In New Zealand, materials need to work as hard as the landscapes they sit in. From coastal walkways to industrial facilities, durability and low maintenance are critical. Fibreglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP) is proving to be a versatile solution that competes head-to-head with timber, steel, and other metals.
Here’s where FRP is delivering value:
- Recreational Walkways and Bridges
Exposed to saltwater, heavy foot traffic, and changing weather, timber and steel quickly degrade in these settings. FRP boardwalks, platforms, and bridges offer a long-lasting, low-maintenance alternative — blending strength with environmental resilience. - Parks and Public Access Structures
In high-use community areas, FRP is being used for stairs, handrails, and decking. Its non-slip surfaces enhance safety, while its resistance to rot and rust means councils and asset managers save on recurring maintenance costs. - Industrial Facilities
Beyond recreation, FRP is also present in wastewater plants, processing facilities and other sectors where corrosion resistance and lightweight properties allow for structures that withstand chemical exposure without frequent repair.
For New Zealand’s councils and industries alike, FRP represents more than just another material option — it’s a proven, fit-and-forget solution that saves both time and money while maintaining safety and structural integrity.
