News: composite rebars

Construction of a unique structure – a 23 km long floodway – was started in Jizan, Saudi Arabia, in 2019. Currently it is the world’s biggest project, where exclusively composite rebars are used as concrete reinforcement. The customer is a Saudi Arabia national oil company – Saudi Aramco. Galen was one of the suppliers of composite rebars for the project.

Galen and its American subdivision Galen Panamerica participated in the international construction exhibition World of Concrete, where presented innovative composite materials for the reinforcement of concrete structures.

One of the largest events in the field of corrosion protection - The 17th Middle East Corrosion Conference & Exhibition, was held in the Kingdom of Bahrein early October. Galen participated in the event and presented its products.

In early 2018 Technical and Test Institute for Construction Prague (TZUS) conducted tests of composite reinforcing bars manufactured by Galen LLC. On the base of the results of these tests our sales representative in the Czech Republic - ORLIMEX CZ, was issued the certificate. The certificate obtained is a proof of the quality of Galen composite reinforcement and correspondence of its performance characteristics to requirements of Czech standards.

Galen LLC, the Russian manufacturer of composite materials, signed the contract with ARMS GROUP to establish a joint venture for production of basalt and glass fiber construction materials in Dubai, UAE. Galen will supply with all necessary technological solutions and equipment. Company’s share in the project will amount to 20%; Galen will receive USD 2 mln. as a payment for a production line supplied.
