What crews and consultants ask before the first bar arrives

Short notes from our Changodar plant. They are not a substitute for the project specification.

• Why GFRP rebar cannot be bent on site

  GFRP rebar is not bent with a bar-bending machine. Trumbak FiberMech explains what to order instead, from our Ahmedabad plant.

• How crews cut GFRP rebar

  Cut GFRP rebar with a diamond or abrasive blade, not a shear. Dust control and PPE notes from Trumbak FiberMech.

• Where non-magnetic rebar is the point

  GFRP rebar is non-magnetic and non-conductive. Where that matters: MRI rooms, metro structures and instrument pits.

• What a GFRP bar weighs against TMT

  Compare Trumbak GFRP rebar unit weights from 6 mm to 25 mm with the usual TMT formula d²/162.

• GFRP rebar versus TMT steel

  GFRP rebar versus TMT steel: rust, weight, stiffness and site bending. Plain-language notes from Trumbak FiberMech, Ahmedabad.

• GFRP rebar for a house, a roof slab or a boundary wall

  When a house slab, roof, boundary wall or farm compound can use GFRP rebar, and when a TMT drawing should stay TMT. From Trumbak FiberMech.
