Structural GRC Technology
Advanced Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete — redefining the foundation of our modern world.
The Technology
Fiberglass-Reinforced Concrete
Our Structural, load bearing GlassFiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) technology delivers superior strength, quality, efficiency, and scalability.
With the use of fiberglass reinforcement (3 times stronger than steel) while completely eliminating structural steel, crush and other heavy weight and highly corrosive materials, GRC makes the perfect solution to modern, light weight, durable and cost efficient modular construction without compromising build-quality compared to conventional building.
Applications include railway sleepers, construction precast panels, and infrastructure systems.
3×
Stronger Than Steel
Fiberglass reinforcement delivers tensile strength up to 3 times greater than conventional steel reinforcement, enabling thinner, lighter structural elements without performance compromise.
Zero
Structural Steel Required
The Structural GRC building system eliminates the requirement for conventional structural steel framing and heavy steel reinforcement within the building system, reducing structural weight, material requirements and exposure to steel corrosion.
Modular
Scalable Construction
Lightweight, durable and precision-manufactured in a controlled factory environment, Structural GRC elements arrive on site ready for rapid assembly, significantly reducing on-site construction requirements and project delivery time.
Faster
Project Cycle
Typical project delivery timelines can be approximately 60% of those associated with conventional construction methods, supporting faster project cycles and reduced time-related construction costs.
Advantages
Why Structural GRC?
Lightweight
Significantly lighter than conventional concrete, reducing structural load and enabling larger spans with less material.
Durable
Alkali-resistant fibres and corrosion-resistant reinforcement support long-term performance under demanding environmental conditions, including those encountered in the Zambian market.
Cost-Efficient
Elimination of structural steel and heavy materials, combined with factory precision manufacturing, delivers compelling cost advantages at scale.
Comparable Quality
Structural performance engineered to meet the requirements of load-bearing building applications while enabling a lighter and more industrialized construction system.
Applications
