Redefining substrate strength in innovative construction
When it comes to durable, lightweight, and high-strength solutions, PermaStruct® FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) sets the benchmark. Engineered for the most demanding industrial, marine, and construction environments, PermaStruct® FRP offers an advanced alternative to traditional materials like steel and timber. It provides enhanced resistance to corrosion, impact, and environmental degradation, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. Whether you’re tackling a large-scale infrastructure project or seeking a cost-effective material for high-exposure areas, PermaStruct® FRP delivers proven strength and durability.
Some of our PermaStruct® FRP solutions include FRP RapidDeck and FRP Anti-Slip Floor Plates, designed to enhance safety and efficiency in industrial and commercial applications. These innovative products provide superior traction, corrosion resistance, and fast installation, making them ideal for high-traffic environments.
The challenge: Balancing strength, weight, and durability
Industries such as ports, resources, and construction face a common challenge: finding materials that provide high strength without excessive weight. Traditional options like steel and concrete come with drawbacks:
- Corrosion issues in wet, coastal, or chemical-heavy environments.
- Heavy handling costs for transport and installation.
- Ongoing maintenance expenses due to rust, rot, and structural degradation.
Clients in these sectors need a cost-effective, long-lasting solution that can endure harsh conditions without compromising performance.
The solution: Why choose PermaStruct® FRP?
We’re creating clever composite solutions that solve real-world challenges. With a focus on non-stop innovation and a rigorous QA process, PermaStruct® FRP represents our dedication to pushing boundaries and delivering products you can trust. PermaStruct® FRP. Here’s why PermaStruct® FRP stands out:
Corrosion-resistant for long-term reliability
Unlike steel or timber, Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) does not rust, rot, or corrode, making it ideal for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions. This extends the product’s lifespan and reduces costly maintenance. PermaStruct® FRP meets industry standards for corrosion resistance, ensuring compliance with regulations in marine, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
Lightweight yet incredibly strong
PermaStruct® FRP offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, significantly reducing handling and installation costs. Compared to traditional materials, FRP is:
- Up to 70% lighter than steel.
- Easier to transport and install, reducing labour and machinery costs.
- High load-bearing capacity, ensuring structural integrity.
Fully customisable FRP solutions to suit project needs
Every project is unique, which is why PermaStruct® FRP can be engineered to meet specific design and performance requirements. It can be manufactured in various sizes, thicknesses, and finishes, making it adaptable across multiple industries.
Cost-efficient with minimal maintenance
By eliminating issues like rust and degradation, our custom FRP solutions reduce ongoing maintenance costs. It remains compliant with safety and regulatory standards, ensuring long-term performance without the need for constant repairs. Compared to traditional materials, FRP offers a significantly lower lifetime cost, making it a maintenance-free and economically smart investment for long-term projects.
