THE POSSIBLE APPLICATION OF TEMPORARY COMPOSITE STRUCTURES WITHIN THE B.R. NETWORK

Continuous filament glass fibres held in a resinous matrix-in this case polyester-can be arranged to form lattice structures. Structures formed in this manner can provide distinct technical and commercial advantages when compared with structural steel fabrications. Significant advantages have been demonstrated by using such structures on temporary overhead electrification supports and the indications are that more permanent applications are feasible offering very worthwhile savings in first cost, maintenance and erection.
