🌊 Composite Mesh Rebar in Marine Construction

Building near or in water presents unique engineering challenges – from salt-induced corrosion to structural fatigue over time. Composite mesh rebar offers a groundbreaking solution for these demanding environments.

🚧 Where It Works Best

  • ✔️ Sea walls & harbor piers
  • ✔️ Underwater tunnels & bridge supports
  • ✔️ Retaining walls in coastal zones
  • ✔️ Marina docks and boat ramps

💡 Why Use Composite Instead of Steel?

  • ✅ 100% corrosion resistance – even in saltwater exposure
  • ✅ Lightweight – easier transport & placement over water
  • ✅ Extended service life – no rust = lower maintenance
  • ✅ Non-conductive – safe near electric equipment or sensitive installations

Composite mesh rebar reduces lifecycle costs dramatically – ideal for public infrastructure projects requiring decades of durability.

🌍 Trusted in Marine Projects Across Europe

Trokotex Polymer Group has delivered composite rebar for water-related infrastructure across the EU. From Scandinavian ports to Mediterranean harbors – our mesh helps prevent corrosion and structural decay.

🛢️ Offshore Platforms & Subsea Structures

The legs and foundations of offshore platforms are constantly exposed to extreme salinity, pressure, and environmental fatigue. Composite mesh rebar is increasingly used to reinforce these submerged structures due to its high durability and total resistance to rust.

  • ✔️ Reduces maintenance costs over decades
  • ✔️ Avoids galvanic corrosion from mixed metals
  • ✔️ Non-magnetic – ideal for sensor-laden marine bases

🏞️ Dams & Flood Protection Systems

Dams and levees demand absolute long-term structural integrity. Composite rebar provides strength without corrosion risk – essential for protecting populations and critical infrastructure from water-related disasters.

  • ✔️ Withstands hydrostatic pressure and saturation
  • ✔️ Helps avoid rust-induced cracks and leaks
  • ✔️ Lightweight materials simplify remote construction logistics

⚓ Marine Terminals & Coastal Infrastructure

Port structures like wharves, jetties, and breakwaters require reinforcement that resists aggressive marine conditions. Composite mesh maintains strength without rust, supporting smoother operations in shipping and logistics hubs.

  • ✔️ Handles constant wet/dry cycles without decay
  • ✔️ No risk of steel delamination in freeze–thaw zones
  • ✔️ Long service life with minimal inspections
