Following the earthquake disaster of 2008 in the Sichuan Province of China, the government authorities convened an emergency forum to address building standards. Industry experts in construction and engineering set out to invent a new and advanced rebar coupler joining system to overcome the inadequacies associated with current building and construction standards. The design brief was to develop a coupler system that was comparable in price, attained unmatched strength, improve installation, and saved time and money. Further, it was determined the installation process needed to maintain uniform installation of the coupler system no matter who installed, a failsafe installation giving assurance to engineers alike the world over.
A decade later and millions of dollars spent in research and field testing has delivered the current ReoGrip steel coupler rebar joining system. ReoGrip coupler system has been utilized in some of the world engineering marvels from the world famous Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge to Main Channel of Ningbo Port. It has been tested to withstand high impact aircraft testing and the ultimate nuclear blast testing performed by BAM Germany, the only recognized nuclear blast test facility in the world of its standard.
ReoGrip meets all the current building and construction regulations and beyond, making it unsurpassed in strength, installation quality, speed of installation, reduction of engineering and construction congestion, and saving time and money compared to existing systems on the market.
