On-site workability of FRP structures

One of the strengths of FRP structures – such as walkways, handrails, stairs and platforms – is their high workability directly on-site. This makes them a practical and advantageous solution compared to traditional materials such as iron, steel or wood.

Generally pre-assembled in the factory, these structures can be easily adapted during installation thanks to the possibility of cutting, drilling and modifications without the use of complex equipment and without generating sparks, unlike metals.

The lightness of the material also allows for easy handling, even on construction sites with limited or difficult access. A strategic advantage that is further enhanced by the option to customise components on-site, even during the assembly stages, guaranteeing flexibility and swift intervention.
