What typifies full FRP bridges is the substructure which consists of the bridge deck and the railings all made of FRP material. Steel is used only in the form of bolts, nuts, and washers. With the standard profile program from Fiberline, it is possible to configure and build full FRP bridges up to a span of 20 meters. Full FRP bridges are usually pedestrian or bicycle bridges with traffic loads up to 12 tons. Spans up to 10 meters are possible with a girder-substructure while spans over 10 meters require trusses. Weight of the bridges is around 60-80 kg/m2 including the anti-skid surface and price is 1200-2000 EUR/m2*.
Illustration
The Fiberline Full FRP bridge uses material only manufactured by Fiberline Building Profiles A/S. The main girders are from large U- and I- profiles and the decking is made from HD plank. The railing is our standard bridge railing, also made fully from FRP.

Data sheet for decking
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.

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.
