Displacing legacy steel with a lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-proof composite rock bolt alternative engineered for the world's most demanding underground mining environments.
Engineered from advanced composites, FBT bolts deliver measurable gains in handling, durability, and total cost of ownership — over the full life of an underground operation.
At just 0.67 kg/m vs. 2.47 kg/m for steel, FBT composite fibre bolts reduce operator strain, cut transport loads and lower logistics complexity across the mine supply chain.
Chemically inert and rated for 100+ year lifespan in acidic, water-rich mining environments. Zero degradation means reliable long-term ground support.
Decouple your procurement from global steel market volatility and scrap-theft exposure. Composite inputs follow a more predictable, competitive cost curve.
Independently tested across the metrics that matter for underground rock reinforcement — and trialed at major mining operations across South Africa.
Every spec is benchmarked against legacy steel bolts and the most rigorous underground safety standards — so you can specify FBT with confidence on day one.
FBT composite bolts are actively in field trials with major mining operations:
From the installation face to the mine finance team, FBT bolts deliver efficiency that compounds across your operation.
Improvement in assembly speed — composite construction means faster handling on cycle, with no specialist tooling required.
Cost reduction — and you can transport up to 12,000 FBT bolts in a single load.
Reduction in injury-related costs — thanks to non-conductive composites and ergonomic handling.
Off-the-shelf lengths and diameters cover the majority of underground applications. Anything else, we cut to spec.
Engineered for the most common face- and stope-support scenarios across hard-rock mining.
Sized to match legacy steel bolting patterns — drop-in compatible with your existing installation rigs.
Fibre Bolt Technologies supplies composite fibre rock bolts for underground mining, hard-rock reinforcement, corrosion-resistant support, and site-specific bolting programs.
Composite fibre bolts are used for underground rock reinforcement and mine ground support where safer handling, corrosion resistance, and long service life are required.
FBT composite fibre bolts are significantly lighter than steel, corrosion-proof in acidic and water-rich environments, non-conductive, and designed for faster installation with existing underground support workflows.
Yes. Standard 1200 mm, 1500 mm, 1800 mm, and 2100 mm lengths are available, with bespoke cutting and diameters for site-specific mining engineering requirements.
