GRP designs meet requirements for high mechanical stability and are also resistant to many chemicals and corrosion. They do not conduct electricity and are easy to assemble. We are always delighted to work on special projects for our customers. The task here was to design a special GRP crane platform with a stainless steel crane unit. This was developed and built by TC and is used to raise battery packs by approx. 1 m. The complete crane platform can be rolled manually to the respective place of use.

5door housing A 5door GRP housing for a pastillation belt was designed and built here. Its surfaces are easy to clean and all of the system components are easily accessible via the many doors.

Roof rim for trams in Karlsruhe When manufacturing and attaching the roof rim for trams in Karlsruhe, it was particularly important to ensure that the adhesive bond was secure. These dualsystem vehicles, which are manufactured by Bombardier, can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h. The GRP roof rim was attached to the vehicle body using an invisible aluminium bracket. The adhesive bonds between the aluminium and GRP were applied in accordance with DIN 6701, Class A1, and thoroughly tested in conjunction with the Fraunhofer Institut. FEM calculations demonstrate the permanent durability ofthe adhesive bond.

Within the chemical industry, systems can only seldom be optimised using offtheshelf solutions. Generally speaking, all TC structures are developed in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14122. Certification according to DIN EN ISO 90012015 confirms the excellence of our quality management. The pultruded GRP construction profiles from Exel Composites comply with EN 13706/E23. We advise you on site and can accommodate your wishes in terms of corrosionresistant access systems. We provide design, manufacture and assembly on site, all from a single source.

We can create mobile platforms on request. Discuss your mobile platform requirements with us. For mobile platforms we generally use GRP construction profiles manufactured in accordance with EN 13706 / E23. This ensures that the platform has a minimum loadbearing capacity. These GRP construction profiles typically have an isopolyester resin matrix. For structures that are exposed to higher chemical stress, we can also use profiles with a vinyl ester resin matrix. If profiles need to be connected with angle brackets, we generally use V4A stainless steel connectors. We do not use short GRP remnants for such connections because they are not sturdy enough.

Spoiler for the M5000 tram in Manchester, UK Bombardier designed the M5000 tram as a highfloor tram specially for use in Manchester. The spoiler consists of a solid stainless steel frame with a gluedon GRP profile. The profile was milled on modern CNC machines at TC, glued to the frame, primed and painted with a special 2KPUR metallic paint. It is manufactured in different lengths and designs. It has fire protection in accordance with BS 6853. For new projects, we meet fire protection requirements in accordance with EN 45545.

GRP railings meet requirements for high mechanical stability and are also resistant to many chemicals and corrosion. They do not conduct electricity and are easy to assemble. Our GRP railings meet the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14122. We can provide testable static analysis for your GRP railings from an independent engineering firm. If your GRP railings require a more complicated design, we can also provide a finite element calculation to verify their operational capability.
