CARBOPREE® is a new line of products composed by bars manufactured with carbon fibres impregnated with vinyl ester resin and surface coated with quartz sand.

Nowadays carbon fibre can be considered as the most valid alternative to steel for permanent soil nailing, anchoring, and reinforcement of structures built close to the sea. Carbon fibre is a composite material having particular features, such as: high tensile strength to weight ratio, lightness, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue endurance and long durability. High tensile strength of the carbon fibre toward steel allows to manufacture round bars having a smaller diameter compared to those in steel, while its lightness make it easy to handle on jobsite, reducing both time and installation costs. Furthermore, since no corrosion protection is required, once on jobsite the bars are ready to be installed immediately, while its long durability allows amortizing the cost in time.

All Carbopree® bars can be supplied with different blocking systems. Finally, thanks to excellent fatigue endurance of carbon fibre, is nowadays possible to realize pre-tensionable anchors.
