00:00:02.420 --> 00:00:05.300
<v Speaker1>FRP is fibre reinforced polymer.FRP

2
00:00:05.450 --> 00:00:10.340
<v Speaker1>Traditionally, when people think about a
bridge, they think of wood, steel, concrete

3
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:16.240
<v Speaker1>or aluminum. FRP is a composite and it's a
little bit newer to the market.

4
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.250
<v Speaker2>The pieces are light enough that you can
carry them in to the back country.

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.990
<v Speaker2>You don't need heavy machinery.

6
00:00:22.990 --> 00:00:24.250
<v Speaker2>You don't need to rent a crane.

7
00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:28.450
<v Speaker2>You don't need to make a road to get to the
location of where you're setting your bridge.

8
00:00:28.450 --> 00:00:32.440
<v Speaker2>And you don't need the experienced bridge
contractors to put the bridge in place.

9
00:00:32.470 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker3>We send assembly plans along with these
bridges.

10
00:00:36.100 --> 00:00:40.360
<v Speaker3>Each part has a number, and you just kind of
follow the plans and make sure all the

11
00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:41.500
<v Speaker3>numbers match up.

12
00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:44.830
<v Speaker2>It's basically an adult Lego set.

13
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:48.190
<v Speaker1>Our customers, they love them.

14
00:00:48.190 --> 00:00:51.910
<v Speaker1>Once they build an FRP bridge, they don't
really want to build timber anymore.

15
00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker1>They think it goes together really easy.

16
00:00:54.430 --> 00:00:56.620
<v Speaker1>It's just going to last a really long time.

17
00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:01.060
<v Speaker1>You're not going to have to get back out to
these remote settings to replace decking and

18
00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker1>replace parts.

19
00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:04.720
<v Speaker2>We're actually working with a customer right
now.

20
00:01:05.230 --> 00:01:07.750
<v Speaker2>They're buying seven bridges from us.

21
00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:12.070
<v Speaker2>This is replacing a network of bridges they
had on their property.

22
00:01:12.310 --> 00:01:13.630
<v Speaker2>There were timber bridges.

23
00:01:13.630 --> 00:01:18.550
<v Speaker2>They were going out and painting them every
year just to prevent the decay and the rot

24
00:01:18.550 --> 00:01:20.050
<v Speaker2>that was going on there.

25
00:01:20.410 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker2>FRP was a good solution for them because
it's it's done now and they have a safe

26
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:32.780
<v Speaker2>bridge. I love making things and I love
design.

27
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:40.010
<v Speaker2>It's work that is also involved of things
that I like to do hiking in the outdoors and

28
00:01:40.010 --> 00:01:42.440
<v Speaker2>mountain biking. We get to use our finished
product.

29
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:48.320
<v Speaker1>I guess it gives us a little bit of
excitement to get others out there, and

30
00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:53.420
<v Speaker1>connecting trails for mountain bikers who
just love to be out on their mountain bikes.

31
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:58.490
<v Speaker1>We really love the outdoors and everybody
that we work with loves the outdoors.

32
00:01:58.490 --> 00:02:03.050
<v Speaker2>And so there's automatically a connection
there when you're talking with the customers.

33
00:02:03.050 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker2>We both like the same thing.

34
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker1>And I want to know that we're passing on a
product that is safe and is going to last for

35
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker1>a long time.

36
00:02:10.910 --> 00:02:15.770
<v Speaker2>It's Greek for excellence, and that's what we
strive for in everything that we do.
