Helping the grid to meet peak demand.
With extensive experience in supplying the UK Energy Sector, Dura Composites solutions include Machine Access, Gantries, Stepovers, Trench Covers and Screening.
Our products are unique in the market and provide major cost savings versus traditional materials such as concrete and steel, due to their more economical transportation, handling and on-site fitting. Suitable for use in high-risk areas, our GRP does not conduct electricity or necessitate the use of hot works permits and provides a safe on-site working environment for engineers and maintenance personnel.
A major milestone in the quest to achieve net zero.
This substation features a synchronous condenser and flywheel to provide inertia to strengthen the grid, ensuring that stability can be provided without any power being generated – ultimately meaning that more renewable power can be used on the network. Specialist fabrication, cutting and routing takes place at Dura Composites’ East Anglian HQ and as was the case with this project, our services can be used to reduce man-hours on site or compress a project schedule.
GRP composites can provide major design flexibility, time saving benefits and significant lifecycle advantages over traditional materials such as concrete, and recent clarification of key standards areas such as fire performance have made them more accessible than ever. Applications for our GRP within the Energy Sector include GRP flooring, handrails, trench covers, up and over staircases, utility screening and roof walkways.
