Did you know that FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) are essentially the same material? The terms are often used interchangeably across different regions. In South Africa, "FRP" is more commonly used, while in Europe and Asia, "GRP" is the preferred term. Both refer to a strong, lightweight material made of plastic reinforced with fibreglass fibres, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

We wanted to share some more photos from our recent project in the mining sector, showcasing the finished FRP Vinyl Ester Sump Guard Covers. These images capture the final product, looking as they were on the day they were dispatched to our client. It’s always satisfying to see the end result, especially on a custom project like this one.

We recently completed a bespoke project for the mining sector, supplying customised FRP Vinyl Ester Sump Guard Covers. These covers are engineered to meet the client’s specific needs, capable of withstanding heavy loads and harsh chemical environments in various processing areas of the mine. The first photo was taken during the fabrication process, while the other two were taken on delivery day, showing the covers as they were dispatched to our client.

FRP Cat Ladders are a top choice for vertical access solutions in demanding environments. Made from Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer, these ladders offer excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and lightweight design, making them ideal for industrial use. Pre-pigmented in yellow, they eliminate the need for additional painting and remain corrosion-resistant even if scratched.
