Fibre-reinforced plastic – the perfect wet area building material

Wastewater treatment plants are and are criticaland are criticalinfrastructures for communities for the treatment of wastewater. When it comes to the upkeep and maintenance of these vital operations, we believe there’s a better, cheaper and easier way to incorporate smart building materials like fibre-reinforced plastic into maintenance and upkeep programs.

FRP or GRP building materials are lightweight yet incredibly strong and give building and maintenance managers the opportunity to use a product that doesn’t rust or corrode and is the perfect building materials in wet areas and potentially corrosive environments like Wastewater plants.

Glass fibre reinforced plastic structures – strong, lightweight and effective

Finding a building material that won't rust or corrode (and is easy to install and cheap to buy) has always been a major challenge for many building and project managers. Fibre-reinforced plastic suits many applications as it’s incredibly light, astonishingly strong and won’t rust or corrode.

Our molded grate and handrail systems are the perfect solution for walkways and observation platforms in areas where rust or corrosion is common when using traditional metal building materials.

What are the benefits of using this revolutionary product?

There are advantages to using FRP building materials in your next project or maintenance undertaking. Here’s just a few:-

Corrosion and aging resistant
The unique combination of resin and fibreglass means that our building materials won’t rust, corrode or deteriorate when exposed to harsh natural conditions like constant wet, extreme dry or the harsh Australian sun.

Non magnetic
Beneficial when any sensitive materials, instruments or machinery need to work in a non-magnetic environment.

Easy installation
You won’t need any special tools to work with or install our building materials. A drill, circular saw, jig saw, reciprocating saw and hand grinder with carbide or diamond tipped blades is all that’s needed to cut, shape and install our range of GRP / FRP products.

High strength to weight ratio
The lightweight nature of this product means it’s easy to ship and transport and even easier to work with. No welding or heavy machinery needed and the product is tough as nails.

Our range of GRP products are the perfect solution for:-

• Structural members exposed to corrosive fluids or fumes
• Non-slip flooring
• Anti-slip stair tread
• Handrails
• Ramps 
• Operation platforms
• Trench covers
