At Hengshui Hongwo Technology Co., Ltd., we’ve revolutionized load-bearing solutions with our structural fiberglass beams—engineered to outperform steel and wood in the toughest conditions. Also known as fiberglass support beams, these high-performance components eliminate rust, rot, and fatigue while delivering unmatched strength-to-weight ratios.
Where Traditional Materials Fail, Ours Excel
Our structural fiberglass beams are transforming industries where corrosion and weight are critical concerns:
✔ Marine & offshore – No more rusted steel supports in saltwater environments
✔ Chemical plants – Impervious to acid spills and corrosive fumes
✔ Bridge rehabilitation – Lightweight alternative for aging infrastructure
✔ Green buildings – Sustainable solution with 50+ year service life
“After replacing 200+ steel beams with our fiberglass support beams, a coastal refinery reported zero corrosion after 5 years—something their maintenance team called ‘impossible’ with metal.”
Engineered Specifications
Material: Pultruded fiberglass with vinyl ester resin matrix
- Load capacity: 3x stronger than aluminum at equivalent weight
- Standard sizes: 6″ to 24″ depths (custom profiles up to 40′ lengths)
- Thermal performance: -60°F to +300°F operational range
- Fire rating: ASTM E84 Class A (flame spread <25)
Why Engineers Specify Our Beams
- Zero maintenance – Unlike steel, no protective coatings needed
- Non-conductive – Perfect for electrical substations
- Impact resistant – Withstands 4x the force of comparable steel I-beams
- Installation advantage – 60% lighter than steel = faster erection
Fun fact: Our beams are so precisely manufactured that they’ve been used as laser-alignment guides in particle accelerators.
Backed by Science, Trusted by Industry
- Third-party verified: 100,000+ hour salt spray testing with zero degradation
- Code compliance: Meets ASCE 7-22 seismic requirements
- Patented technology: Cross-linked fiber orientation for directional strength
We’re the only manufacturer providing 10-year material warranties on all structural members.
Installation Simplified
Step 1: Use our pre-drilled connection plates (galvanized hardware included)
Step 2: Field cuts require only standard carbide blade tools
Step 3: Seal joints with our proprietary adhesive for full composite action
Pro tip: For vibration-sensitive applications, our dampening mounts reduce noise transfer by 85% vs. steel.
Maintenance? What Maintenance?
- Decade-long intervals: Visual inspection is typically sufficient
- Cleaning: High-pressure washable (up to 3,000 PSI)
- Damage repair: Field-serviceable with our structural epoxy kits
Critical Installation Notes
⚠ Thermal expansion: Allow 1/4″ gap per 20′ for temperature swings >100°F
⚠ Drilling: Always use carbide-tipped bits to prevent delamination
⚠ Chemical exposure: Compatible with all pH levels 1-14
Lessons from 1,000+ Installations
- Biggest surprise: Contractors report 30% faster project completion
- Cost saver: One wastewater plant saved $2M by eliminating cathodic protection
