The Nanyang Technological University (NTU)’s new ultra-low vibration lab is being constructed.

Since the testing equipment cannot be positioned within a 1.5m radius of any magnetic elements, Dextra GFRP rebars were installed in base slabs and floating slabs as a replacement for steel rebars. GFRP rebars were delivered in a quantity of 3,000 linear meters.

GFRP rebars allow contractors to substitute steel rebar with composite non-corrosive and non-metallic reinforcement. It offers very high tensile performances for a light weight: up to 8 times the performance/weight ratio of steel.
