Urban environments come with their own set of challenges when it comes to infrastructure, especially in high-traffic areas where public safety, durability, and aesthetic design all need to be delivered on a tight schedule and budget. A leading infrastructure construction company faced just that while building a pedestrian walkway in [...]
Urban infrastructure is constantly tested by the pressures of daily public use and nowhere is that clearer than on bridges and pedestrian walkways. At Poole’s Wharf Bridge in Bristol, a key crossing for both pedestrians and cyclists, the surface had become dangerously degraded, especially in wet conditions. Engineered Composites stepped [...]
What Makes GRP Flooring an Ideal Industrial Solution? In demanding industrial environments, flooring needs to be strong, safe, and maintenance-free. GRP flooring — made from Glass Reinforced Plastic — offers a solution that ticks all those boxes. Known for its lightweight structure, high strength, and anti-slip performance, GRP flooring is [...]
Rail infrastructure requires robust solutions that can be installed quickly, perform under pressure, and ensure long-term safety. When Network Rail needed end-of-platform protection to prevent unauthorised track access, they partnered with Engineered Composites to install a high-performance GRP mesh fencing system. The result? A durable, low-maintenance fencing solution delivered without [...]
When structural demands meet operational limitations, traditional materials often fall short. That was the case at Tres Cruces Hospital in Spain, where a rooftop helicopter ambulance pad was urgently needed—without overloading the hospital’s roof or disrupting the active A&E ward below. Enter GRP structural profiles from Engineered Composites: lightweight, high-strength [...]
When Copenhagen Kastrup Airport needed a blast wall that could withstand extreme conditions while meeting aviation security standards, traditional steel options posed too many limitations. The solution? GRP structural profiles from Engineered Composites. Located in a coastal environment with demanding operational timelines and strict fire and safety standards, the airport [...]
Industrial sites are often riddled with access limitations—tight corners, limited lift access, and congested layouts that make traditional materials like steel impractical. When efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance are non-negotiable, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) stands out as a versatile, high-performance solution. Engineered Composites recently partnered with KG Site Services Ltd [...]
