Think of the utility pole and most often, the wooden pole comes to mind. Whenever severe weather happens, an age old problem surfaces where the power supply to that part …

Put yourself in the shoes of a race car driver where his whole mindset is geared towards speed and performance. An edge, even a slight one, over other cars can …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rods can be made for a wide range of applications in the infrastructure and building and construction industries. Made up of two elements ─ a fiber …

High-strength wood is expensive and difficult to obtain. This is where the pultruded reinforcement can be used on wood to maintain and increase its strength. Glue laminated (or Glulam) beams …

Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) profiles are particularly useful in applications where metals are unable to provide an optimal solution: for example, where corrosion is a concern or lightweight structural shapes …

Vulcanized fiber was used as the casing material for the common one-time industrial fuses. This material was used as an enclosure for the fuse element serving as an arc quencher …

Composite products are very different from traditional materials. They derive their structural properties mostly from fiber reinforcement. Thin glass fibers, which exhibit high tensile strength, are susceptible to damage. On …

Quietly but surely, a big change is taking place in the construction industry. Traditional building materials like wood and metals such as steel and aluminum are being replaced by composite …

When we think about the utilities sector, the first thing that probably comes to mind is electricity. For many years, wood materials have been used to build power poles that run …

The construction industry is always on the hunt for better alternatives to traditionally used materials like wood, steel and aluminum. Emerging as a viable alternative for a variety of infrastructure …
