DOWELS


The corrosion of steel dowel bars ultimately leads to joint failure. In order to permanently eliminate the negative impact of steel corrosion, we produce dowels that can be used to form some of the strongest jointed connections. ¼ the weight of steel, TUF-BAR dowels do not corrode or deteriorate making it possible for you to lock the concrete joints together in a sustainable manner. While providing the required shear capacity at the joint, our dowels offer electromagnetic neutrality and thermal insulation. It’s time to say goodbye to corrosion and costly maintenance; build sustainable concrete structures with our GFRP construction products.
