Structural Elements

Custom FRP structural elements provide lightweight, corrosion-resistant solutions. From beams to angles and tubes, engineered for durability in chemical, marine, mining, and wastewater applications.

Custom Fiberglass Profiles

Bespoke structural elements made from Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) provide lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternatives to steel and concrete. At KVB Projects, we design, supply, and install custom FRP structural shapes engineered for South Africa’s toughest environments, including chemical plants, marine platforms, wastewater facilities, and mining operations.

Why Choose FRP Structural Elements?

FRP profiles are increasingly replacing traditional materials thanks to their:

  • Corrosion Resistance – unaffected by saltwater, acids, and industrial chemicals.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio – lighter than steel but strong enough for heavy-duty use.
  • Non-Conductive & Fire-Retardant – safe in electrical and high-risk environments.
  • Design Flexibility – easily fabricated to bespoke sizes and shapes.
  • Low Maintenance – no painting, galvanizing, or rust treatments needed.
  • Long Service Life – engineered to last decades, reducing replacement costs.

Resin Systems

ISOFR - Isopthalic Polyester Fire-Retardant Resin

A high grade polyester resin system, which is designed for medium industrial and chemical processing applications. ASTM-84 flame spread rating of 25 or less. 

VEFR - Vinyl Ester Fire Retardant Resin

A vinyl ester resin system, which was developed for use in the toughest environments. It offers outstanding resistance to a wide range of highly corrosive situations from, caustics to acids. ASTM-84 flame spread rating of 15 or less.
