REFURBISHMENT WITH FIBREGLASS

LONG LIFE TIME WITH GFRP

Renovation and replacement of worn decks can be made easy with Fiberline's plank program. The planks are lightweight and are delivered including an anti-skid surface for optimum slip resistance. The planks can be cut to length at the factory but can also be machined on-site. As the material does not rust, there is also no need for further treatment of cut surfaces. Together with the planks, several brackets are offered for the fixed mounting. All fittings and bolts are in acid-proof stainless steel EN 1.4404.

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.
