INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the construction industry has embraced Intelligence, speed and sustainability as the primary characteristics of modern construction. The most prominent example of this transformation is the establishment of GFRG (Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum) Technology as a standard method of producing strong, efficient and high-performance wall systems for residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
FRBL provides a complete end-to-end GFRG construction system which encompasses all aspects of the GFRG manufacture from precise, planned production in a factory to the installation of perfectly assembled GFRG Wall Systems at the final building site.
FRBL has created this detailed GFRG construction Guide so that anyone involved in the GFRG construction industry can have a complete understanding of how raw materials are transformed into engineered GFRG Wall construction and Why FRBL’s method of GFRG construction is preferred by architects, builders and developers for creating buildings using modern technologies, no matter what type of project they work on as a builder, developer, owner of a home, or designer.
GFRG Construction at FRBL: An Overview
Glass fibre reinforced gypsum, or GFRG, panels are thoughtfully crafted wall elements that blend strength, durability, and low weight. Unlike traditional masonry, gfrg construction uses a system-based approach where each step is carefully planned, measured, and executed.
As opposed to considering GFRG construction as a single product, FRBL views it as an integrated building solution that combines engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and installation into a single, well-coordinated workflow.
Importance of Process Driven Construction
The traditional method of wall construction is primarily labour based and, therefore, has a tendency to be highly variable. The gfrg construction method of FRBL removes variability by performing major elements of construction within the factory, under controlled conditions, prior to transporting them to site for installation following an established installation process.
Step 1: Selection of Raw Materials and Quality Control
Construction of GFRG is based on a number of Key Elements.
All Components are as follows:
- Superior quality gypsum
- Glass fibres resistant to alkali
- Water and additives under control
Before production starts, raw materials are subjected to stringent quality checks at FRBL. To guarantee uniformity throughout all panels, gypsum purity, fibre distribution, and moisture parameters are checked.
At this point, FRBL’s focus is on using high-quality inputs to improve panel strength, durability, and long-term performance—all of which are essential components of reliable gfrg construction.
Important Panel Features
- Strong composition but light weight.
- Hollow spaces for services and reinforcement.
- Surfaces that are factory-finished.
- Uniform dimensions.
Reliability in gfrg construction projects is greatly increased by FRBL’s ability to deliver panels that are ready for installation thanks to this controlled production environment.
Stage 2: Building of GFRG Panels in Factories
GFRG Construction really sets itself aside in factory manufacturing.
Production Procedure:
- Making a gypsum slurry
- Glass fibre integration that is uniform
- Casting into accurate moulds
- Regulated drying and curing
- Inspection of dimensions and surfaces
Each panel is manufactured under FRBL’s supervision with consistent thickness, smooth surfaces, and hollow cores that enable later structural and service integration.
Important Panel Features
- Strong composition but light weight.
- Hollow spaces for services and reinforcement.
- Surfaces that are factory-finished.
- Uniform dimensions.
Reliability in gfrg construction projects is greatly increased by FRBL’s ability to deliver panels that are ready for installation thanks to this controlled production environment.
Stage 3: Engineering Design and Project Coordination
Prior to arriving on-site, FRBL’s overall engineering knowledge will be incorporated into the gfrg construction workflow.
Design Coordination Consists of :
- Coordination of Architectural Layouts.
- Analysis of Structural Loads.
- Preparation of Door and Window Openings.
- Preparation of Electrical and Plumbing Routing Prints
The overall plan will produce panels that comply with a particular building’s design in advance of the on-site construction process, thereby avoiding the need for modification of the panels upon their arrival on-site. The overall method of planning produces efficiency by eliminating potential conflicts and providing for smoother execution.
Stage 4: Transportation and Logistics Planning
Safe and efficient transportation of products to job locations is critical to the success of gfrg projects. FRBL’s Logistics Philosophy And Approach Consist Of:
• Stacking methods designed for specific purposes
• Edge protection while handling panels
• Delivery sequencing coordinated with installation order
FRBL’s Logistics Philosophy Coordinates Transportation And Job Sites To Ensure GFRG Panels Arrive At The Correct Location And At The Correct Time.
Stage 5: GFRG Construction Site Preparation
Proper Site Preparation Allows for Fast and Accurate Installation
FRBL Site Inspection
• Verification of Foundation and Slab Level.
• Mark out Referenced Set out and alignment.
• Anchoring Leads Preparation and Starter Bar Locations.
• Planning For Equipment Access and Lifting Ingress.
Prior to the commencement of Panel Erection, FRBL ensures that all site elements have been prepared, thus minimising any delays or installation errors.
Stage 6: Panel Erection and Installation
Perhaps the most apparent advantage in using GFRG to build structures is the ease of installing GFRG panels.
- Order of Installation
- Panels Put Up
- Both Vertical and Horizontal Alignment Verified
- Temporary Supports Installed
- GFRG Panels Attached to Pour Slab and Beams
Using the method developed by FRBL, our experienced teams are able to ensure maximum safety and accuracy during each step in the installation process.
Comparison of Installation Speed
| Wall System | Installation Speed |
| Brick Masonry | Slow, layer-by-layer |
| Block Work | Moderate |
| GFRG Construction | Very fast, full wall placement |
Stage 7: Concrete infill and structural reinforcement
After the construction of a structure has been completed, structural reinforcements are added at the time of completion.
There are three main processes involved in the construction of structural panels.
- Place steel reinforcement in the panel cavity.
- Pour concrete to fill the cavity to a controlled depth.
- Connect the panel to the beams and slabs.
Utilizing this method, panels can be turned into carrying walls that can support loads. It should also be noted that due to the design of FRBL, the fill patterns were created in order to maximize load capacity while minimizing the amount of material needed.
Stage 8: Integration of Plumbing and Electrical
One of the greatest benefits of using GFRG construction is the ease with which services can be integrated into the GFRG panels.
Advantages of Service Integration:
- No chasing or wall-cutting
- Cleaner building sites
- Decreased waste of materials
At FRBL, the panel cavities provide space for conduits and pipes to be routed through, allowing for efficient service routing, which occurs during the design phase.
Stage 9: Surface Finishing and Readiness
GFRG allows for much smoother surface preparation and finishing than traditional materials.
- Thin plaster coating
- Finish using putty itself
- Paint-ready finish
FRBL guarantees that every method of finishing each GFRG component conforms to its intended use (function), design requirements (aesthetic appearance), thus reducing construction time as much as possible.
Stage 10: Final Handover and Quality Inspection
Before completing the building process. FRBL carries out a full quality control check.
Quality Control Inspection Practice
- Assess the height and the structural alignment of the buildings.
- Assess the connections between the buildings.
- Assess the integrity of the joints.
- Assess the finish of the surface of the building.
The last quality control check ensures that the complete building meets both the full potential of gfrg construction and FRBL’s quality standard.
