What are the advantages of Corrosion Resistant GRP over more traditional
In most environments, Corrosion Resistant GRP is far more corrosion resistant than concrete or steel.
While coatings help the corrosion resistance of concrete and steel, the corrosion resistant coating is
relatively thin. A pin hole can lead to significant corrosive attack. GRP, by contrast, is corrosion
resistant throughout. Components made from GRP are lighter in weight than concrete and steel,
which is often a significant advantage. A number of other advantages could be noted. In piping,
Corrosion Ressitant GRP is smoother, reducing pump size and power consumption. In sea water
piping, marine growth is much less severe in GRP pipe than concrete or steel pipe
