Looking back 30 years to when Kodiak produce the first FRP Rebar in the U.S.A. for commercial sale. 1984 Leroy Heston stepped forth with Kodiak Fiberglass Rebar, as the most effective solution to the US’s crumbling bridge infrastructure. Over time, chlorides used to de-ice bridges penetrate bridge concrete corroding its steel reinforcement causing concrete failure. KODIAK Rebar is the original US Fiberglass FRP rebar. KODIAK Rebar was used in the first FRP concrete reinforced vehicular bridge in the U.S. (W.V. Mckinleyville Bridge 1996) for the U.S. Federal Highway Department.
