PULTRUDED STRUCTURAL PROFILES
GRP I Beams
Pultruded GRP I-beam sections for structural frames, platform members, supports and corrosion-resistant access structures.
Where GRP I beams are considered
Platform frames
Primary and secondary members supporting grating, landings and maintenance access.
Walkway and bridge members
Designer-verified beams for spans where corrosion resistance and lower handling weight are valuable.
Plant support frames
Structural members in wet, chemical, coastal and electrically sensitive environments.
Specify the section, direction and support
Pultruded GRP is directionally reinforced. Geometry, fibre direction, span, restraint, connection and service environment must be considered together when the profile carries load.
- Confirm depth, flange width and web thickness
- Set the strong-axis orientation
- Provide compression flange restraint where required
- Check local web and flange connection loads
- Verify deflection as well as strength
Information needed for selection and quotation
| Input | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Section | Beam depth, flange width, web and flange thickness, and orientation | Defines geometry, fit and available material data. |
| Length and quantity | Stock lengths, finished cuts, tolerance and piece count | Controls cutting yield, labelling and packing. |
| Structural duty | Span, supports, loads, deflection and restraint | Allows the designer to verify section suitability. |
| Preparation | Square cuts, mitres, holes, slots, notches or complex CNC shapes | Separates simple cutting from fabrication-ready preparation. |
| Environment | Moisture, chemicals, salt, UV, temperature, fire and electrical requirements | Influences resin, surface veil, colour and fixings. |
Cut, drill and CNC preparation
Supply can be arranged as full stock lengths, simple cut lengths or a drawing-led preparation package. CNC cutting is useful for repeated holes, slots, notches and complex shapes where controlled geometry and part identification reduce site work.
Send dimensioned drawings in a usable format and identify tolerances, datum faces, hole sizes, edge distances and whether cut edges require sealing or finishing.
Installation principles
- Support and restrain profiles as shown by the project design
- Use compatible corrosion-resistant fixings and backing details
- Avoid uncontrolled holes, notches and sharp internal corners
- Control GRP dust during cutting and drilling
- Check completed dimensions before installation
Final structural verification and connection design remain the responsibility of the project designer.
Frequently asked questions
Which GRP I-beams and H-profiles sizes and lengths are available?
Three confirmed Business Central options are retained under one parent: a 200 × 100 × 9.5 mm I-profile and two 200 × 200 mm H-profiles at 9.5 mm or 10 mm thickness, all in 6 m Grey lengths.
Can GRP I-beams and H-profiles be supplied cut to length?
Yes. Provide finished lengths, quantities, tolerances and clear part references. Include dimensioned drawings where holes, notches, slots or other preparation are required.
How should I select the correct section and support arrangement?
Confirm the section geometry, orientation, span, loading, restraint, connections and service environment. Product-specific data and the actual support condition should be checked by the project designer.
How are long profile lengths delivered?
Delivery treatment depends on length, quantity, destination and unloading access. See Delivery & Collection or send the schedule for confirmation.
How do I request trade or project pricing?
Use the project and bulk quote route with the section sizes, quantities, cut lengths and delivery requirements. Trade customers can also review Trade Accounts.
