BASTECH® Basalt rebar represents a steel alternative for concrete reinforcement rods of various lengths and standard diameters, which currently include #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8 – bar sizes 1/4” (6mm) to 1” (25mm) diameter. Due to unique performance properties, it is an efficient and economical alternative to steel reinforcement. We can also manufacture custom diameters and lengths for customers with specific uses — for example, in manufacturing precast concrete products.
Our BFRP rebar offers numerous advantages for your building projects:
At Basalt Engineering, we recognize that no two projects are alike. For larger orders and tilt-up wall jobs, we can provide basalt rebar in custom diameters and lengths to meet your specifications. Kits are available for faster and more efficient installation.
BASTECH® Rebar Resources
Like our rebar and grid products, BASTECH® Chopped Fiber exhibits the same benefits that make BFRP a concrete reinforcement material that is poised for growth in today’s environmentally conscious construction environment. Like BASTECH® rebar and grids, our chopped fibers derive from basalt rock that has been melted and extruded into fibers. We form a product called BASTECH® Chopped Fiber by cutting these fibers into shorter pieces and combining them with the concrete mixture.
Our chopped fibers are relatively small, enabling them to disperse evenly throughout the concrete mixture. The high flexural and tensile strength of BFRP results in concrete structures with improved durability and crack resistance.
Unlike concrete reinforced with steel fibers, structures reinforced with BASTECH® Chopped Fiber will not corrode. The light weight of the fibers simplifies handling and mixing and results in lighter concrete, which makes chopped fiber advantageous for certain applications.
BASTECH® Chopped Fiber is compatible with various types of concrete, including standard concrete, high-performance concrete and self-consolidating concrete. Chopped fibers can enhance many applications, such as pavements, bridges, tunnels, residential home foundations, precast elements and other structures where BFRP’s enhanced mechanical properties are desired.

Please Note: We require an order minimum of 1 metric ton.
With BASTECH® bent bar and our advanced manufacturing, Basalt Engineering delivers custom shapes and bends. These tailored solutions allow your engineers, designers and specifiers to meet specifications for a wide variety of applications, especially in precast concrete applications. Our bent bar works seamlessly with BASTECH® straight rebar.
Our state-of-the-art production equipment can produce bent rebar in various lengths and angles. Please contact us to discuss your bent bar needs.
Our lineup of basalt fiber products also includes BASTECH® Geogrids, a type of geosynthetic material designed to reinforce soil and other materials. Geogrids are a continuous mesh structure created by forcing basalt fibers through a die, a process called “extrusion.” Another method of manufacturing these basalt products involves interweaving the fibers to form a grid pattern.
The benefits of geogrids include high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, exceptional thermal stability and maximum durability.
This material is commonly used in soil stabilization and reinforcement applications for projects such as roadways, highways, embankments, retaining walls, and slopes. Additionally, BFRP geogrid mesh is utilized in reinforcing and strengthening concrete structures, such as bridge decks, parking lots and airport runways, to enhance their durability and load-bearing capacity.
Please Note: We require an order minimum of 35,000 square feet.
