## Description
Design and supply of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Bridges -  Roadbridges suitable for 44Tonnes Highways Loading plus supply and design of footbridges, cycleways, bridleways and bridge decking solutions suitable for highways loading (up to 44 Tonnes).
The manufacturing process should use the resin infusion technique with a mould. This allows arrangement of fibres at different orientations to ensure maximum performance and if required fibre and resin types can be altered to suit a particular application.  Foam core should also be used between the top mat and bottom mat for structural efficiency.
Ideally constructed using a proven monolithic FRP system (e.g. InfraCore or equivalent) with vacuum infusion method.  This type of construction has a low maintenance requirement and subsequently features a long design life.
Elements of the bridge structures will have an expected design life of:
- Deck - 100+ years
- Surfacing 10+ years
- Parapets 30+ years
- UV protection 60+ years
Also be able to design such bridges and provide outline proposals and detailed costings.  Most structures we require will need bespoke designs.
Typical projects expected to range between £50k–£250k per bridge, depending on size and specification
Be able to manufacture and supply a bridge within a short timeframe up to 3 months.
