CRTM Featured in The Edge: Rethinking Concrete Reinforcement

CRTM – Rethinking Concrete Reinforcement with Glass Fiber

The construction industry is at a turning point, driven by the urgent need for sustainable, durable, and cost-effective building solutions. At CRTM, we believe it is time to rethink how we reinforce concrete — moving away from traditional steel dependency and embracing Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP).

Unlike conventional steel, GFRP offers outstanding resistance against corrosion, significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of structures. Its lightweight properties simplify handling and installation, while its tensile strength provides superior performance for modern construction demands.

CRTM is proud to pioneer the integration of GFRP in Malaysia’s construction landscape. Already recognized and adopted in building codes across many countries, GFRP is proving to be a future-ready solution. Yet in Malaysia, adoption remains limited — a gap we are determined to close.

By rethinking concrete reinforcement with glass fiber, CRTM is not only addressing the technical challenges of today but also helping the industry build smarter, greener, and more resilient infrastructure for tomorrow.

At CRTM, innovation is not just about products — it’s about shaping the future of construction.
