When it comes to coastal and retaining wall construction, corrosion is the most common and costly enemy of traditional steel reinforcement. Constant exposure to moisture, chlorides, and seawater gradually eats away at steel, weakening structures and driving up maintenance costs.

That’s why more engineers, contractors, and developers are switching to Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Rebar — a modern alternative designed to deliver strength that lasts, even in the harshest environments.

💪 What Is Fiberglass Rebar (FRP Rebar)?

Fiberglass Rebar, also known as FRP Rebar, is a composite reinforcement material made of high-strength glass fibers embedded in a durable resin matrix.

It provides the tensile strength of steel but with key advantages that make it ideal for coastal and marine applications.

🌊 Why Use Fiberglass Rebar for Retaining & Wave Walls?

1. ✅ 100% Corrosion-Resistant

   Unlike steel, FRP rebar does not rust, even when exposed to saltwater or chemical environments.

   This makes it perfect for retaining walls, seawalls, wave barriers, and coastal foundations.

2. ⚙️ High Tensile Strength

   FRP rebar offers a tensile strength 2–3 times higher than steel by weight, ensuring structural stability under soil and wave pressure.

3. 🪶 Lightweight & Easy to Handle

   Up to 4x lighter than steel, FRP rebar simplifies transport and installation, reducing labor and equipment costs.

4. 🌱 Low Maintenance & Long Service Life

   Its corrosion-free nature means no costly repairs or replacements, extending the lifespan of marine and retaining wall structures.

🧱 Common Applications

Fiberglass Rebar has become the preferred reinforcement choice for:

• Retaining walls and slope stabilization

• Wave barriers and seawalls

• Bridge abutments and foundations in wet environments

• Waterfront and harbor structures

• Drainage and stormwater projects
