Modular structures

Modular construction systems consist of high quality interlocking pultruded FRP panels which are bonded together to form a membrane structure in which walls, floors and roof provide complete
structural integrity without additional framework. The Advanced Composite Construction System
provides rapid, cost effective, high quality construction, even in locations where access is difficult. The key advantages from using FRPs in this application are:
• Monocoque structure, no additional framework required
• Lightweight modular components
• Designed for easy erection
• Thermally insulated and fire resistant

Transportation, installation and safety benefits prevail with the use of FRP modular components. Prefabrication is possible, minimising site assembly and installation time, lighter components are cheaper to transport and safer to operate with on site.
