Fiberglass FRP Solutions for Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP) presents one of the most demanding environments for infrastructure in the nation. Brutal winters, extreme lake-effect snow, deep freezes, and vast, remote territories require materials that offer uncompromising durability and resilience. Water and wastewater systems in the UP must withstand these conditions year after year without failure.
TRACOM’s fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) shelters, flumes, and manholes are engineered specifically for these challenges. FRP is completely immune to the corrosion caused by road salt and moisture. Crucially, it is unaffected by the severe freeze-thaw cycles that can destroy concrete and steel. Its lightweight construction is also a major advantage, dramatically simplifying transportation and installation in the UP’s remote locations where access can be difficult.
Rugged Fiberglass Solutions
- Fiberglass Shelters – Protect critical controls, pumps, and other sensitive equipment from heavy snow loads, sub-zero temperatures, and high winds.
- Flow-Measurement Weirs – Ensure accurate and consistent open-channel flow monitoring with precision-molded weirs that will not crack or corrode in the extreme cold.
- Fiberglass Flumes – Lightweight and durable, our flumes are easy to transport to remote sites and are ideal for municipal and industrial applications.
- Metering Manholes – Simplify flow monitoring with pre-engineered manholes designed for rapid installation and long-term, watertight performance against frost heave.
- Custom Fabrications – TRACOM’s engineers can design and build custom FRP structures to meet the specific demands of any project site in the Upper Peninsula.
All TRACOM products are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built with ease of installation in mind which saves time and labor while providing lasting performance.
