When London, Ontario launched a $7.9 million project to remove, dismantle and rebuild the community’s beloved Blackfriars Bridge, the city needed a lightweight deck solution. The 143-year-old structure is a rare example of wrought iron bowstring arch-truss architecture. The challenge? To mesh a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge deck with original components to retain Blackfriars’ beauty while giving it long-lasting performance.
We compiled a portfolio of key projects we’ve completed in different industries. Take an adventure. Click on a portal. Visit Columbia River Skywalk, a historic river crossing rebuilt with FRP in rugged Trail, British Columbia. Or join the Navy and see the FRP camels we developed for submarines and aircraft carriers.
