Case Study – Secondary Containment

One advantage of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) is that it lets you be creative with applications. Such was the case with American Electric Power who required an oil containment system for their electrical substation equipment. Previously, concrete was used but was labor-intensive and difficult to install in remote areas and under certain environmental conditions. FRP turned out to be an excellent solution because it was light, took only half the time to install, and came in a kit form complete with required drill bits and hardware. Materials used were a mixture of Composolite and EXTREN 525 components. The customer was very pleased with the outcome and even suggested it could one day become the industry standard.
