FRP Rail Platform Slab Panels
When looking for high-strength, lightweight, corrosion-resistant panels for mass transit rail platforms, the basic panel is an FRP slab panel. The panels install quickly with light-duty equipment and provide long-lasting durability even when deicing chemicals are constantly used. Panels are 80% lighter than concrete but have high strength.
Slab platform panels are typically used on support stringers that are parallel to the track. Panels are the width of the platform; with lengths selected for construction ease. There are two slab panel options.
SuperDeck® Mass Transit FRP Decking
For platform panels with constant cross-sections and support spans of eight (8) feet, the Superdeck Mass Transit Deck (GR250) was engineered specifically for speedy installations. Pultruded profiles are bonded together to create the panel.
FiberSpan™ FRP Molded Rail Platforms
For platform panels desiring customized design features, the FiberSpan panel is used on support spans to fifteen (15) feet. This molded panel has crowns or cross-slopes, curbs, drainage scuppers and attachment points for railings and equipment.
All FRP platform panels include a non-slip surface, warning tactiles and rub rails.
When platform panels need to span greater than 15 feet, then the FRP Double Tee product is ideal.
