Fiberline profiles and planks can be used for cladding existing or newly built bridges. Claddings with composite materials ensure a weather-resistant shield that protects the underlying structure from wind and weather influences. Primarily we recommend using the MD and HD plank as cladding. The planks can be cut to length but also be adjusted in width if required by the project. Besides, all planks are provided with a varnish which enables them to withstand high levels of UV radiation.
Illustration
Our planks have been used for cladding steel and concrete bridges. The FRP cladding is there to protect the bridge structure from weather influences but also for architectural reasons. The planks can be painted in any RAL colure.

2. SFS or EJOT screw
3. Z-bracket for attaching to existing bridge
4. Anchor bolt

Fiberline Medium Duty Plank
Fiberline Medium Duty Plank is designed with an excellent price-performance ratio. The plank weighs only 6.58 kg/m, making it easy to handle on-site. Like other products from Fiberline, plank MD is made of GFRP. This material has noteworthy properties such as a long, proven service life as well as high corrosion resistance and strength. Fiberline plank MD is also available with anti-skid surface
Fiberline Heavy Duty Plank
The strong Fiberline Heavy Duty Plank is suitable for applications were load requirements are 5 kN/m2 and point loads are 10 kN, e.g. decks for bike paths and pedestrian bridges. Plank HD is corrosion-free and has a long service life, even under demanding and corrosive conditions, e.g. swimming pools, industry and cooling towers settings as well as offshore. Other advantages include great strength, low weight and electrical insulation. Plank HD is also available with anti-skid surface.
Fiberline Ultra Duty Plank
The Ultra Duty Plank is our strongest bridge decking, designed to meet the most stringent load requirements for pedestrian and cycle bridges. The UD plank reduces the weight of the structure and is easy to work with at the installation site. It is also corrosion-resistant against a range of chemicals and salt water. Asphalt or PPMA/Epoxy strewn with sand or gravel can be used as a wearing surface.
Our products are CE certified according to the EN13706 1-3 standard.
Read moreFiberglass enables lightweight and robust constructions, making installation faster. Although the material is comparable to steel, the specific weight of Fiberglass is only a quarter of steel.
Read moreFiberglass is an impressively strong material, able to compete with steel, aluminum, and wood. Composite profiles exhibit moderate stiffness, meaning they match the weight of aluminum, constitute only 20% of the weight of concrete, and weigh just 40% of a comparable steel construction.
Read moreComposite materials are generally very durable, with only a few exceptions. They resist a variety of aggressive liquids and environments, resulting in long lifespan and minimal need for maintenance.
Read moreFiberglass is UV-resistant and can withstand temperatures between -40 and +80 degrees Celsius without deterioration of its properties. Additionally, it tolerates seawater and other atmospheric influences.
Read moreFiberglass profiles are electrically insulating. They are suitable for use in connection with all electrical constructions, such as along railway tracks, power plant installations, etc., as they are suitable for both low and medium voltage.
Read moreThe processing of fiberglass profiles is significantly easier than for metals such as steel, and just as efficient as for wood. This makes it easy to handle solutions with our profiles on site.
Read moreFiberline's fiberglass profiles have a significantly higher thermal insulating capacity compared to steel and aluminum. The thermal conductivity coefficient of fiberglass is 0.3 W/mK, resulting in energy-efficient finished products compared to both aluminum, which is about 200 W/mK, and steel, which is about 50 W/mK.
