Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
Treatment Plant
Treatment Plant Structures
Applications

Aeration basins, sedimentation tanks, and clarifiers
Retaining walls and slab foundations under chemical or high-moisture exposure
Filtration beds, secondary clarifiers, and sludge holding tanks
Why GFRP Rebar?

100% corrosion-proof in environments with chlorine, sulfates, and hydrogen sulfide
Prevents concrete spalling and cracking from rust expansion
Non-conductive — safe around pumps, electrical panels, and sensors
Why GFRP Mesh?

Used as surface or secondary reinforcement for walls, tanks, and walkways
Improves crack control in areas with vibration or shrinkage stresses
Reduces shrinkage cracking and improves surface durability
Pipelines, Culverts & Outfall
Pipelines, Culverts & Outfall Structure
Applications

Stormwater drains, sewage tunnels, and trench linings
Pipe collars, end walls, and precast segments
Valve chambers and access vaults
GFRP Rebar

Lightweight for easier installation in confined underground environments
Immune to biogenic sulfuric acid attack from sewage gases
Maintains structural integrity during long-term submersion
GFRP Mesh

Reinforces pipe junctions, sleeves, and transitions
Prevents crack propagation at joints and elbows
Ideal for thin-section concrete panels or liners where rebar is hard to place
Water Reservoirs
Water Reservoirs & Retaining Tanks
Applications

Potable water storage tanks and retaining walls
Balancing reservoirs and pressure break tanks
Concrete covers, slabs, and partitions
Advantages

Zero leaching or corrosion — meets drinking water safety standards
Enhances service life up to 75+ years vs. 20–25 years for steel
GFRP mesh maintains surface integrity even in constant wet-dry cycles
Lift Stations
Lift Stations, Wet Wells & Pumping Facilities
Applications

Wet well chambers and sump bases
Pump housing slabs and thrust blocks
Platforms, steps, and embedded foundation reinforcements
Benefits

GFRP rebar eliminates galvanic corrosion in electrically active zones
GFRP mesh adds structural stability under constant vibration and loading
Provides non-magnetic properties, beneficial for monitoring sensors
Desalination & Chemical Treatment Plants
Desalination & Chemical Treatment Plant
Applications

Brine tanks, chemical containment pits, and saltwater reservoirs
Channel reinforcements and filtration tank bases
Why GFRP Rebar & Mesh?

Highly resistant to chloride ions, acids, and alkaline chemicals
Reduces long-term structural maintenance costs by 40–60%
Lightweight → faster assembly and reduced labor in corrosive work zones
