Speaker1: FRP is fibre reinforced polymer.FRP
Speaker1: Traditionally, when people think about a bridge, they think of wood, steel, concrete
Speaker1: or aluminum. FRP is a composite and it's a little bit newer to the market.
Speaker2: The pieces are light enough that you can carry them in to the back country.
Speaker2: You don't need heavy machinery.
Speaker2: You don't need to rent a crane.
Speaker2: You don't need to make a road to get to the location of where you're setting your bridge.
Speaker2: And you don't need the experienced bridge contractors to put the bridge in place.
Speaker3: We send assembly plans along with these bridges.
Speaker3: Each part has a number, and you just kind of follow the plans and make sure all the
Speaker3: numbers match up.
Speaker2: It's basically an adult Lego set.
Speaker1: Our customers, they love them.
Speaker1: Once they build an FRP bridge, they don't really want to build timber anymore.
Speaker1: They think it goes together really easy.
Speaker1: It's just going to last a really long time.
Speaker1: You're not going to have to get back out to these remote settings to replace decking and
Speaker1: replace parts.
Speaker2: We're actually working with a customer right now.
Speaker2: They're buying seven bridges from us.
Speaker2: This is replacing a network of bridges they had on their property.
Speaker2: There were timber bridges.
Speaker2: They were going out and painting them every year just to prevent the decay and the rot
Speaker2: that was going on there.
Speaker2: FRP was a good solution for them because it's it's done now and they have a safe
Speaker2: bridge. I love making things and I love design.
Speaker2: It's work that is also involved of things that I like to do hiking in the outdoors and
Speaker2: mountain biking. We get to use our finished product.
Speaker1: I guess it gives us a little bit of excitement to get others out there, and
Speaker1: connecting trails for mountain bikers who just love to be out on their mountain bikes.
Speaker1: We really love the outdoors and everybody that we work with loves the outdoors.
Speaker2: And so there's automatically a connection there when you're talking with the customers.
Speaker2: We both like the same thing.
Speaker1: And I want to know that we're passing on a product that is safe and is going to last for
Speaker1: a long time.
Speaker2: It's Greek for excellence, and that's what we strive for in everything that we do.
