 GFRP Vs Steel

Steel holds an iconic place across

the globe, from images of
skyscrapers soaring into the clouds
to Superman bending a steel beam.
It is one of the most frequently used
metals in the world. But it faces stiff
competition from composites, which
are increasingly replacing steel in
applications ranging from car parts
to bridge decks.

 GRP Poles are a classic application of fiberglass that can
GFRP withstand heavy mechanical loadings and the harshest
atmospheric conditions. The major factors now encouraging
the uptake of GRP are their inherent corrosion resistance,
environmental safety and low installation costs. The
lighting poles division.. lightweight also means installation is faster and achievable
with less manpower. Available in single piece construction
upto 14 metres in conical shape, 6 metres in square &
cylindrical shapes. Supplied more than 50k poles.
 GRP being electromagnetic transparent is the 1st
GFRP choice for telecom towers & cells camouflage.
Due to its emend advantages & light weight, it’s
best possible solution for roof top structures.
