Why FRP Handrails Are Replacing Steel In Public Infrastructure

FRP Handrail 3

Not just rust: the real reasons steel is falling behind Steel has long been the default for public infrastructure handrails. It’s strong, familiar, and easy to fabricate. But as the demands on infrastructure increase, and environments become more aggressive, steel is proving to be more of a liability than an asset. In outdoor and high-moisture […]

FRP Decking Vs Timber Decking: Which Performs Better Over Time?

2017 12 17 5D C01B S1 0217

The hidden costs of timber that stack up fast Timber might be the traditional go-to for decking, but it doesn’t always stand the test of time. Especially in tough industrial environments. From coastal walkways to industrial platforms, timber is often the weakest link. It’s heavy, prone to rot, and demands regular maintenance to keep it […]

What is FRP? A Complete Guide to Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic

Understanding FRP: What it actually is FRP stands for Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic. It’s a composite material made from a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres – in this case, glass. You get the best of both worlds: the strength of traditional materials like steel, with the added benefits of flexibility, corrosion resistance, and weight reduction. FRP […]

Is Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic Right for Your Next Project?

Understanding how FRP fits into modern infrastructure Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) is gaining serious traction across sectors like mining, construction, ports, and public infrastructure. And it’s easy to see why. With its high strength-to-weight ratio, long lifespan, and almost zero maintenance needs, FRP is becoming a go-to material where traditional options just don’t hold up. […]

What Makes FRP the Ideal Material for Coastal Boardwalks?

PermaStruct RapidDeck GORCC Boardwalk 5

Coastal environments are unforgiving – constant salt spray, high UV exposure, and extreme weather events quickly degrade traditional materials. When it comes to building boardwalks that last, fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) stands out as the smart choice. What is FRP and why does it outperform traditional materials? FRP is a composite material made from reinforced […]

FRP Boardwalks: Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Access Solutions

2017 12 17 5D C01B S1 0317 600x400 1

Designing walkways for wetlands, coastal zones, or remote locations? FRP boardwalks offer a smarter, more sustainable solution for harsh Australian environments. Made from fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP), these systems outperform traditional materials like timber, steel, and concrete in strength, safety, and longevity. What is an FRP boardwalk? An FRP boardwalk is a pedestrian access structure […]

Durability and Performance of Pultruded FRP in Harsh Environments

What makes pultruded FRP a standout material? When you’re building in marine, coastal or industrial environments, material failure isn’t an option. The demands of salt spray, UV radiation, moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures can break down traditional materials quickly, costing time, money, and safety. That’s where pultruded FRP profiles (fibreglass reinforced plastic) come in. Pultruded […]
