Safe, strong and durable with non-corrosive properties
Due to the different mechanical properties when compared to traditional steel reinforcement, standards and codes have been developed to facilitates the design and construct using FRP.

Safety, testing and regulation measures are applied to all of our products in the design, manufacturing and applications.
