Specify GFRP rebar within 1 km from shoreline
Why keep rebuilding the same coastal structures every 20–30 years?
In Australia’s coastal zones (within just 1 km of the shoreline), chloride attack is relentless. Steel rebar corrodes, concrete spalls, and we’re stuck in a costly cycle of repairs and replacements — wasting public money and resources.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
At Beyond Materials Group, we’re driving the “Coastal 1 km Rule”: Specify corrosion-free BlackBar™ GFRP rebar for ALL reinforcement within 1 km of the Australian coastline with 100 years design life.
Immune to rust and chlorides — no more spalling or structural weakening
4x lighter than steel — faster, safer installation with reduced labour
Sustainability – Drastic reduction in CO2 emissions
Australian Made in Queensland — supporting local jobs
TMR approved
Sunshine Coast Council is already leading the way — specifying BlackBar™ GFRP on coastal pathway reinforcement projects where durability against the ocean is non-negotiable.
Think of boardwalks, seawalls, marine structures, residential slabs, and public infrastructure that outlast generations without constant maintenance.
