COMPOSITE SOLUTION

1. USE AND CHARACTERISTICS The FRP fences are built with fiberglass and polyester resin gratings and profiles, they assure several advantages compared to the normal metal ones: a. High resistance to chemical and atmospheric aggressions b. High mechanical/weight ratio peso c. Long-lasting d. Lightness e. Dimensional stability f. High dielectric properties g. No maintenance h. radio transparency i. Easy to install Fences are preassembled and supplied with all the necessary fixing accessories.

2. EMPLOYMENT FIELDS MM’s FENCES can be installed in any type of plant, but they are mainly used in areas where it’s necessary to have corrosion resistance and electric insulation. The FRP fences are not only installed outdoors, they are also used to surround under-tension equipments in industrial plants or power stations. The industries and sectors that use MM’s FENCES are: • Chemical industries Galvanic plants Mineral industries Textile industries Food industries Electric stations Electric distribution cabins Water treatment plants Marine field

3. MATERIALS MM fences are built with FRP pultruded profiles and molded FRP gratings as described in tables 4.2 and 4.3. The distance between the posts changes accordingly to the used grating type. The posts can be embedded directly into concrete or fixed with Stainless Steel base-plates. High wind loads or particular customer needs can be arranged and designed by the technical department. 3.1 PROFILES PROFILE standard post WEIGHT (Kg/m²) 3.3 BASE PLATES BASE PLATES Post base plate PR8525 Post corner base plate PR8525 Stainless steel M6 x 55 screws M6 self-locking bolts Profile caps

5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DESIGN ENGINEER The posts can be either embedded into concrete for a 30 cm depth or fixed to Stainless Steel base-plates (Figg. 1-2). The top is closed by a plastic cap (Fig. 3). Grating is fastened to the post with Stainless Steel AISI 314 screws and self-locking nuts or inviolable nuts (Fig. 4). Fig. 2 horizontal fixing with S.S. base-plates
