“Engineered FRP”: What Does That Mean?

You’ve probably heard the term engineered when a discussion turned to some kind of hard asset, and maybe you wondered what that meant exactly.   The answer depends a bit on the nature of the asset, but we can clear the air now in regard to engineered FRP tanks and pipes.

For FRP tanks and pipes, “engineered” means designing from scratch to meet each particular customer’s needs, then choosing materials and fabrication methods such that maximum performance and durability are achieved.  There is no “standard” item, since everything  is intended to meet certain customer specifications.  And obviously there is no stocking of inventory as each engineered product is made to order.

Repairs and maintenance of engineered FRP equipment also needs to be “engineered” to meet the specifics of the service and operating environment.  A generic one-size-fits-all approach to repair and maintenance of engineered FRP equipment will not contribute to maximum performance and durability.

Because they are project specific, engineered FRP tanks and pipes offer the best performance and longest service life possible.  Not surprisingly, such custom manufacturing rarely offers lowest up front costs, but almost always offers the lowest lifetime costs and highest value for the owner.
