FRP Bridge Scuppers & Drainage Systems

Custom Composite Bridge Scupper Systems

Creative Composites Group provides a range of composite bridge drainage pipes and custom bridge drain scuppers. Each is highly resistant to calcium and road salt corrosion.

Not only can we supply all standard pipe and fittings, but we specialize in the manufacture of custom-configured fittings and appurtenances. Our deck scuppers come in some standard and custom configurations. We can provide a bar or round grating in stainless steel, galvanized or FRP that meets all applicable ASHTO (HS20-44 and HL93) standards. Our team can build custom collection hoppers to deal with unique situations that can arise when retrofitting an old steel drainpipe on an existing bridge structure.

We design all our bridge draining system components for very long and reliable service life. CCG adds UV inhibitors and waxes to the resin system to ensure maximum resistance to the elements. Our team will pigment the resin to match any color that you require and this allows the color to be consistent throughout the laminate. The standard piping that we offer includes a 50 mil corrosion barrier. However, we can customize it to suit any specification.

FRP is Corrosion Resistant, Strong, Light and Easy to Install

The replacement of existing steel bridge drainage components with durable FRP alternatives increases the service life. As a result, FRP can reduce the overall installation costs due to reduced support system requirements and ease of handling. The inherent corrosion resistance of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) scuppers and drain pipes is the best choice for bridge, road and highway applications.

"By using fibreglass instead of steel for bridge drainage our customers get decades of worry-free operation and a system that won't fail due to corrosion."

Scuppers & Drains for Industrial Fluid Conveyance

In the field, leaking or easily damaged and clogged bridge drainage systems can spell disaster. Whether it's potentially harmful substances or simply water that's vital to the proper operation of equipment, fluids conveyed through drain systems need to get where they're supposed to go — without exception. Our fiberglass scuppers and bridge drain products are engineered for high performance, even in the most demanding circumstances. When compared to steel or PVC, FRP is impervious to roads salts, solvents, acids and oils. FRP is the best choice for managing corrosive bridge effluent.

Advantages of FRP Bridge Drainage Systems:

• Highly Corrosion Resistant to all DOT Maintenance Chemicals
• Lightweight at 20% the Weight of Steel and Iron
• Easily Transported and Handled No Large Cranes Required
• Customizable for any Application
• Very High Strength to Weight Ratio
• Uniform Color Throughout
• Resistant to any Environment Including Salt Water
• Can be Installed Elevated and Direct Burial
• Easily Repaired in Place in the Event of Damage
• Rebar and Support Plates can be Incorporated into the Fabrication

Reasons to Consider FRP for Bridge Drainage:

• Reduced Weight – FRP is a fraction of the weight of steel or PVC. The reduction in bridge drain system weight means fewer supports are required
• Lower Installation Costs – FRP's lighter weight translates into ease of handling and installation
• Thermal Performance – FRP is engineered to have superior expansion/contraction performance compared to PVC, HDPE and Steel
• Customizable Components – FRP Scuppers and Drain Pipe systems can be customized for nearly any industrial or bridge drainage installation or project requirements
