Testimonials:
FRP Hybrid Bridge Beam Project:
Refugio County, TX / Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)

" In addition to the lightweight FRP beams allowing for rapid onsite deployment, its material strength over time will reduce maintenance costs on the overall construction of the bridge.”

- Roy Tijerina, Superintendent for Haas-Anderson Construction

"The funding to promote the new fiberglass girder technology was allocated by TxDOT as a research project. With the load testing calculated and installation complete, the beams are actually stronger than we anticipated, thus proving the research positive.”

- Peter Chang / Division Bridge Engineer TxDOT/Federal Highway Administration

FRP Formwork Project:
Jefferson Hall Library / United States Military Academy (USMA) / West Point

“Because these were special items involving several shapes and sizes, requiring separate molds and tooling for each piece, wood-based forms were not a realistic economic or durable option. We requested a bid from MFG from our initial sketches and they researched and prepared engineering shop drawings that successfully met the design and performance challenges.”

- Rich Rohrer / Project Manager / Ceco Concrete Construction

“Given the unique configuration of the main entrance’s arch-and-column formwork system, the self-compacting concrete allowed more flow-ability in tight areas and sharp corners; thus minimizing the placement time. The result is a clean, sharp finish.”

- Jack Vecchiarelli / Jobsite Superintendent / Roger & Sons Concrete, Inc.

Custom FRP Dome Forms / Waffle Slab Deck Design Project: Georgia Institute of Technology / The Marcus Nanotechnology Building (NRCB)

“This unique floor design has more holes than floor as the majority of it is forms! With over 3,000-plus holes in the floor it’s like a big grate that will facilitate the airflow process. This will create a laminar flow (vs. turbulent flow) that will streamline the uniform air velocity for the center’s research productivity.”

- Bob Rose / Building Owner / Georgia Institute of Technology

“MFG quickly reconfigured the forms’ design to a straight taper form with bottom flanges to maximize the stripping process.”

- Steve Dollar / Assistant Project Manager / United Forming
