GRP construction
Custom-made GRP construction
We offer a wide range of custom-made GRP special structures and self-supporting GRP constructions, such as Helicopter landing pads, railway crossings, tunnels, manhole covers, Stairs, Ladders, Ladder rungs, Scaffolding, cable ducts, escape routes, walkways, (Anti-slip) plates, (ATEX) gratings, Fences, railings, gates and ramps on.
Structures made of glass fiber reinforced plastic
Our GRP structures are used, for example, in the following industries: airports, railways, offshore, on ships, chemical industry, mechanical engineering, workshops, Laundries, Electronics manufacturing and food production.
GRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) is an innovative material with many advantages over conventional steel. Here are some reasons why GRP might be a better choice:
-
Lightweight and robust: GRP is much lighter than steel and yet offers excellent strength and stability.
-
Corrosion resistant: GRP is resistant to moisture, salt and other aggressive environmental influences, making it more durable and easier to maintain than steel.
-
Design possibilities: GRP can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and colors, thus offering endless design possibilities compared to steel.
-
Cost efficiency: GRP is cheaper than steel because it is lighter and easier to process. This also means that less energy is consumed to manufacture GRP products.
In summary, GRP offers many advantages compared to steel, including lightness, robustness, corrosion resistance, design possibilities, cost-efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Therefore, it is a promising choice for many applications.
