Engineering Support

It’s understandable that, until FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) materials are as well known as traditional material such as metal or wood, engineering questions will come up. There are two ways we can get you the information you require. Firstly, if you have engineers on staff or otherwise involved in the project we can get you access to the Strongwell Design Manual. This is a very complete document that will supply you with everything an engineer will need to design an FRP application. This document is available digitally but a printed copy can be supplied on request. The other alternative is to have Strongwell’s own engineers to design the application.

If this is to be the case, we must be made aware of it at the beginning of the inquiry process. This does not mean; however, that Redco FRP applications can be supplied with a simple “I need a 20′ x 20′ platform that is 9′ high”. We will still require the customer to furnish specific information such as temperatures, chemical exposure, flame-retardancy requirements, load requirements, etc. The engineers need this information to develop an appropriate solution. Engineers are personally responsible for any design they make and therefore will not put their stamp on a project they are not confidant will be safe and successful.

If you are interested in some assistance with an FRP project use our contact form here. You can attach any drawing you may have to that form. Please be as detailed as you can and include your approximate budget if known.
