Introduction
The Challenge
The Solution: Engineered Composites GRP Rebar
1. Corrosion Resistance
Unlike steel, GRP rebar is not susceptible to corrosion. It does not rust, deteriorate, or weaken when exposed to moisture, ensuring the long-term durability of the tunnel wall pillars. This inherent corrosion resistance minimizes the maintenance and repair costs associated with steel rebar, contributing to the long-term cost-effectiveness of the project.
2. Non-Magnetic and Non-Conductive
Engineered Composites GRP rebar is non-magnetic and non-conductive, making it an excellent choice when cable ducts need to pass through the tunnel wall pillars. The absence of magnetic properties eliminates potential interference with electrical systems, ensuring the smooth operation of the railway infrastructure. Additionally, the non-conductive nature of GRP rebar prevents electrical conductivity issues that can arise when steel rebar is used near sensitive electrical installations.
