Repair work of all kinds of FRP structures like boat hull, tanks, joints
Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials are designed to get the best performance for a particular situation, and their ability to be maintained, replaced or repaired to a verifiable standard is of prime importance. However, a wide range of defects can occur when a FRP structure is damaged or when an unsatisfactory repair is completed, some evident on the surface, but most hidden.
The product will continue to function satisfactorily until damage occurs due to material breakdown from wear, fatigue, external impact, or misuse; then the decision to repair or replace is taken. If it is a low cost and easily disassembled item then direct replacement does not pose a problem, this being the case in some cosmetic non-structural uses of FRPs. However, many replacement parts are very expensive, and so repair must be an option to make a product viable in a service situation. The experience of the team also matters in this situation. We got more than a decades experience in repairing FRP tanks, joints, valve joints etc.
