Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebar (GFRP) is rust-proof, one-fourth the weight, and 2.5 times the tensile strength of steel reinforcement. It doesn’t take long to imagine the savings in transportation, handling and placing costs… and that doesn’t include the enhanced jobsite safety. GFRP is rated for, an almost unbelievable, 100+ […]

Of course, fewer braces reduce brace inventory, job site handling, panel attachment and dismantling time. Here are a few other things being mentioned: “The 42’ to 62’ Modular Brace lengths are the real “sweet spot” and make the most sense. […]
A Waler for Every Forming System Contractors put together lots of gangs, but they don’t always have the Waler they need… the one thing that maximizes productivity!
