SMART Rebar: Fiberglass Rebar & More
Concrete has three guarantees: it turns gray, it gets hard, and it cracks.
However, these cracks should not lead to compromised structural integrity or buckling of solid concrete walls.
That’s where Fiberglass Rebar plays a crucial role. Unlike traditional steel rebar, fiberglass rebar is resistant to salt-induced expansion, ensuring the structural integrity of concrete foundations, paving, support walls, and columns. Its corrosion-resistant properties make fiberglass rebar ideal for coastal construction and Bahamian building projects where exposure to saltwater can jeopardize steel reinforcements. Fiberglass rebar provides a long-lasting, durable solution for high-performance concrete structures in the harsh Caribbean environment.

Hurricane Dorian
revealed the vulnerability of concrete structures exposing cracks that showed deteriorated rebar in foundations, paving, and walls. Concrete, expected to be one of the strongest materials, often fails in Caribbean construction due to inadequate mixing practices and salts in the mixture and in the air. In the Caribbean islands, concrete is frequently mixed with beach sand, salt water, and rebar with high iron content, accelerating structural degradation in the ocean’s salty air. Scarcity of modern transit-mixed concrete limits access to consistent quality, and even with improved materials like washed sand and fresh water, high sodium levels remain an issue. Standard galvanized or epoxy-coated rebar deteriorates rapidly, resulting in premature structural failures across coastal construction projects.
