Stronger by the Shore: How a Boatyard in Naic, Cavite Reinforced Durability with SFT-Bar® GFRP Rebars
In Naic, Cavite, a coastal boatyard faced a serious problem, its steel-reinforced structures were corroding quickly due to constant saltwater exposure. The result was frequent repairs, high maintenance costs, and structural degradation that threatened operations.

To secure long-term performance, the facility turned to RayBelle Infratrade Corp., the trusted provider of SFT-Bar® Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Rebars in the Philippines. Unlike steel, SFT-Bar® Rebars are non-corrosive, lightweight, and ideal for marine environments, ensuring superior durability against saltwater and moisture.


After switching to SFT-Bar® GFRP Rebars, the boatyard achieved lasting protection and structural stability, key factors that later enabled the Philippine Coast Guard to rent a portion of the facility as an Auxiliary Squadron sub-station. The improved infrastructure stood resilient, supporting both marine operations and national maritime functions.

Tested under ASTM D7957/D7957M standards and backed by SFTec, Inc., SFT-Bar® GFRP Rebars deliver proven strength and assurance in the harshest coastal conditions.
At RayBelle Infratrade Corp., we help build structures that stand the test of time—and tide.
