The Key to Success with GRP Piping

Corrosion problems?

Problems with weight?

Facing squeezed maintenance budgets?

GLASSFIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC PIPE SYSTEMS TAKING YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY

Why Glassfiber Reinforced Plastic? Totally corrosion resistant Maintenance free Light weight Low life cycle cost Smooth bore resulting in low internal friction and lower pumping cost
