Cellular Shrouds with FRP

Cellular Shrouds Benefit from EMI Transparency of FRP

Fiberman Supplies FRP for Specialty Fabrication in North Vancouver

With the growing prominence of cellular telephone and data traffic, telecommunications firms are upgrading cellular towers as never before. But who wants to look at them?

Cellular communication providers are hiring companies like Westower Communications from Surrey, BC to install FRP shrouds. The low RF value of FRP allows the shrouds to offer protection from the wind without causing interference to the cellular signals. The neutral colors of the FRP plate and structural framework blend the installation into the aesthetic of the building.

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic is non-conductive of electricity, and is transparent to radio frequencies. The experts at Fiberman provide access to all the FRP products required to make RF transparent covers for cellular towers and relay installations.

Applications for FRP Plate and Structures in Radio Transmission Environments

Fiberglass structures are excellent for cellular towers and other environments where clear transmission of radio and cellular data signals is important. FRP from Fiberman will create structures will permit radio transparency and will also last – consistently outperforming rust-prone steel structures in any location where moisture is present.

Discuss the specific needs of your project with one of Fiberman’s Fiberglass Grating experts. We will ensure that the material you select will have the specifications required for safety and optimum performance. You will also benefit from our industry-leading quick quote turnaround and fast delivery across Canada and the US.

FRP Grating and Structures and Radio Frequency Transparency

In today’s connected world, we depend on cellular telephone signals, Wi-Fi networks and over the air radio and television signals. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are essential to on-site work environments. Steel structures significantly disrupt these signals. FRP Grating and Structures are an essential part of building structures that are “electronically transparent” and do not interfere with radio frequency transmissions.

Chemainus and Crofton Waste Water Treatment Project

Fiberman Excels at FRP for WWTP Project Support

The district of North Cowichan on Vancouver Island issued a tender for upgrades to two biosolids facilities in their district.

Chemainus and Crofton were to receive these upgrades. Southwell submitted a competitive quote for FRP railing, stair treads and decking to D. Robinson Contracting who won the bid to be the general contractor on this project. Southwell assisted D. Robinson Contracting by working through changes in equipment and dimensions from the original drawings to complete this project.

Project Outline

A Strategy for Easy Installation

The lightweight, side-mounted square-tube handrails used for the platforms and walkways were shipped preassembled for easy installation.

Fire Retardant FRP

The FRP resin for the project was primarily premium grade flame retardant polyester with UV inhibitors for the ladders, stair systems, and structural shapes.

Planning for Exposure to Corrosives

2” deep heavy-duty vinyl ester molded grating was used for the trenches for additional corrosion resistance, a key consideration when specifying FRP for WWTP .

Applications for FRP Grating and Structures in Harsh Environments

Fibreglass structures are excellent for harsh environments subject to chemical exposure, such as outdoor walkways on drilling platforms, in WWTP water treatment plants, in livestock facilities and anywhere you require secure and durable walking surfaces. These structures will consistently outperform rust-prone steel structures where moisture is present.

Canexus FRP Grating and Structures

FRP Durability Essential to Chemical Processor

Southwell Corp has been providing FRP products to Canexus Chemicals in North Vancouver, BC since 2006.

Canexus’ North American chlor-alkali operations are located in their North Vancouver facility. Canexus are the regional low-cost producer of chlor-alkali in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. In Western Canada, they have over 50% of the caustic soda market share and approximately 30% of the hydrochloric acid market share. These chemicals are used widely in the pulp and paper industries, and for industrial waste water treatment. These chemicals are also extremely hard on equipment, and FRP grating and structural shapes from Fiberman provide durable, safe service in this demanding environment.

In 2010, Canexus completed a technology conversion project (TCP) which upgraded a plant that had operated for half a century into a modern, cost effective and environmentally superior operation. It also expanded their capacity by one-third.

In 2013, they completed two hydrochloric acid expansions which increased their capacity nearly 150% to meet demand primarily from the oil and gas industry.

fiberman - Canexus Platform and Steps

Fiberman has supported Canexus with new FRP materials for these plant expansions, working closely with engineers, project managers and installation contractors. Recent upgrades have included over 5,000 square feet of grating platforms, 250 stair treads, 320 feet of FRP railing, and two 50,000 litre fiberglass tanks.
