Featured Service: Fiberglass for Substations & Transformers
When it comes to working around substations and transformers, safety is the number one priority. The other top priority is choosing materials that last, are low maintenance, and offer a greater return on investment. Fiberglass for substations and transformers offers all these benefits and more. FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) is a versatile material that can […]
Featured Project: Fiberglass Dock Decking at the Quintana Boat Launch
https://youtu.be/0QoO2Yg1yoc For traditional building materials, coastal saltwater environments can be extremely harsh. The water and humidity can cause warping, rotting, or rust, depending on the material, and the salt accelerates corrosion and breakdown of the material over time. The timber decking at the Quintana Boat Launch was no exception to this deterioration. Our team was […]
FRP Lifespan: How Long Does FRP Last?
At a wastewater treatment plant, there are many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that need to be removed. If left untreated, these VOCs could cause health and environmental damage. Some of these VOCs include benzene, toluene, formaldehyde, acetone, and more. To remove these compounds, wastewater treatment plants use FRP biofilters. These are layered systems that use […]

Steel VS. FRP for Data Centers
If you’re building a data center or updating your infrastructure, there is a lot of planning that goes into it. From approving the design to choosing a construction company, there are many decisions that need to be made. One question that many ask is, “Should I use steel or FRP for data centers?” Before choosing […]
FRP vs. Steel
When it comes to building a strong infrastructure for the workplace, the debate of FRP vs. steel is front and center. Choosing the right material is important, especially when looking at durability, maintenance cost, and safety. Whether it’s a data center, a water park, or a chemical processing facility, FRP offers extreme longevity and durability. […]
Featured Project: FRP Pipe Racks
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
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 […]
