Why GFRP

The Smarter Choice for Modern Construction

GFRP Rebars are manufactured using high-strength glass fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix. They are corrosion-free, non-conductive, lightweight, and have high tensile strength, making them the preferred choice for construction projects exposed to aggressive conditions. ABHUVA INNOVATION specializes in providing customized GFRP rebars as per project requirements, ensuring quality and compliance with international standards.

FRP Rebar is a lightweight spiral wrapped fiberglass rod manufactured using glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt along with resin. It is a non-corrosive alternative over steel developed for concrete reinforcement applications. Corrosion of steel is one of the main deteriorating mechanisms that significantly degrades traditionally reinforced concrete elements leading to a reduced service-life of infrastructure components. Improved durability of concrete structures is becoming more important for many civil applications, non corrosive materials such as fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars (rebars) – in substitution of steel are a viable option.

Advantages

ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE

♦ Cost saving up to 30%-

High tensile strength of GFRP allows to replace steel rebar with same diameter with reduction of cost by 30%. In some application we can even use one size smaller dia of GFRP rebar with additional savings of 15% without loss of performance.

♦ Labour cost

We can save labour cost by 25% during loading, unloading, handling and installation of GFRP Rebars onsite because of less weight compare to steel rebars.

♦ Maintenance & rehabilitation cost

There is Zero maintenance and rehabilitation cost involved in the structure with GFRP Rebars due to its non-corrosive nature.

♦ Saving in Transportation cost-

Due to lightweight in nature compare to steel the transportation cost reduces by 25%.

♦ Installation Time

GFRP Rebar installation requires 50% less time compare to steel TMT rebar installation time. No need of cutting of bars on site. At production stage we can send customised length which will enable the user to install it straightway without waiting.

♦ Less Concrete Cover

When we replace steel rebars with comparatively lower diameter of GFRP, a less concrete cover required while preparing RCC structure. This will again give indirect saving in the cost of RCC Structure.

Key& Important Factors-

Because of Low ductility in nature additional calculations and safety factors may require while designing the RCC structure with GFRP Rebrs.
GFRP Rebars in combination with steel can give dual advantage of strength & ductility in RCC structure.
In the event of fire additional measures or concrete cover can protect the RCC structure with GFRP rebar and improve the stability of structure.
On site GFRP rebars can be used in combination with steel bends and stirrups if required.
Bend shapes and stirrups of GFRP rebars can be ordered with precise measurements at manufacturing stage itself.

GFRP Applications

Highway Construction

ABHUVA INNOVATION PVT. LTD. specializes in integrating GFRP rebars into highway construction, delivering exceptional strength and durability. Our solutions make roads more resistant to cracking and environmental damage. The lightweight nature of GFRP allows for faster installations, cutting both labor and transportation costs. Our expertise ensures long-lasting highways with far less maintenance than traditional steel.

RCC Tanks & Water Containment

We provide advanced GFRP reinforcement for RCC tanks and reservoirs, water parks, swimming pools, etc. eliminating corrosion even with constant water or chemical exposure. Our GFRP rebars maintain structural integrity far longer than steel, ensuring safer and more reliable storage. These rust-proof reinforcements are ideal for potable water, chemicals, and sewage systems. Clients experience reduced lifecycle maintenance and superior performance over decades.

Substations, Power, and Industrial Structures

Due to the nonconductive nature of GFRP rebars to electricity, electromagnetic field rays, and heat, it makes a perfect product to be used in concrete structures near high-voltage cables, substations, power plants, and in industries. This property ensures enhanced safety, reliability, and longevity and also minimizes maintenance needs over time, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution for modern construction projects.

Water Treatment Plants & Acidic Facilities

ABHUVA INNOVATION enhances water treatment plants, refinery reservoirs, and acid ponds with GFRP rebars built to withstand aggressive chemicals and moisture. Our installations protect structures from corrosion, extending their lifespan and reliability. With non-reactive reinforcement, clients avoid costly and frequent repairs typical to steel. Consistent performance minimizes operational interruptions and optimizes facility safety.

Parking Garages

Our team fortifies parking garages using GFRP rebars, delivering exceptional resistance to de-icing salts, moisture, and corrosion. This ensures garages require minimal maintenance while offering robust load-bearing performance. The reduced weight of our GFRP rebars accelerates construction timelines and simplifies design. Owners and users benefit from safer, longer-lasting parking infrastructure.

Waterfront & Marine Structures

Soil near coastal or marine environments and alkaline soil nature can corrode reinforcement in RCC structures very fast. So GFRP rebar is an ideal solution to such structures as it resists corrosion for a very long time and makes RCC structures maintenance-free. Its durability significantly extends the service life of critical infrastructure in harsh conditions. By reducing repair cycles, it also helps save long-term costs for developers and asset owners.

Concrete under Railway Tracks

We reinforce concrete beneath railway tracks using non-magnetic GFRP rebars that won’t corrode or interfere with rail signals. This technology boosts the resilience and safety of railway infrastructure in the face of constant loading and harsh weather. Our GFRP solutions drastically reduce the need for frequent maintenance. Rail operators gain added peace of mind and lower long-term costs.

RCC Pavements

Our lightweight, high-strength GFRP rebars keep RCC pavements durable and crack-free under heavy traffic and temperature swings. By resisting chemicals and corrosion, our solutions prolong pavement life and reduce repairs. Installation is faster and more energy-efficient due to reduced weight. We create pavements built for enduring performance and cost savings.
