Fiberglass FRP Solutions for Michigan's Lower Peninsula
Encased by the Great Lakes, Michigan’s Lower Peninsula features a vast coastline and a diverse landscape of bustling cities, heavy industry, and productive agricultural regions. This environment presents unique challenges for infrastructure, from corrosive salt spray and road salt to harsh freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers. Water and wastewater systems must be resilient enough to handle these demanding conditions.
TRACOM’s fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) pump house shelters, flumes, and manholes are engineered to meet these specific needs. FRP is completely immune to rust and corrosion, making it the ideal solution for coastal areas and applications involving road salt. It is also unaffected by the repeated freezing and thawing that can crack and degrade concrete. The material’s lightweight nature simplifies installation in dense urban areas and remote sites alike.
Rugged Fiberglass Solutions
- Fiberglass Shelters – Protect sensitive controls, pumps, and chemical feed systems from Michigan’s four-season climate, including lake-effect snow and summer humidity.
- Flow-Measurement Weirs – Ensure accurate, reliable open-channel flow monitoring with precision-molded weirs that will not corrode or degrade over time.
- Fiberglass Flumes – Lightweight, durable, and corrosion-proof, our flumes are available in standard sizes or can be customized for specific industrial or municipal applications.
- Metering Manholes – Pre-engineered for flow monitoring, these manholes provide a watertight, easy-to-install solution for field deployment that resists frost heave.
- Custom Fabrications – TRACOM’s engineering team can design and build custom FRP structures to meet the specific demands of any site in the Lower 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.
