FiberCore Europe specializes in the design and production of load-bearing structures made of fiber-reinforced plastic (composite) for the construction and infrastructure sectors. The company supplies bridges, floating roads, balconies and noise barriers, among other things. FiberCore Europe has quickly realized a significant trend change in the otherwise traditional construction sector. This new trend of light, fast and sustainable construction is now being followed internationally.
Support structures made of fiber-reinforced plastic generate significant environmental benefits. Simply because these new constructions are twenty times lighter than concrete or steel, they cause about twenty times less CO2 emissions. In addition, the production process is low in energy and clean. Finally, as a residual material, composite is chemically inert. After the technical life, the total energy content and the fibers can be recovered.
FiberCore Europe has realized eight bridges made of fiber-reinforced plastic in the Netherlands alone. Just last year, the world's largest carbon bridge span was exhibited at the prestigious JEC in Paris. The company is based on a number of smart patents, automated engineering and an innovative production system. FiberCore Europe supplies products that can initially compete on cost price with traditional building materials such as steel and concrete. Due to the long lifespan and because the material is maintenance-free, the composite support structures are many times cheaper over the entire lifespan than comparable structures in steel and concrete. There too, FiberCore Europe is responding to the trend that infrastructure projects are increasingly being assessed on the total costs of ownership.
