New FRP Deck Installations
FRP Deck Monitoring
NCC Efforts under C4I initiative
More comprehensive system approach to enable the FRP deck business to grow:
- Specification development
- Industry liaison
- Providing a technical resource for counties interested in procuring FRP decks
- Performance monitoring of decks
Facilitating the installation of six FRP decks in CY2002
- NCC is the technical resource for the counties
- Monitor decks for 2 years after installation
- The decks will be supplied by Martin Marietta Composites. Martin Marietta has established an assembly operation for its pultruded decks panels in the Dayton area.
Development of other infrastructure related applications that can make effective use of composites
- Reinforcement of traditional materials
- Construction products
