OUR PRODUCTS 

Built for Decades,
Not Maintenance Cycles

Dockspan's reinforced plastic lumber (RPL) is engineered to resist the failure modes that take out timber and steel in marine service - rot, corrosion, UV embrittlement, and biological degradation.


Manufactured from recycled materials with structural reinforcement, RPL delivers comparable load performance to timber and steel with none of the inspection or replacement burden.


No coatings. No rot cycles. No corrosion allowance.

THE RANGE

Recycled HDPE composite fenders and piles, reinforced with fibreglass bars, for marine and waterfront infrastructure.

Engineered as a zero-corrosion, low-maintenance alternative to timber and steel with a design life in excess of 50 years.

We tailor the product to the application, with a range of section sizes & lengths coupled with a range of reinforcement options engineered to suit.
