The Giant aka (The Emerging Man) is an impressive new sculpture at the Yas Bay Waterfront Development in Abu Dhabi. The giant is a concrete sculpture consisting of a head and two hands reaching out of the water. The bronze head alone is 8 meters in diameter. The sculpture is fully reinforced with Mateenbar™ and then shotcrete on site. Since less concrete cover is required when using GFRP (glass fiber reinforced polymer) rebar, a minimum concrete cover of 40mm is specified. No corrosion protection is required when using Mateenbar™ due to its corrosion resistance and high chemical resistance.
