The main advantages of FRP in the Civil market are:

• A third of the weight of steel
• FRP complements projects located on complex sites far away from any laydown/delivery area, in populated areas or difficult to reach locations
• Faster and more economic installation due to lower weight parts – smaller cranes and tackle required
• Reduction in size and cost of supporting structure and foundations
• Corrosion resistance reduces through life risk and maintenance cost
• Perfect for use in extreme coastal and saturated environments
• Composites free form capability allows adherence to GRADE II requirements or suit modern architectural designs
• Warmer to touch than steel
• Flexible in terms of colour, shape and texture
• Faster construction times with off site factory builds and single piece installation
• Easy in situ cold repair methods
• Can be made fire retardant to reduce the spread of flames and intensity to meet fire safety regulations
• Due to composites high strength to weight ratio it is perfectly suited for:

• Off site modular built construction
• Domes & Space structures
• Art Sculptures & Installations
• Masts
• Towers
• Tanks
• Access covers
• Aqueducts 
• Footbridges - Full structure, decks or enclosures
