How does their environmental foot print stack up against concrete and rebar?
What kind of pollutants are emitted during manufacture?
FRP manufacturing uses less energy and water than using concrete and rebar. Because our manufacturing is done in closed molding, any pollutants are sucked into the filter of our vacuums.

Composite Advantage uses Weathering steel beams on the bottom of our FiberSPAN Trail Bridges. This is to create a cost savings option for any parks department.
How long does it take to install a trail bridge?
Composite Advantage’s FiberSPAN Trial Bridges take, on average one day to install.
What size trail bridges do you offer?
Composite Advantage’s Standard FiberSPAN Trial Bridges range from 20’-50’ Long and 5’-10’ wide. Composite Advantage can design a shorter, longer, or wider trial bridge if requested under our custom options.
