Case Studies

Over the years we have worked with a variety of different clients on projects ranging from large to small. Regardless of what the project is, we aim to provide a professional and efficient service for all our customers.


	Hand laid glass fibre coating of a storage and processing plant, using chemical resistant resin and a UV resistant top-coat.

SWIMMING POOL STEPS REFURBISHMENT: A fibreglass coating was applied with an anti-slip top coat.

	London based 'Practice Architecture' used translucent FRP glassfibre sheet to construct the 24M long illuminated sign. With the material being easy to cut and install it proved the best soloution for the project. Construction was completed in April 2011.

	GLASSFIBRE MOULDED INSULATED PUMP COVERS, WATER TREATMENT WORKS, NOTTINGHAM. A COST SAVING SOLUTION: These pumps on a water treatment works in Nottinghamshire were continually needing costly maintenance. Our client instructed us to design and manufacture pump covers using hand layed moulded glassfibre. A polyester resin was used and a UV resistant gel coat to ensure their high gloss finish lasted for many years. A thoroughly satisfied customer.

	FIBREGLASS MOULDED GRP DOOR. PROBLEM SOLVED. Due to new Health and Safety guidelines this chemical store on the roof of a brewery in Burton on Trent required chemical resistant hand layed moulded glassfibre doors. GRP Consultants manufactured the doors at their Derby workshop using a chemical resistant resin and gel coat to meet the clients requirements. They were fitted to the store using stainless steel bolts and fixings.

	AIR CONDITIONING DUCT. A WATERTIGHT HAND LAYED GLASSFIBRE COATING TO AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AT LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY, LEICESTERSHIRE. The duct had to be located underground, therefore a watertight hand layed glassfibre coating was applied followed by a resin coating to seal the entire ducting. The duct was encapsulated with fibre glass at our Derbyshire workshop and the joints sealed with glass fibre on site in Loughborough.

	INSULATED PIPEWORK. EASY TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN. Hygenic hand layed glassfibre to process pipework at a chemical plant in Derby. The customer required an easy to clean and maintain glassfibre resin system to protect their insulated pipework. We applied the fibreglass finish by hand and applied a food grade gel coat finish.

	BREWERY VESSELS. NO MORE PAINTING REQUIRED REDUCING MAINTENANCE COSTS. HAND LAYED GLASSFIBRE TO BEER TANKS AT A BREWERY IN BURTON ON TRENT, STAFFORDSHIRE. Our client required an hygenic watertight finish to protect the insulated storage tanks. We applied a glassfibre hand layed coating with a white food grade resin to seal and make the fibreglass easy to clean and maintain.

	FLAGPOLE ENCAPSULATION, NORTHSHORE GOLF CLUB, BLACKPOOL, LANCASHIRE. The salty sea air meant that the flag pole was always in need of painting so we shotblasted the entire flagpole and then applied a white fibre glass coating followed by a UV resistant white resin gel coat to ensure that the flagpole was maintenance free - no more painting required.

	REACTOR HEAD, CHEDDLETON, LEEK, STAFFORDSHIRE. Our client required a hardwearing chemical resistant hand layed glass fibre coating so we applied glass fibre matt and a chemical resistant resin to protect the insulated reactor head.

	MOULDED DE-STONER COVER, BREWHOUSE BREWERY, BURTON-ON-TRENT, STAFFORDSHIRE The engineers had a continued battle with the grain corroding the covers causing vast amounts of waste. GRP Consultants were instructed to coat the internal surfaces of the cover with a hard wearing gel coat system. We applied a food grade gel coat with an 8% carbon grit. Although the system did not remove the need for continual maintenance the engineers were able to plan a maintenance programme ensuring waste and downtime were at a minimum making substantial savings.
