There is an increase in motivation and interest to use
nonmetallics in construction where asides cost reduction,
reducing carbon footprint and emissions is as attractive

Dear Huang Mei Si,
Independent checker for design report
The matter above is referred.
Based on the report ‘CADANGAN PEMBANGUNAN 2 BLOK PANGSAPURI PERKHIDMATAN
39 TINGKAT DI ATAS PT 59754, JALAN YOU CITY, BATU 9 CHERAS, MUKIM CHERAS,
DAERAH HULU LANGAT, SELANGOR DARUL EHSAN’, our design team in Institute for
Infrastructure Engineering and Sustainable Management (IIESM) UiTM conducted by Ir Dr
Anizahyati Alisibramulisi (BEM: P18305 / IEM: 24350) and Ir Basir Nordin (BEM: C18920 / IEM:

Dear Sir,
Reference for project regarding Fiberglass Bar Technology
The matter above is referred.
My name is Dr Muhd Norhasri Muhd Sidek from Institute for Infrastructure Engineering and
Sustainable Management (IIESM), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam. Miss Huang
Mei Si from CRT Manufacturing is the manufacturer for this Fiberglass Bar named as Star Bars
as an alternative to steel bar as construction materials. CRT Manufacturing is our collaborator
regarding this product and we in a process to proceed this collaboration with standard
specification and advance testing for this material to be implement in Malaysian construction.
Apart from this, I have personally seen this technology to be used as reinforcing system in non
load bearing wall, non suspended slab and suspended slab during my internship and training
back in France in 2013. The potential of this material as alternative to steel bar are cost saving,
lighweight, non rusty and good enhancement in mechanical properties which almost similar to
steel bar. This will be good to see the potential of Star Bar in Malaysia construction industry
since CRT Manufacturing is the manufacturer in Malaysia and the technology already patented
and also verified by most of the accreditation bodies in Malaysia such as SIRIM and others.
Anything regarding this matter can be further to Dr Muhd Norhasri Muhd Sidek as person
incharge in this collaboration.

Sincerely, Thank you.

After multiple rounds of syndications with each well regarded
bodies, CRT has successfully obtained the certifications required
to comply with all the necessary standards and requirements

14
Various dialogues were held with Standards Malaysia which
resulted to a successful formation of a technical committee on
Code of Practice for Design of Concrete Structure using FRP

15
By using Starbars, it has been calculated that it will help reduce
up to 70% of carbon emission compared to using conventional
steel
18% and 70% reduction of CO2 Emission during manufacturing and
construction period compared to conventional Steel based prestressed concrete.
