FRP Handrail: The Ultimate Solution for Durability and Low Maintenance!

In modern construction, material innovation is key to creating stronger, more durable, and efficient structures. One material that is increasingly being used is Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP).

As a leading provider of FRP-based solutions, PT Origa Mulia has demonstrated the success of this material in various major projects, including the application of FRP Handrails, which excel in both durability and safety.

Why FRP Handrails Are a Superior Choice?

PT Origa Mulia has successfully implemented FRP handrails in multiple major projects due to the distinct advantages this material offers over conventional handrails. Here are several reasons why FRP handrails are the preferred choice:

Lighweight and Easy Installation

Unlike heavy steel handrails that require heavy equipment for installation, FRP handrails are lightweight, making installation easier and faster. This helps reduce labor costs and accelerates project completion.

Resistant to Corrosion and Chemicals

FRP handrails offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, especially in industrial environments with harsh chemicals. In settings such as chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and coastal areas, FRP outlasts steel handrails that are prone to rust.

High Strength and Durability

Despite being lighter than steel, FRP handrails are designed to withstand heavy loads and pressure over time, making them ideal for projects requiring strong and secure guardrail systems.

Low Maintenance Requirements

One of the key benefits of FRP handrails is their low maintenance needs. They don’t require repainting or additional protective coatings like steel, which significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs.

UV and Weather Resistant

Outdoors, FRP handrails provide excellent resistance to UV rays and extreme weather conditions. This makes them suitable for open-air projects frequently exposed to sunlight, rain, and temperature changes.

Successful Applications of FRP Handrails by PT Origa Mulia

Mining and Resource Projects
The mining industry demands materials that can endure harsh environmental conditions. PT Origa Mulia has successfully implemented FRP handrails in mining facilities, particularly in access areas and platforms. Thanks to their resistance to corrosion and moisture, these handrails offer a longer lifespan and improved safety compared to steel alternatives.

Power Plants
Power plants operate in extreme environments, exposing materials to heat, chemicals, and humidity that can corrode metals. FRP handrails have been widely used in power plant projects due to their corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and non-conductive properties.

In steam and gas power plants, for example, FRP handrails reduce maintenance costs since they don’t require repainting or additional coatings. Their insulating properties also enhance safety around high-voltage equipment.

Utilities and Water Treatment Facilities
In utility sectors, such as water purification and wastewater treatment plants, FRP handrails have proven effective for stairs, platforms, and work areas. FRP’s resistance to moisture and chemical exposure ensures these handrails remain secure and durable even in challenging environments.

Oil and Gas Industry
The oil and gas sector demand materials with high safety and durability standards. PT Origa Mulia has successfully implemented FRP handrails in offshore drilling platforms and refineries.

FRP’s ability to withstand saltwater, chemicals, and high-pressure environments makes it ideal for these facilities. Its lightweight and fire-resistant properties also contribute to structural safety without adding unnecessary weight.

Public Transportation Facilities
In public transport facilities like train stations and bus terminals, FRP handrails are used for guardrails along stairways, platforms, and public areas. Their resistance to weather exposure and minimal maintenance needs make them highly efficient for long-term use, ensuring passenger safety.

Sports and Recreation Facilities
FRP handrails have also been applied in sports and recreational venues, such as stadiums and swimming pools, to secure public areas and seating sections. Their resistance to extreme weather and UV exposure makes them ideal for outdoor sports facilities. The low maintenance requirements ensure they remain in top condition without incurring additional costs.
