American Manufacturing Products.... for the Rail Industry.
DuraPlat is an award-winning and highly developed precision engineered Rail Industry product made from FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic), our composite material is made of a high-tech thermosetting plastic resin reinforced by fine fibre's of glass along with the use of added additives and is referred to by the name of Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) that is manufactured to the extremely high Standards of British Rail Network systems...
while providing significant improvements over old traditional industry alternatives - including a dramatic reduction in track possession down-time, limited plant required on track and sizable overall short and long-term project cost and low maintenance savings.
DuraPlat FRP Platform components are an immensely versatile material which combines lightweight with inherent strength to provide a resilient finished product with a variety of surface textures and a virtually unlimited colour range available. By selecting the appropriate combination of fibre-glass reinforcements, resins and processing techniques, we can create a product or component to meet the most demanding of International client specifications such as various; ASTM, BSV and IOS Quality approvals...

While all Products hold a Minimum 25 Year Replacement Warranty, in real-life terms they have been designed and manufactured with a 60 year lifespan under normal conditions...
DuraPlat’s hidden fixing system minimizes trip hazards, and the platform is also 'crankable' to create an instant 1:40 fall to manage drainage.
DuraPlat also features integral colored lines for a low maintenance finish and can be specified with various anti-slip surfaces to blend into different surroundings - such as a 'high-end' marble look for any Station concourse area's or a 'tarmac' type finish to match existing platform design...

DuraPlat station/terminal solutions are the ideal replacement for traditional wood, metal and concrete products for a multitude of applications in the rail environment, and offer increased safety, reduced maintenance costs and shorter possession times on busy networks.
DuraPlat materials have low life cycle costs due to their maintenance free, corrosion resistant and durable characteristics, compared with traditional materials.
Other benefits include:
• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
• Easily workable on-site using standard hand tools
• Lightweight and easy to install, requiring far fewer installation man-hours
• Non-sparking and non-conductive, ideal for any electrified rail environments
