Power & Utilities

The tough environmental conditions found across the utilities sector present particular material performance challenges with regard to chemical and corrosion resistance, as well as the risks associated with electrical conductivity and fire hazards.
It is a fact that Utility companies have witnessed a raise in metal theft in recent years and this is not only a drain on their resources, more importantly it causes a safety risk as the products that are stolen, predominately metallic floor coverings, leave a ‘risk of injury’ hazard.

The flexibility of composites enable them to be matched to the performance requirements dictated by the environment, making them a safe, durable and cost-effective option.
