Delta, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2026) - Fab-Form Industries Ltd. (TSXV: FBF) ("Fab-Form^®" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the patenting and the start of development of an innovative foundation wall system utilizing pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) technology. The system combines engineered composite structural members and pultruded sheathing panels to create a high-performance alternative to traditional concrete foundation walls.

The system features prefabricated foundation wall panels constructed from pultruded FRP I-beams, pultruded top and bottom profiles, and interlocking composite sheathing panels. The modular components are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site, offering a streamlined installation process while delivering structural performance capable of resisting soil pressure and supporting building loads.

Key features of the system include:

• Modular prefabricated wall panels for rapid on-site assembly.
• Pultruded FRP structural components engineered to resist soil loads and vertical building loads.
• Lightweight construction that improve seismic performance by reducing structural mass.
• Interlocking sheathing panels are designed to enhance wall rigidity and resist soil pressure.
• Moisture-resistant composite materials that are not susceptible to the water absorption concerns associated with some conventional systems.
• Reduced dependence on concrete and associated construction processes.

The technology addresses several longstanding challenges associated with concrete foundations, including high material costs, labor-intensive installation, significant carbon emissions, and substantial structural weight. Unlike conventional foundation systems, the composite wall technology is designed to be moisture-resistant, non-hygroscopic, and highly durable in below-grade applications.

The foundation wall system can be configured for a variety of below-grade construction applications and includes engineered corner and sheathing connection components to simplify installation and maintain structural continuity throughout the foundation assembly.

"Our objective was to create a foundation system that combines structural performance with speed, affordability, and sustainability," said Rick Fearn, CTO. "By leveraging advanced pultrusion manufacturing and fiber-reinforced polymer materials, we are developing a solution that will dramatically reduce installation time while providing long-term durability and resilience."

"This glass-fiber project follows well with our Space-R™", confirmed Joey Fearn, President. "And with a total addressable market worth billions of dollars, we are excited."
