Traffic Infrastructures & FRP Bridges

Unsure exactly what type of bridge will best suit your needs? A hybrid bridge is constructed using multiple materials to leverage their distinct properties. Our hybrid bridge construction incorporating fibreglass typically features a composite fibre U-Girder substructure paired with a concrete bridge deck. This design takes advantage of the durability of a concrete deck and the corrosion-resistant, FRP Supporting Beams. Alternatively, the bridge can be designed with other materials such as reinforced concrete, aluminium, or wood for the substructure, along with various anchoring methods.

When weight is a concern, a fully fibreglass bridge is the ideal solution. With a density that is only a quarter of steel, it significantly reduces the overall weight of the bridge.

• Durable – with an expected 100-year design life
• Inert – fully resistant to rot, rust and corrosion in saltwater
• Resistant to termites and acid sulfate soils
• Lightweight, making it safer to handle, transport and install
• Modular by design so can be assembled off-site and craned or trucked into place saving you onsite time and expenses whilst reducing weather impacts to your project
• Cost effective – with reduced maintenance and replacement cycles resulting in significant savings over the lifetime of the structure
• Non-leaching, so will not release harmful substances into the environment making it suitable for areas of high conservation value
• Plus structures made from FRP contribute to decarbonisation in construction and reducing global warming through less embodied carbon
