The advantage of working with GRP Laminates is that you can use whichever aspects of our award-winning service you need to procure your fibreglass or composite mouldings.
From plug to mould to production, our services include project management. Our mission is ‘over and beyond expectation’, and that’s the level of expert service you will get.
Design
IF YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA, we can help turn it into reality. From technical drawings, to advice on the specification of the best composite system, process, materials and production methods. We work with a number of specialists in marine and industrial design, and welcome early involvement in the concept phase of your project.
Development
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE DETAILED DRAWINGS, our moulding specialists will check for feasibility against your technical and end-use specifications. We can produce test mouldings from existing moulds, or construct new plugs and moulds for new products. Whether you are developing a prototype or going into full production, GRP Laminates will seek ways to add value and take out cost.
Production
FROM ONE-OFF, BESPOKE and custom-made mouldings to high volume, high quality components, we have the capacity and the experience to deliver. GRP Laminates operates recognised lean manufacturing processes and quality assurance systems.
Subcontracting
GRP LAMINATES ARE WELL RESPECTED SUBCONTRACTORS to other manufacturers and service companies in the marine, leisure, construction industries. Our teams can be made available on your premises or site, for in-situ moulding, repair and refit (see below), insurance work and installation of bespoke composite components.
Post-Production
GRP LAMINATES CAN ACCOMMODATE all metal and steel ‘kitting’ of mouldings where required, to support our customers’ production processes. Services include paint spraying and the application of other finishes. Repair and maintenance work can also be undertaken (see below).
Repair and Refit
Island Marine International is a Dover-based ship services company, specialising in interior refits and upgrades for cruise ship and ferry operators. As the main contractor on a project to refit two vessels for commuter services on the river Thames, Island Marine International called on GRP Laminates to repair hull damage.
It took our specialist two-man team a week working in situ in London, to complete the repairs using an epoxy resin system. GRP Laminates liaised closely with the MCA inspector and provided a full, ongoing written report for the work at every stage to ensure compliance.
GRP Laminates kept the project on time, on track and met the exacting standards of safety and quality that such major refurbishment contracts require.
