Sustainable construction with FRP

We only have one earth. And we have to treat it with care. With our constructions we therefore want to contribute to making the infrastructure market more sustainable.

Economical with raw materials, low CO₂ emissions

Our products are very light (and yet extremely strong). This is thanks to the use of composite. So we use very few raw materials, and our products therefore also have low CO₂ emissions. Our prefab bridges even contribute to the highest attainable project-related ambition level on the CO₂ Performance Ladder.

Fewer transport movements

Build every product in our own factory in Rotterdam (The Netherlands). From there we transport the prefab bridge directly to construction sites worldwide. This saves on transport movements compared to conventional construction methods. And because our constructions are so light, this also saves CO₂ emissions during transport. Placing the bridge is quick and easy with a light crane, with minimal traffic and noise pollution.

Very long service life

Our bridges, lock gates and bridge decks are designed for a very long service life of more than 100 years. This is partly due to our patented InfraCore® technology. Our products therefore retain their strength and sturdiness. Extensive research from TU Delft into our class 60 traffic coverage provides proof.

Practically maintenance-free

Our solutions are practically maintenance-free (apart from standard cleaning and timely updating of the wear layer). The construction is resistant to, among other things, corrosion, salt, UV, bird droppings, diesel oil and chemical substances. Extreme temperatures also have no influence on the construction. Graffiti is easy to remove, just like traces of fire. Life-prolonging measures are not necessary. The only maintenance-sensitive part is the bridge railings. We therefore position the handrails in such a way that they can be quickly removed for maintenance or replacement.

The entire product can be repositioned

Despite the dimensions, we assemble each bridge completely on site. Thanks to its smart prefab construction and the light weight, a FiberCore bridge can easily be replaced. Again with minimal traffic and noise pollution. A circular solution.

Possibility of remanufacturing

Composite is easy to edit in shape and function. So if needed, a bridge can be adapted for use as a bridge at a different location. Or even for another application.

Avoid demolition with SUREbridge

Our pioneering SUREbridge method prevents the demolition and rebuilding of concrete bridges. While maintaining the construction, we can technically upgrade the bridge. We do this in a short time, with minimal traffic and noise nuisance.

We continue to develop

And then this: we are constantly looking for solutions that contribute to even more sustainability. For example, the use of environmentally friendly resins. In short, we are constantly on the move, also when it comes to sustainability.
