Fiberglass dowels for durable roundabouts

Why fiberglass dowels and rebars are the solution for sustainable roundabouts

Are our roundabouts really future-proof?

Every professional in road construction knows it: roundabouts suffer. Constant load, weather influences and high traffic pressure cause wear and tear in concrete pavement. But what if there is an innovative solution that extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs?

Meet glass fibre reinforced products from Fiber Dowels, the smart choice for sustainable and efficient roundabouts.

Why roundabouts? The ideal testing ground for innovation

Roundabouts are a special part of our infrastructure. They are continuously loaded from different directions and are often subject to aggressive conditions such as road salt, heavy trucks and weather conditions.

This makes them vulnerable, but also an ideal place to exploit the advantages of glass fibre for in roundabouts. Where traditional dowels and tie rods fail, Fiber Dowels perform optimally. They ensure even load transfer between concrete slabs, reduce stresses and minimise chances of cracking.

Fiberglass for in roundabouts means: less maintenance, longer life, and lower costs.

Case study: A roundabout in northern Netherlands gets an upgrade

A good example is a recent project in the Northern Netherlands, where a heavily travelled roundabout showed signs of premature wear. The municipality decided on a sustainable renovation and chose fiberglass dowels and rebars from Fiber Dowels.

The results?

Faster installation thanks to lower weight and easy handling.
Better load distribution, which visibly reduced cracking.
Lower maintenance costs, inspection after 1 year showed no signs of degradation.
Client satisfaction due to smart use of innovative materials.

The result: This project demonstrates that glass fiber reinforced products are not only the best choice in theory, but also offer proven benefits in practice.

What ads Fiber Dowels to a project?

Fiber Dowels supplies fiberglass dowels and fiberglass rebars and associated baskets, designed to make concrete road structures stronger and more durable. Unlike traditional steel dowels, our fiberglass reinforced products:

Durable for longer life of road construction without additional maintenance.
Corrosion resistant therefore no rusting even in aggressive environments.
Lightweight for easier handling and installation, less physical strain.
Strong and flexible for high tensile and compressive strength combined with minimal deformation.

Whereas steel dowels cause cracks or “pop-outs” over time, fiberglass dowels remain stable and reliable. This makes them perfect for applications where reliability and low maintenance costs are crucial – such as roundabouts.
