THE CORROSION PROBLEMAnyone working in the concrete industry near a marine environment is well aware of the corrosion issues plaguing these regions. It has proven impossible to keep marine salts from accelerating the corrosion of the steel reinforcement embedded in the concrete. This drastically reduces the lifespan of concrete infrastructure in marine environments.

THE GATORBAR SOLUTIONFRP (fiber reinforced polymer) rebar has been documented in multiple studies to provide superior crack control when used in pavements.
In addition, marine salts have no effect on the longevity of the concrete, as FRP is corrosion resistant.
