Glass Reinforced Concrete

Mascot Engineering started working with GRC in the early 1980’s, one of the first in Australia. Originally using the more traditional ’spray-up’ method, we began developing wetcast GRC - today we are the largest manufacturer of Glass Reinforced Concrete products in the Southern Hemisphere.

GRC is a composite of concrete and fiberglass technologies. It has the benefits of both products: the solidity of concrete and the high instantaneous strength of resin fibreglass.

As the fibreglass is through all of the product (not just reinforcing in some parts), we’re able to achieve the strength of traditional steel reinforced concrete with a thinner section. This means that we can significantly reduce the weight of finished products – in some cases up to 1/10th the weight of a comparative product.

Most components are designed to be lifted by one or two people so you don’t need to tie up your backhoe, excavator or crane (and operator) for hours just to move product around on site and install.

The products lightweight nature also enables you to save considerably on freight costs – the only limitation is how much you can actually fit on the truck/ute.

GRC’s absence of steel reinforcement makes it ideal for usage under normally corrosive conditions and is resistant to chemical attack.
