It has the benefits of both products: the solidity of concrete and the high instantaneous strength of resin fibreglass.<\/h2>\n<p>The design and manufacture of products from GRC is covered by a set of international standards and comes from over 30 years development. Currently GRC is manufactured in over 100 countries\u2026 its worldwide acceptance as a building material has also born a number of manufacturing methods. If concrete remains un-reinforced, it is strong in compression but weak in tension. Precast concrete is traditionally reinforced with steel; however these precast concrete products are not only corrosive but extremely heavy due to their overall thickness.<\/p>\n<p>Mascot Engineering started working with Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) in the early 1980s, one of the first in Australia. Originally using the more traditional \u2018spray-up\u2019 method, we began developing wetcast GRC \u2013 today we are the largest manufacturer of Glass Reinforced Concrete products in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n<p>As the fibreglass is through the entire product (not just reinforcing in some parts), we\u2019re 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 \u2013 in some cases up to 1\/10th the weight of a comparative product.<\/p>\n<p>All Mascot Engineering GRC products have a minimum fibreglass content of 3% \u2013 this is to relevant industry standards and engineered for purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Most components are designed to be lifted by one or two people so you don\u2019t need to tie up your backhoe, excavator or crane (and operator) for hours just to move product around on site and install.<\/p>\n<p>GRC\u2019s absence of steel reinforcement makes it ideal for usage under normally corrosive conditions and is resistant to chemical attack.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52\" style=\"width: 758px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/mascotengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/image-grc-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mascot\u2019s alkali resistant glass fibre: cut to size and weighed in each batch to ensure quality\" width=\"758\" height=\"350\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mascot\u2019s alkali resistant glass fibre: cut to size and weighed in each batch to ensure quality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Mascot GRC: Did you know?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It can be used wherever traditional concrete is required<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not brittle like polymer so it won\u2019t shatter<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s no need to concrete encase in typical installations<\/li>\n<li>Easy pipe entries so no need to core drill<\/li>\n<li>Pipe entries can be made in any location<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s engineered for all load ratings<\/li>\n<li>Approved to depths of 5 metres<\/li>\n<li>It contains no conductive and corrosive steel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-166\" src=\"http:\/\/mascotengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/image-graphs-gec.jpg\" alt=\"image-graphs-gec\" width=\"756\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mascot\u2019s GRC is a composite of concrete and fiberglass technologies.
