Marine Structures Marine structures, like dams, sea walls, bridges, etc. cannot be built with material which is vulnerable to environment. Concrete reinforcement needs to be:
100%CorrosionResistant
High in Tensile
Strength
Excellent Bond

Marine structures or buildings near water systems are very sensitive to chlorides or sea salt that can easily damage steel-reinforced concrete
structures. Fiberglass Rebar is, therefore, the ideal reinforcement material for marine applications.
