The more accurate the initial data, the better the solution can be planned. It is helpful to provide dimensions, details of the support and fixing arrangements, expected loads, as well as information on weather conditions, contamination and the desired surface finish. Any outstanding issues can usually be clarified quickly with the help of plans, sketches or photographs.

Yes, it is precisely in retrofitting projects that the flexibility of GRP really comes into its own. Dimensions, cut-outs and connections can be tailored to existing geometries. Before production begins, we work with you to check the interfaces and fixing points to ensure that the components fit as seamlessly as possible on site.

The electrical non-conductivity of GRP is a clear advantage in many areas of railway infrastructure. However, it is no substitute for project-specific safety or earthing planning. The required clearances, standards and approvals must therefore always be assessed for the specific application.

The key factor is where and how the area is used. For wet or heavily soiled areas, surfaces with a particularly high level of grip – such as those treated with grit or concave surfaces – are ideal. Together, we can select the design so that slip resistance, ease of cleaning and practical use are optimally balanced.

The applicable requirements depend on the operator, the installation location and the function of the component. Typical considerations include load assumptions, fire safety, slip resistance, electrical safety concepts and project-specific regulations. Early consultation helps to prevent changes later on and ensures planning certainty.

To get started, a few key project details are usually sufficient: installation location, dimensions, load assumptions, environmental conditions, and drawings or photographs. From this, it is possible to quickly determine which components are suitable and how much can be prefabricated.
