LEADFRP is actively involved in the advancement of FRP technology for civil infrastructure applications. These efforts include the research and development of new FRP products in the establishment of engineering and performance standards. The bridge industry’s interest in FRP as a replacement for traditional steel and concrete materials

Bridge Component Applications:

  • pedestrian bridges, bridge superstructures, decks and guard rails.

Bridge Component Features:

  • Inability of traditional materials to resist corrosion
  • Rising costs of traditional materials (steel, wood, concrete) and associated increasing installation labor costs
  • Less public inconvenience and improved construction worker safety due to shorter installation periods
  • Significantly lower long term maintenance and replacement costs
  • The useful life extension of existing bridge superstructures with lightweight FRP bridge deck

Bridge Component Specifications:

Customized according to customer needs

Factory Tour

At LEADFRP, we believe that fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) products are the choice of the future. Compared with traditional materials such as steel and aluminum, it has excellent performance and service life.

LEADFRP provides a series of high-strength fiber reinforced plastic products (FRP), which are designed and manufactured to provide long-lasting performance in highly corrosive environments, while having the advantages of light weight and high dielectric strength compared with traditional structural materials.

Since 2001, we have provided our customers with innovative, high-quality composite designs and materials through two strategic offices/factories located in the United States and China. It is here that we provide turnkey solutions to take your product from concept to design, to mold calculation, manufacturing, and finally to installation. [More about manufacturing]
