Benefits
7. DESIGN FLEXIBILITY Many individual components can be combined into one large
profile. Reduced assembly costs.
8. THEFT FREE ZERO recycle value. Help reduce theft for public facility and infrastructure i.e.
signage
Strength-Density
KOLDING bridge is all composite apart from the nuts and bolts holding it together
Excellent corrosion resistant properties put composites as the most preferred material
