Fiberglass dowels and rebars for concrete roads

Fiberglass dowels and rebars for reinforcement of concrete in roads

Fiberglass dowels and fiberglass rebars are increasingly being used in road construction and infrastructure concrete projects. This innovative technology offers significant advantages over traditional steel dowels and tie rods. The use of fiberglass composite creates a more durable, stronger and low-maintenance concrete reinforcement that significantly increases the service life and quality of roads.

What are fiberglass dowels and rebars?

Fiberglass dowels and rebars are high-quality joining and anchoring devices made of fiberglass reinforced plastic (GFRP). They are used to connect concrete slabs and structures in road surfaces and transfer forces, greatly reducing cracking and damage caused by traffic and weather.

Advantages of fiberglass over steel in road construction

At a logistics center in Southern Netherlands, they were struggling with cracks and subsidence in the truck parking lot. The contractor recommended reconstruction, this time with Fiber Dowels fiberglass dowels and in some places in the longitudinal joints fiberglass rebars.

Corrosion-resistant
Unlike steel dowels and tie rods, fiberglass dowels are immune to rust and corrosion, making concrete structures significantly more durable. Especially in areas where roads regularly come into contact with moisture, brine and chemicals, fiberglass offers unmatched durability.

Fiberglass dowels and rebars are completely corrosion resistant, making them ideal for applications in road structures exposed to moisture and aggressive substances such as road salt.

Lightweight and easy to handle
Fiberglass dowels and tie rods are 4 times lighter than their steel counterparts, making transportation and installation easier. This saves costs and increases safety on the construction site.

High strength and durability
Fiberglass offers high tensile strength and excellent abrasion resistance. This significantly increases the service life of concrete structures while reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the material does not lead to expansion or
shrinkage due to temperature differences, which further prevents cracking.

The tensile strength of fiberglass dowels and rebars is higher than steel . Due to their corrosion-free properties, they maintain their strength throughout the life of the concrete.

Electromagnetic neutral
Fiberglass dowels and connecting rods are non-conductive and fully electromagnetically transparent, ideal for parking lots for charging electric vehicles. But also roads and infrastructure where sensitive electronic measuring equipment is used, such as toll roads and weighing systems.

Fiber Dowels is innovative in concrete reinforcement with fiberglass technology

Fiber Dowels provides fiberglass reinforced dowels and tie rods and the corresponding dowel and tie rod racks that provide durable and efficient load transfer between concrete slabs. Unlike traditional steel dowels, fiberglass products have several advantages:

Corrosion resistant and therefore no rusting even in road salt or damp conditions.
Lightweight for easier handling and faster on-site processing.
High mechanical strength resulting in excellent tensile and compressive strength without deformation.
Longer service life due to less wear, less maintenance, lower costs.

The result for road construction? A better and future-proof solution.

Therefore, fiberglass dowels are a better solution for road construction

Concrete roads are more than just a strip of concrete. They are heavily used parts of our infrastructure and deserve sustainable solutions. With Fiber Dowels’ fiberglass dowels and rebars, you extend the service life, reduce maintenance costs and increase overall reliability.
