Corrosion-resistant reinforcement for Guyana’s next generation of infrastructure.
HKR INC. is developing local Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer reinforcement manufacturing in Guyana, serving roads, bridges, housing, drainage, marine, oil & gas, utility, and commercial construction projects with lightweight, durable, non-corrosive reinforcement products.
Products
Engineered composite reinforcement products for demanding environments where corrosion resistance, low weight, and durability matter.
GFRP Rebar
Corrosion-resistant reinforcement for concrete structures in coastal, marine, bridge, road, housing, drainage, and industrial applications.
GFRP Stirrups
Custom-formed bends, U-bars, rectangular stirrups, and project-specific reinforcement shapes for structural detailing.
GFRP Grating — Phase 2
Anti-slip, non-conductive industrial grating for oil & gas, utilities, marine, water treatment, and industrial facilities.
Why GFRP?
Steel corrosion is a major cost in coastal, marine, drainage, and humid environments. GFRP rebar is designed to resist corrosion, reduce handling weight, and extend the service life of concrete structures.
Strong fit for seawalls, bridges, docks, drainage, culverts, coastal concrete, and water-exposed structures.
Local manufacturing supports faster supply, better responsiveness, and reduced dependence on imported finished reinforcement products.
GFRP vs Steel — 20 ft Bar Comparison
A price-per-ton comparison can be misleading because GFRP is much lighter than steel. Contractors usually buy reinforcement based on usable length, so the 20 ft bar comparison gives a clearer jobsite view.
Weight per 20 ft Bar
GFRP is approximately 75% lighter than steel.
Bars per Ton
GFRP provides about four times more bars per ton.
Estimated Price per 20 ft Bar
Estimated savings of $2.00 per 20 ft bar.
Bankable Customer Advantage
Based on the current model, HKR INC.’s proposed GFRP price is approximately $6.50 per 20 ft bar compared with an estimated $8.50 per 20 ft steel bar. This creates an estimated savings of $2.00 per bar, while also providing corrosion resistance, lower handling weight, and longer service-life potential.
Markets Served
HKR targets customers where corrosion resistance, lifecycle cost, delivery speed, and local manufacturing matter most.
