The composite slabs and trench covers are the fiber-reinforced plastic alternatives to concrete slabs. They can be used to cover walkways, trench cover access points, highways and sewers. They are durable, sturdy and durable. Composite slabs have the following advantages:
1. Lightweight
FRP, also known as fiber reinforced plastic, weighs about 1/3 of concrete, however, it is extremely strong. In actual fact, FRP regularly outperforms concrete in impact and point load tests. The lightness of FRP permits a single person to lift, which helps to lower maintenance costs. You can also hire a professional concrete slab insulation company to install concrete slabs.
2. Anti-Slip
Trench covers made of composite, due to the presence of their gritted surface offer exceptional anti-slip protection in any conditions. This ensures secure access when the weather is bad.
3. Corrosion And Fire, Weather And Impact Reflective/Resistant
Composite slabs have been tested to be resistant to breakage, decay as well as extreme weather. They are very robust and resist chemical and fire, which makes the perfect choice for mining, construction and oil-rigs. FRP slabs are employed for molding metal and plastic recycling in the incinerators!
The composite trench cover has proven to have impressive results during deflection tests that can take heavy impact without permanent deformation.
4. Non-Magnetic, Non-Sparking, Non-Conductive
Composite slabs are magnetically inert; they are non-sparking, non-conductive and do not conduct electricity, which makes them suitable to be used in areas with high risk of fire. They are suitable for use in railroad fuel stations, refineries for oil underground mining operations, ammunition factories, and so on.
5. Maintenance-free, easy to install
Composite trench covers are simple to set up. simple hand tools can be used to put them in place and then take them off. Composite slabs are lighter than other types of materials, thus reducing the cost of labor. Durable and sturdy FRP slabs require minimal ongoing maintenance.
