Marine & Coastal Structures
Marine and coastal structures operate in some of the most aggressive environments in civil engineering. Constant exposure to saltwater, chlorides, humidity, tidal action, and wet–dry cycles makes corrosion the primary cause of premature structural failure when conventional steel reinforcement is used.
Fibarplus GFRP rebars provide a corrosion-free reinforcement solution designed to ensure long-term durability and structural reliability in marine and coastal applications.
Common Marine & Coastal Applications
Fibarplus GFRP rebars are widely used in:
Seawalls and coastal protection structures
Ports, jetties, and harbors
Marine decks and wharf structures
Underwater foundations and piles
Breakwaters and revetments
Desalination plants and seawater intake structures
These structures are continuously exposed to chloride-rich environments, where steel reinforcement rapidly corrodes despite increased concrete cover or protective coatings.

Why GFRP Is the Preferred Solution
1. Complete Resistance to Corrosion
Fibarplus GFRP rebars are immune to chloride attack and saltwater corrosion. They do not rust, expand, or deteriorate—ensuring structural integrity even under continuous marine exposure.
2. Extended Service Life
By eliminating corrosion-related degradation, GFRP-reinforced marine structures can achieve design lives exceeding 100 years, significantly outperforming steel-reinforced alternatives.
3. Reduced Concrete Cover
Since corrosion protection is not required, GFRP rebars allow optimized concrete cover thickness, resulting in more efficient structural design and reduced material usage.
4. Lightweight & Efficient Installation
The lightweight nature of GFRP rebars simplifies handling and installation in marine construction zones, where access and equipment availability can be challenging.
