Regulatory ComplianceOur products comply with the following standards:
Proven GRP FormulationEngineered Composites has worked closely with suppliers to develop a market-leading GRP formulation. By stipulating the exact materials used to form
each GRP component, we can offer an assurance of our products advanced technical performance.
ISO9001 SuppliersWe only source high quality GRP products from ISO9001 accredited
suppliers and all orders are manufactured to our exacting standards and specifications.
Environmental AdvantagesGRP profiles and rebar are seen as having a lower
through-life environmental impact than their steel equivalents. The production of GRP has a lower
energy requirement than steel and, due to its significantly lower weight, can be
transported at a lower cost. Fewer chemicals are required for structural
maintenance and, due to its ability to resist corrosion, it
offers long service life.

DECK500, an interlocking anti-slip flooring system constructed from GRP, is used to create mezzanine floors, walkways and pedestrian bridge decks. Additionally, DECK500 is used in the water industry as effective odour control covers or to prevent water penetration in potable and waste water treatment plants.
DECK500 is a one-piece pultruded profile, 500mm over width, with a tongue and groove joint along the length of the plank to give a firm, sealable joint between the lengths of profile.

GRP|FRPREBARENGINEERED COMPOSITES
Fibre reinforced reinforcement bar is made from high strength glass fibre reinforced with vinyl ester resin. The core of the rebar has all the reinforcing fibre (70% by weight) along the length of the bar for maximum strength. A helical recess in the surface of the rebar is created in the production process which does not damage the core fibre and is sufficiently deep to give a key to enable the concrete to have a mechanical grip on the rebar.
The choice of vinyl ester resin for the rebar is important. Extensive research work has shown that polyester resin does not have the necessary long term resistance to the corrosive chemicals in the concrete while rebar made with vinyl ester resin gives a 50-year service life when used in accordance with the recognised published standards.
