Corrosion-resistant GFRP fiberglass rebar was specified as the exclusive reinforcement material for the Jizan Flood Mitigation Channel in Saudi Arabia. Mateenbar60<\/a>\u2122 was selected as the primary supplier of GFRP reinforcement for the project, marking a significant step in sustainable infrastructure development and a very proud moment for Mateenbar\u00ae itself.<\/p>\nJizan Economic City, a key industrial and commercial hub on the Red Sea, is home to Saudi Aramco\u2019s Jizan oil refinery, which processes 400,000 barrels of crude per day. However, the region faced a serious flooding risk due to inadequate drainage systems and heavy seasonal rainfall. To address this challenge, Saudi Aramco initiated the construction of a 14-mile-long Flood Mitigation Channel to protect infrastructure and residents.<\/p>\n
As part of its non-metallic initiative, Saudi Aramco mandated the use of GFRP rebar to reduce long-term corrosion costs and enhance sustainability.<\/p>\n
Project Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- Enhanced Durability & Corrosion Resistance<\/strong>: The use of Mateenbar60\u2122 fiberglass rebar ensures the channel\u2019s long-term durability by eliminating corrosion risks, contributing to a 100-year design life with minimal maintenance.<\/li>\n
- Efficient & Rapid Construction:<\/strong> The construction team poured over 53,000 cubic feet of concrete daily, making it one of the fastest channel construction projects ever undertaken. Almost 3,000 miles of Mateenbar60\u2122 were delivered, with nearly 25% consisting of preformed bends in various shapes.<\/li>\n
- Scaling Production to Meet Demand:<\/strong> Adjustments in project scope required increased production capacity. Mateenbar\u00ae\u00a0responded by installing additional automated grinder units and a new bends machine, ensuring timely delivery. Collaboration with Pultron Composites<\/a> facilitated rapid production scaling and met construction deadlines.<\/li>\n
- Innovative Structural Design:<\/strong> The flood channel\u2019s design required expansion joints in each slab, necessitating complex preformed bends. Pultrusion experts successfully engineered these bends, overcoming design challenges and ensuring seamless installation.<\/li>\n
- Sustainability & Long-Term Benefits:<\/strong> By replacing traditional steel rebar<\/a> with corrosion-resistant fiberglass rebar, the Jizan Flood Mitigation Channel represents a major advancement in sustainable infrastructure. The channel will protect Jizan\u2019s residents and assets from flood damage while significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Jizan project sets a global benchmark<\/a> for large-scale GFRP rebar use, paving the way for future infrastructure developments that prioritize durability and sustainability.<\/p>\nBuilding the Future with Mateenbar\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><\/h3>\nFor over 30 years globally,\u00a0Mateenbar<\/a>\u00ae has been a leader in strength, purpose, and sustainable innovation\u2014proudly made in the USA and fully BABA-compliant.
