The June 2016 official printing of AC-454 now allows for basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) to be used in the reinforcement of concrete. Additionally, States are also mandated to consider “life cycle” costs of all future road and bridge products as written in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP 21) passed on July 6, 2012.
Due to the fact that Basalt products never rust, we believe RockRebar® will meet the mandated requirements, vastly reducing the need to redo infrastructure and obtain very little maintenance costs over time.
With its durability, strength and longevity, basalt has no true rival; it will no doubt be the last rock standing.
