Infrastructure & Publics Works The properties of composite materials make them a practical choice for creating and rebuilding infrastructures. Composites provide cost-effective solutions derived from greater corrosion-resistance, higher strength-weight ratio, less maintenance and lower installation costs when compared to other materials such as steel and concrete.
In this industry, composites are used in: - bridge construction - reinforcing of concrete products (dowel bars, reinforcing bars, post-tensioning and prestressing tendons, stay-in-place framework) - electric power transmission and distribution (utility poles, transmission poles, cross-arms), - highway safety and roadside installations (sign supports, guardrails, posts and supports, noise barriers) - pipes and tanks
