Why FRP?
Fibre Reinforced Plastics (composites, commonly known as fibreglass) offer advantages over all other materials currently used in the manufacture of pump stations.
Considering that composites are now part of our everyday lives, they are of course taken for granted. However, the benefits of composites for commercial and manufacturing industries are still being realised. They have a growing track record in creating proven material solutions that perform robustly in the most demanding environments.
Due to their pioneering technology, composites are at the forefront of breakthrough solutions.
Composite materials have been used extensively in the space shuttle, military defences, civil structures (such as bridges), and more recently, 50% of the construction of the 787 Dreamliner.
You can have peace of mind knowing that All Pumps pump stations are 100% FRP.
