Pultron Composites (Gisborne, New Zealand) recently highlighted two successful construction projects involving the use of Mateenbar high-performance glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebar, including development of the Matai Medical Research Institute and construction of a reinforced concrete breakwater for the Tauranga Bridge Marina.

Construction of the Mātai Medical Research Institute was contracted by Dawson Building Co. in 2022. The facility, dedicated to medical innovation in New Zealand, involved integration of Mateenbar into the facility’s concrete slab.
