Hospitals & Healthcare Campuses
Applications

Foundations, slabs, and columns for medical centers
Parking decks, basements, and utility tunnels
MRI suites, radiology rooms, and surgical wings
Why GFRP Rebar?

Non-magnetic → no interference with MRI, CT, or imaging equipment
Corrosion-proof → ideal for sterile and moisture-controlled environments
75–100-year service life → minimal structural maintenance and zero rust
Why GFRP Mesh?

Used in floors, walls, and ceilings for crack control and vibration resistance
Provides stable surface reinforcement under high-load equipment zones
Non-conductive → prevents current leakage near electrical or data systems
Pharmaceutical & Biotech Laboratories
Pharmaceutical & Biotech Laboratories
Applications

Cleanrooms, R&D labs, and process manufacturing floors
Containment basins, chemical wash areas, and storage zones
Advantages

Resistant to chemical cleaning agents, disinfectants, and acids
Non-conductive → ensures safe environments for sensitive instruments
No rust → maintains sterile surfaces without particulate contamination
Diagnostic & Imaging Facilities
Diagnostic & Imaging Facilities
Applications

MRI suites, PET/CT scanner rooms, and radiology floors
Shielded or magnetically sensitive areas
Benefits

Magnetic transparency → allows precise imaging calibration
No electromagnetic distortion → critical for MRI field stability
Reduces the need for expensive magnetic shielding retrofits
Medical Data Centers & Control Facilities
Medical Data Centers & Control Facilities
Applications
