Renewable Structures and Solutions
The growing focus to reduce our environmental impact, reduce waste and develop a circular economy drives the requirement for light-weight and low maintenance materials. This requirement will be filled with engineered materials. Our capabilities at Structural Evolution are uniquely suited to support your project.
The main advantages of FRP in renewable applications are:
- Enhanced environmental resistance, i.e. removal of rotting and corrosion reduces through life maintenance costs
- Ability to mould complex shaped structures to combine parts and processes to reduce lead time and installation risk
- Faster and more economic installation due to lower weight components – smaller cranes and tackle required
- Ability to tailor strength to suit severe environmental loading conditions
- Reduction in size and cost of supporting structure, foundations etc.
- Composites high strength to weight ratio makes it perfect for:
- Wind farm service access and pilon work/service space
- Tidal turbine blades and secondary service structures
- Solar energy frames exposed to severe UV conditions
- Wave energy service structures
