INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTION
Jetties • Port decks • Seawalls • Revetments • Desalination and marine utility structures
ENGINEERING NOTE
Marine design must account for project exposure class, structural behaviour, fire requirements and governing approvals.

IN PRACTICE
Chloride attack in the marine splash zone destroys steel-reinforced structures in 10–20 years. GFRP is immune to chloride ingress — the single biggest cause of coastal infrastructure failure.
Jetties, seawalls and desalination structures reinforced with JRD GFRP avoid cathodic protection systems, coatings and repair scaffolds for their entire design life.

Salt-air durability without coatings
10–20 yrs
typical steel life in splash zones — eliminated
Zero
cathodic protection required
100+ yrs
