WHY CHOOSE V-ROD GFRP REINFORCEMENT

Reinforced concrete is the standard building material for construction of buildings and infrastructure. Steel, used historically for reinforcement, may cause major corrosion issues due to our climate and exposure to chlorides. This has resulted in severe deterioration.

​

Governments and owners that are facing an estimated $74 Billion of ongoing repairs and potential dangerous failures have now included GFRP in their corrosion protection policies. V-ROD® GFRP composite reinforcement has answered the call in providing an economical, safe and long-term sustainable solution with Initial and Life Cycle cost savings.
