Why GRP is the perfect solution for water treatment facilities.

Water treatment is under more pressure than ever. In the UK, our water treatment plants handle over 15,315 million litres per day. With the population growing an estimated 1% across the UK every year, every stage of the water treatment process must run as efficiently and safely as possible.

Why is GRP perfect for the water industry? 

Since its inception, GRP has grown to be one of the most widely used materials across many industries, and it requires a strong, hardwearing material that can withstand a large range of environments. The main benefits of GRP for the water industry are:

• Non-corrosive

When working in wet or humid environments, corrosion can be a real issue; it shortens the life of many materials. This is especially true for structures where access can be an issue, and any signs of corrosion could be missed. 

• Non-conductive

The non-conductive benefits of GRP are perfect for environments where both water and electricity are present. By choosing a non-conductive material such as GRP, you are helping to create a safer environment for your workers. 

• Low life cycle costs

Unlike traditional materials, GRP requires little to no maintenance over its long life, this can help cut down on unnecessary costs such as repainting, cleaning or replacing. 

• Lightweight

The lightweight nature of GRP might not seem like a big benefit, but it makes it easier and safer to install. GRP installation can be faster thanks to the fact it is easy to transport around the site and there is no need for heavy equipment, meaning that installation can happen around your everyday operations 

• High strength-to-weight ratio

Due to its build nature, GRP has a better strength-to-weight ratio than its steel counterparts, which means you can get the safety benefits of traditional handrails without the weight or maintenance that comes with them.
