FRP pipe racks are essential components to support and elevate pipes and keep the work area safe. Pipe racks in industrial settings like the oil and gas industry, chemical plants, and water treatment facilities have traditionally been constructed from steel. While steel does offer high load-bearing strength, steel requires a protective coating to prevent degradation […]

Featured Project: Elevated Pedestrian Walkway

FRP and fiberglass consistently outperform traditional building materials in challenging and harsh conditions. In environments where wood rots over time, FRP stands strong. This was the case for one of our recent projects. A local rest stop needed a wood and plastic composite walkway replaced after standing water and weather conditions took their toll. Our […]

Benefits of FRP and Fiberglass in the Oil and Gas Industry

Fiberglass in the Oil and Gas Industry

In the oil and gas industry, the infrastructure and equipment are constantly exposed to chemicals, heavy loads, and extreme temperatures. That’s why choosing FRP and fiberglass in the oil and gas industry is a smart alternative to steel or aluminum, which can corrode and rust over time. FRP provides many benefits compared to traditional materials […]

Applications: Fiberglass Stair Treads

Fiberglass can be used as an alternative material in many industrial and commercial applications and is often the better choice. Using fiberglass for stair treads is one of these examples. Fiberglass makes the stair treads extremely durable while increasing safety. Unlike traditional materials, fiberglass stair treads are corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance allowing them to withstand the […]
