igh Strength - No Maintenance - Superior Energy Absorption

FiberPILE is constructed using high strength, directional fiberglass materials and a resin system formulated to withstand the most corrosive environments. The combination of these materials results in a maintenance-free piling product that is ideal for protecting structures from barge and ship impacts.

We design and manufacture our FRP bridge decks to the unique performance requirements of your pedestrian bridge project. Design flexibility means FiberSPAN decking works with any superstructure configuration and incorporates all design features including crowns, cross-slope, skews, curbs, drain scuppers, non-slip overlay and railing attachments.

Our decks are available in a range of sizes, shapes and depths as well as different strength and stiffness properties for use with a range of bridge configurations. Lighter weight means faster installation with reduced load on the support structure. Corrosion resistant resins means long life cycles, greater than 75 years.

Installation is also available from our partner, FRP Constructors.

Our zero maintenance Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) trail bridges and bridge decks eliminate the financial strain conventional bridge products can place on park operations budgets.

We understand that our bridge products also need to blend with natural surroundings. Thats why our high-performance products combine aesthetics with function. FRP materials provide superior strength and resist corrosion from water and chemicals.

Our lightweight bridges and decks are easy to move and set in place. Each panel features a non-slip surface with standard color options in gray or beige. Custom colors also are available.

Bridge installation is available from our partner, FRP Constructors. The company serves bridge customers in the Midwest region which covers Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Missouri.

Lightweight - Rapid Installation - Low Maintenance - Corrosion Resistant

We've engineered our high-strength FiberSPAN decks to give you lighter weight, corrosion resistance, durability and low maintenance. These decks are the right match for movable bridges and historic steel truss bridges that value light weight.

We prefabricate the bridge deck panels with a range of design features including crowns, cross-slope, skews, curbs, drain scuppers, non-slip overlay and railing attachments so that installation is fast with light duty equipment.

Zero Maintenance - Corrosion Resistant - Long Life -
All Classes of Subs

Composite Advantage developed the universal composite submarine camel to meet the critical needs of the U.S. Navy for waterfront infrastructure.

The camel's Fiber Reinforced Polymer composite structure is an ideal choice for corrosive environments and requires zero maintenance. A universal design allows the camel to accommodate any class of submarine for operational efficiency.

Superior Energy Absorption Project Cost Saving

Guide walls and slipwalls constructed with FRP FiberPILES provide a flexible fender system that bends under vessel contact but then recovers without breaking. These systems reduce overall installed costs as well as ongoing maintenance cost for the owner while also improving safety for passengers and minimizing damage to vessels.

Conventional dolphins typically consist of a cluster of timber piles designed to take high impact loads from ferries and barges. The pile quantity in each dolphin can range from three to more than 50 piles. A single, large diameter FiberPILE can be designed to offer comparable strength and stiffness to an entire cluster of timber piles. Unlike timber, the FRP piles will not rot and are impervious to marine borers. In addition to the maintenance savings, the initial installed cost of the large diameter FRP piles is competitive with timber dolphins because of the reduced laborequipment costs required to drive a single pile.

Zero Maintenance - Corrosion Resistant - Long Life Cycle

FRP composite pipe camels have been designed to protect wharves and piers from the damage that can be sustained with vessel contact. The fiberglass structure is maintenance-free and unsinkable.

The exterior of the camel is a seamless outer skin of HDPE for abrasion resistance. There are no joints or gaps for water to collect. The interior of the tube is filled with closed cell polyurethane foam and ballast. The pipe camel attaches to the pier using eyebolts or chain passing through two stainless steel Hawse pipes.

As bicycle and pedestrian traffic grows, safe access for two-wheeled travelers and walkers on vehicle bridges is a serious challenge. The FiberSPAN-C Cantilever Sidewalk has been engineered with FRP decking, steel supports and railings to provide a safe and cost-effective solution.

High-strength, lightweight FRP deck construction allows design engineers to tie into an existing structure with minimal increase in dead load. FiberSPAN-C is ideal for replacing existing, narrow concrete sidewalks or adding new bicyclepedestrian paths

By prefabricating bridge elements in-house, CA accelerates construction, provides high quality parts and reduces installation costs. Weighing just 20 percent of reinforced concrete, the FRP deck provides a reduced dead load of 4 to 9 psf. The sidewalk system consisting of stringers, deck and railing weighs as little as 13 psf. FiberSPAN-C is corrosion resistant, low maintenance and equipped with a non-slip wear surface.

Superior Energy Absorption High Strength Low
Environmental Impact

FRP large diameter pilings and wale beams are the ideal solution for pier protection systems designed to withstand high energy impacts from both barges and ships. The enabling technology is our FiberPILE product. The FRP piles offer the strength of steel, but a much lower bending stiffness (EI) which allows for far greater energy absorption than traditional materials. Unlike rigid concrete and steel fender systems, the FRP system is designed to deflect and then recover, without damaging either the vessel or the fender.
