Slab-on-grade construction requires reinforcement that performs reliably under heavy loads, exposure to moisture, thermal movement and prolonged wear. Traditional steel introduces challenges such as corrosion, weight, conductivity and installation inefficiencies. Basalt Engineering provides a stronger, lighter and environmentally responsible alternative with BASTECH® Basalt Rebar, engineered to elevate slab-on-grade performance and durability.
Our basalt rebar solutions help project owners, engineers and contractors build more resilient structures while reducing labor, increasing jobsite safety and supporting sustainability goals from day one.
Ground floors in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities and data-critical environments require maximum stability and structural reliability. Basalt rebar delivers superior tensile strength and long-term durability while eliminating the risk of corrosion that often compromises steel-reinforced slabs.
Because basalt rebar is 75% lighter than steel, crews can handle it with ease, reducing jobsite injuries, improving installation speeds and driving overall project efficiency. Its flexibility allows smooth placement during slab preparation, even across long runs or complex layouts.
For owners concerned about life-cycle cost, basalt rebar for slab-on-grade offers a lifespan of 100 years or more and maintains structural performance without the degradation common in chloride or moisture-heavy environments.
Slabs used as structural foundations need reinforcement that can withstand ground movement, environmental exposure, and load-bearing requirements. BASTECH® Basalt Rebar provides a long-lasting, noncorrosive reinforcement option ideal for:
Its nonconductive nature makes it an excellent fit for projects where electrical isolation, equipment sensitivity or EMI mitigation are priorities. For contractors seeking a modern alternative to traditional steel, basalt rebar offers higher strength-to-weight ratios and exceptional crack control, supporting safer and more durable builds.
Basalt Engineering brings forward-thinking, sustainable reinforcement solutions to floor slab applications across the construction landscape. Our basalt rebar:
Since it is non-metallic, basalt rebar eliminates issues such as rust, conductivity, and magnetic interference, while offering the convenience of lighter and cleaner installation workflows.
For projects with radiant floor systems, electrical equipment or sensitive instrumentation, our nonconductive reinforcement significantly improves safety and performance. Basalt rebar is also fully compatible with traditional concrete mix designs, so integrating it into slab-on-grade systems is seamless.
Our high-performance reinforcement solutions are trusted across a wide range of slab-on-grade installations, including:
For pool applications, our 400-foot BASTECH® Rebar coils minimize splicing, support smooth radius bends and maintain structural integrity across curved contours, making installation significantly faster and safer.
Whether you’re reinforcing a heavy-duty industrial floor or building a sustainable commercial foundation, basalt rebar provides the structural confidence and environmental benefits modern projects demand.
