Testimonials for Molded Fiber Glass CP
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 for 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 for 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 Superintenden for 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 for Georgia Institute of Technology
“MFG quickly reconfigured the forms’ design to a straight taper form with bottom flanges to maximize the stripping process.”
