Reinforced concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. It is has high compressive and tensile strength, so is great for load bearing and for construction in places where vibration, high winds or earthquake might be problematic for other materials. It comes with one big weakness though – the steel […]
Here in the UK the weather may be cold and grey, but we are looking ahead to the Summer with renewed optimism. Not just for warmer weather, but in the hope that we will once again be able to travel, meet contacts old and new and share our passion for all things pultrusion! If things […]
The efficiency of the iPul Rebar Pultrusion Line, a Pultrex and Krauss Maffei Rebar Pultrusion Machine, is making FRP rebar an affordable option for the construction industry. Until now composite rebar has been a more costly option compared to steel alternatives, but the higher efficiency of the unique iPul Rebar Pultrusion Line means the benefits […]
The UK Government is making £160 million available to invest in renewables, with eyes firmly set on offshore wind. For energy companies, engineers and architects this is a pivotal moment to make a big impact on low carbon electricity generation, from the design of pultruded carbon fibre composite spar caps to the use of composite […]
If you want to leave an architectural legacy, you need longevity. We take a look at how Fibre Reinforced Rebar is a smart choice for projects where long lasting quality matters. Millau Viaduct, Hoover Dam, Dubai Creek Harbour… just a few iconic concrete structures where form and function unite. Designing a functional structure that will […]
