HOW FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER (FRP) COMPARES
to Traditional Materials
LIGHTWEIGHT
Strongwell FRP weighs up to 75% less than steel and 30% less than aluminum – ideal when weight and performance counts.
CORROSION RESISTANT
Strongwell FRP is unaffected by moisture or immersion in water when sealed. Will not rust like metal and will not rot like wood.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Strongwell FRP is durable and impact resistant. It will not dent or deform like metals. Resists rot and corrostion, eliminating the need for constant maintenance.
SIMPLE FAB & INSTALL
FRP costs on average 20% less than steel to install with less down time, less, equipment, and less specialized labor.

CASE STUDIES
from the Offshore Market
Composites Aid Next Generation Subsea Rock Installation Vessel
COMPOSOLITE® was outfitted throughout the mobile pipe tower due to its weight savings, particularly important in the lowering of the vessel’s center of gravity. This is crucial, as the vessel can also transform into two additional rock installation functions known as the fall pipe launch via side and tremie pipe distribution. Both of these require a slight shift of the tower to gain closer proximity access to offshore structures.
Durability Study: Decades Later: Still Better than New Steel
In 1979, over 10,000 square feet of DURAGRID® I-4000 1″ (formerly DURADEK®) pultruded grating was installed in lieu of steel grating in the well bays and adjacent areas on Shell’s offshore platform Ellen. The platform was destined for the Beta Field off the shore of southern California. Now, with over 40 years of use, the grating continues to show an excellent return on investment for current operators, Beta Offshore.
