Reducing transportation costs and potential occupational health and safety hazards for workers.
Reducing risks of electrocution and making this a versatile use product.
FRP products provide ultimate strength with very high safety factors. Since FRP material is not as stiff as other competitive construction materials; stiffness performance requirements drive the design of many of our FRP products. Deflection criteria has become one of the most important performances checks we utilize. In addition, static tests of FRP products have clearly demonstrated that FRP greatly exceeds specified performance requirements and provides competitively high safety factors – making it a strong performance competitor to other traditional structural materials.
Fabricating customised FRP in a factory and shipping them to your site offers several advantages over many other alternative products. This includes quality can be closely monitored in a controlled environment; the potential for weather delays can be greatly reduced; and most significantly, project down-time can be substantially reduced. Once a superstructure is prepared, prefabricated FRP can be installed quickly, compared to other labor-intensive processes.
Because FRP materials are not susceptible to corrosion, FRP products offer a great alternative to conventional materials for this major maintenance issue. This benefit is most important in cold climates with snow or coastal areas with salt water. FRP materials have demonstrated excellent durability in corrosive chemical environments for 50 years without degradation.
Corrosion resistance results in very low maintenance of FRP products, which translates to lower future maintenance costs. It also means that FRP products will last longer than traditional materials. These add up to lower life cycle costs for FRP.
Compared with steel, timber or other construction materials, FRP is the most economical and efficient solution for harsh industrial and demanding structural construction. FRP also able to withstand severe weather conditions of Australia.
