The Risks

There are well-known risks in the construction industry when using conventional construction materials like steel, including:

• Oxidation and corrosion
• Deformation
• High electrical and thermal conductivity
• High installation costs due to material weight and galvanization

Above risk factors result in high maintenance costs, especially in coastal and maritime environments or where warm and humid temperatures are present.

These risks can be avoided by using Real Safety FRP construction solutions:

• Unaffected by water and resistant to chemicals
• Will not deform under impact
• Non-conductive and insulator to thermal conductivity
• Low installation costs – no use of torches
• Low weight – 1/3 of steel
• Long product life
• Low maintenance costs

In many cases, our FRP construction solutions can replace steel as non-corrosive, yet structurally sound construction materials. Construction safety risks avoided by using Real Safety FRP solutions.

Take a look at our Saudi Arabia West Coast Case study, a project to build eight sea water desalination plants. In this construction project, several of our FRP products were successfully used in an environment exposed to high levels of corrosion and humidity.
