Up to 50% labour savings compared to traditional steel rebar. Easy to transport and to move on site.
Quick & Simple Installation
Engineered to last for generations.
200+ Years Service Life
MST Bar is manufactured in Canada using only electric power and achieves a zero emissions standard that is natural to its mode of production.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Impervious to corrosive affects due to coastal salt-water spray and full salt-water submersion.
Corrosion Resistant
Nonconductive & Nonferrous
Ideal for projects with electromagnetic sensitivity.

Sawcut control joints at 4m to 5m spacing maximum, depth of sawcut shall be 25% of slab thickness.
If you wish to use MST-BAR 10mm bars, you can increase spacing accordingly based on tensile capacity of the MST-BAR, capacity between the two is 26%, therefore spacing can be increased by 26%.
Expansion joints shall be at a maximum spacing of 15 meters.
Mid-strip is 50% of width of panel between joints.
Edge-strip is 25% of width of panel along all joints.
All 10mm Horizontal Bar rebars are placed at mid-depth of slab unless otherwise noted.
Cover to additional top rebars shall be 30mm to 40mm minimum.
