North America’s Stainless Steel Rebar Specialists
Salit Specialty Rebar (SSR)
SSR provides the Proven Solution for Deteriorating Concrete Structures
We are North America’s Stainless Steel Rebar Fabrication Specialists
America’s infrastructure should not be allowed to “rust in peace.” There are options for repairing and replacing structures that include types of stainless steel reinforcement designed to suit any project.
We can help you. If you are an owner, operator, designer or specifier of concrete structures subjected to the deterioration impacts of corroding rebar due to chloride attack.
SSR’s experience and products embodies a solution to owners, operators, designers or specifiers of concrete structures faced with solving the problem of deteriorating concrete caused by chloride attack of the steel rebar from road salt, marine spray or other chemical agents.
We can help you. If stainless steel rebar has been specified on a project and you need a qualified fabricator who is experienced and certified in the fabrication of this unique product.
As an experienced fabricator, we supply a customer base comprising conventional rebar fabricators, pre-casters or general contractors in need of fabricated stainless steel rebar.
The problem of deteriorating concrete structures due to chloride attack is solved
Chloride attack of steel rebar due to man-induced sources such as road salt or chemical processing, or natural causes such as marine spray, results in a severe deterioration or spalling of concrete structures.
Deteriorating concrete from corrosion puts immense pressure on infrastructure Owners and their representatives be they specifiers, designers, operators, or planners to solve the heavy cost burden of premature replacement of structures, excessive repair and maintenance costs, traffic congestion and reduced infrastructure utilization.
Stainless steel rebar greatly alleviates this problem.
How does stainless work?
Essentially, stainless steel rebar provides a significant increase in concrete structure durability. This has the effect of extending the service life of structures to 100+ years without major repair due to the unique chemistry containing a mix of over 30% of alloys formulated to resist chloride corrosion.
Because it is “stainless”, the corrosion resistance is proven to be “orders of magnitude” better than the next best rebar product, such as coated bars or uncoated facsimiles.
There are benefits. Given its exceptional corrosion resistance, there are significant benefits that flow back to the Owner by specifying stainless steel:
- Lowest Life Cycle Cost – Due to a longer service life without major concrete repairs
- Cost Reduction – Due to a dramatic reduction in maintenance costs, elimination of redundant protection mechanisms such as excess concrete cover, membranes, and concrete additives, higher strength steel and shorter splice lengths than coated bars means less steel usage
- Lighter & Cheaper Structures – Less concrete cover can lighten the support structures reducing initial cost
- Less Earthquake Impact – Reduced cover means lighter structures are more earthquake resistant, less costly
