How to extend a bridge's lifespan and reduce long-term maintenance costs? The North Carolina Department of Transportation and the engineering team had the answer. Mateenbar™ fiberglass rebar was used in this critical bridge project in North Carolina to significantly extend the bridge’s lifespan and reduce the need for expensive and disruptive maintenance. • Harkers Island Bridge uses Mateenbar™ GFRP reinforcement • Spans 5.15 km, proving GFRP rebar viability in large-scale projects • Addresses persistent corrosion issues in saltwater exposure • 1,574,618 linear feet of GFRP used in various diameters. The Harkers Island Bridge project is a game-changer for structural design in corrosive environments. By successfully implementing GFRP reinforcement on such a large scale, it demonstrates the material's potential to replace steel in major infrastructure projects. The use of GFRP rebar in bridge construction has been increasing over the past couple of decades, particularly in areas with high corrosion risk. 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 Mateenbar™ is MANUFACTURED DOWNUNDER for projects throughout Australia and New Zealand.
