The Challenge
A national infrastructure project near Herzliya required foundation piles designed to allow a tunnel boring machine (TBM) to pass through them at a later stage. Steel reinforcement in the tunnel's path would block the machine and force crews to break through that section first, adding time and putting equipment at risk.
Our Solution
Pas-Gon supplied glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars for the piles, with commercial supply by Admir Technologies. The piles combined steel reinforcement with a GFRP Soft Eye, the section planned for the tunnel's path. A reinforcement cage made of Pas-Gon GFRP rebars was lowered into the pile borehole ahead of the concrete pour.GFRP provides the reinforcement and strength the concrete requires while allowing the TBM to cut through it easily. The rebars are also significantly lighter than steel, reducing labor and crane capacity requirements on site. Because they contain no metal, they offer complete corrosion resistance. Local manufacturing allows the rebars to be ordered in any length required.
