Fiberglass FRP Solutions for MInnesota
From the North Shore of Lake Superior to the southern plains, Minnesota’s infrastructure must endure a climate of dramatic extremes. Brutally cold winters with heavy snowfall, deep freezes, and significant freeze-thaw cycles in the spring place enormous stress on water and wastewater systems. This demanding environment requires materials that can offer uncompromising durability and long-term reliability.
TRACOM’s fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) shelters, flumes, and manholes are engineered to thrive in these harsh conditions. FRP is completely unaffected by the extreme cold and repeated freeze-thaw cycles that cause concrete to crack and spall. It is also immune to corrosion from road salt and other chemicals. The lightweight nature of FRP simplifies transportation and installation, a significant benefit in a state known for its remote and environmentally sensitive locations.
Rugged Fiberglass Solutions
- Fiberglass Shelters – Protect sensitive controls, pumps, and other critical 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 cold.
- Fiberglass Flumes – Lightweight and corrosion-proof, our flumes are ideal for municipal and industrial applications, offering easy installation and decades of service.
- 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 engineering team can design and manufacture custom FRP structures to meet the specific demands of any Minnesota project.
All TRACOM products are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built with ease of installation in mind which saves time and labor while providing lasting performance.
