing up to 6 tonnes Spare's composite material ensures corrosion resistance, lightweight construction and anti-skid properties (Class 3). With a weight of 60 kg/m2, it has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and complies with ICAO fire rating (M1).

In a groundbreaking move for the FRP industry, new advancements now incorporate cutting-edge antimicrobial technology into a range of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products. This innovative feature is designed to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria on the surface of FRP materials, addressing a key concern in various industries.

SPARE Composite is pleased to introduce its latest breakthrough in retaining wall solutions: the GRP Structural Composite Retaining Wall System. This cutting-edge system is designed to simplify the construction of retaining walls, making them more cost-effective, environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing. By combining the natural look of wood with the advanced properties of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, the system offers a lighter and more durable solution than traditional concrete and steel retaining walls.
