Advantages of FRP Over Conventional Materials

Features FRP Conventional Materials (Concrete/Steel)
Weight ~80% lighter Heavy, requires crane
Corrosion Resistance High (resists salts, chemicals, moisture) Susceptible to corrosion and degradation
Installation Speed 2x faster Slower due to heavy lifting and site prep
Durability 30–50 years 5–15 years (especially in coastal regions)
Environmental Footprint Lower CO₂ and less raw material High CO₂ due to cement and steel use
Transport & Logistics Can be transported by small trucks or manually carried Requires flatbed trucks, forklifts, or cranes
Maintenance Costs Minimal High due to corrosion and structural damage
