Through our design, technology and manufacturing innovations we’ve redefined what customers should expect from their composite products. WE CALL IT d2. SAFER. STRONGER. FASTER. PROVEN.
SAFER
Our d2 products are lighter and as such are safer to transport, install and lift than other products on the market. Their unique anti-slip surfaces and EN13501 fire ratings increase accessibility & public safety.
STRONGER
d2 products have an unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio. This means that lighter or smaller products can be used to reduce project scale. Our material science knowledge allows you to see how d2 products perform in place of steel or wood based on fact not guesswork.
FASTER
d2 products can be deployed rapidly to increase productivity & project efficiency due to lighter weight vs. strength. Our supply chain strategy and 3-acre Operations Centre allows us to maintain a vast stock inventory so we can deliver fast.
PROVEN
d2 products are proven to significantly reduce contractors’ build & through-life maintenance costs. Our in-house services include design, live load testing and FEA, so we can prove something will work before we supply it.
Dura Composites are helping to answer the major challenges facing Britain’s railway network such as capacity, reliability and efficiency. Composite materials are a realistic long term alternative across a wide range of applications within the Rail Industry in replacing traditional materials.

In 2020, Dura Composites was honoured with its second Queen’s Award for Enterprise, presented by The Lord-Lieutenant of Essex Mrs Jennifer Tolhurst at the company’s Operations Centre in Clacton-on-Sea.
Having previously won a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2017, this time we have been recognised for outstanding Innovation – thanks largely to the success of the rapid-deployment composite train station platform and its ability to improve overall safety for passengers.
With many of the UK’s train station platforms requiring repairs and replacement after decades of rising commuter levels and heavy use, the award-winning Dura Platform has been designed to provide easier access for passengers as well as saving labour costs and reducing installation times for rail contractors who can manoeuvre Dura’s modular platform sections easily without the need for expensive lifting equipment and additional labour that traditional concrete platforms require.
Composite materials are playing an increasingly prominent role in the Rail, Highways and Transport industries thanks to their lightweight nature, durability and fire performance qualities.
Composites offer significant improvements over traditional materials and are providing innovative and sustainable solutions for a range of key infrastructure projects.
