FRP Structural Systems for Electrically Sensitive Environments
Naturally non-conductive. No earthing. No bonding. Reduced risk.
In power, utilities, mineral processing plants and industrial electrical zones, metallic structures require earthing and bonding to prevent electric shock and arc-flash hazards.
These practices increase labour, installation time and total project cost
Treadwell FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) eliminates these challenges
- FRP is naturally electrically non-conductive
- No earthing cables, lugs, grounding rods or bonding frameworks
- No additional electrical certification for structural elements
- Reduced arc-flash risk and improved worker safety
This not only simplifies installation — it also reduces the risk of personnel exposure to live-fault conditions.
Where It’s Used
- Substations & switch rooms
- Motor Control Center (MCC) platforms
- Water & wastewater electrical galleries
- Conveyor gantries with power runs
- Rail signalling & communications
Key Moments
- 0:07 ⚡ Earthing protects against electrical shocks; bonding minimizes risks when touching multiple metal parts during faults.
- 0:34 🚫 Neglecting earthing and bonding can lead to severe safety hazards and potential arc flashes.
- 0:59 🌟 Treadwell FRP is non-conductive, eliminating extra costs for electrical safety in structures.
Why Choose Treadwell in Australia?
- Over 30 years of experience in user safety
- Proven performance in power, mining, energy & utilities
- Design → Fabrication → Supply with engineering support
- Lower installation cost + lower safety risk + longer lifecycle
Conductors belong on stage — not in your walkways.
