FRP WALERS

Product catalog summary

Introduction
FRP walers are designed for the Unifloat concrete dock system, offering a service life of over 75 years. These components are engineered to provide exceptional performance in marine environments.

Key Features

Impact Resistance: FRP walers are designed to withstand high fatigue cycles without warping or deforming.
Strength: They offer superior tension and compression strength, outperforming steel, aluminum, and wood.
Stiffness: The rigidity of FRP walers exceeds dock construction requirements by nearly three times.
Chemical Free: Safe for sensitive marine environments, FRP products are free from harmful chemicals.
Rot Resistant: Unaffected by moisture, FRP walers do not rot or decay.

Performance Standards
FRP walers are manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 and ASTM standards, ensuring high quality and performance. They contain a high fiber volume fraction of fiberglass filaments, providing exceptional strength and stiffness.
