Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Decking: Strength and Stability Where It Counts
When it comes to walkways, platforms and access routes in public infrastructure and industrial environments, the flooring system matters. It must be strong, stable and safe — especially under high foot traffic and changing weather conditions. That’s where Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) grating comes in. At Treadwell Group, our FRP
Building Better Recreational Spaces: How Collaboration Shapes Australian Communities
Public recreational spaces—whether it’s a boardwalk by the beach, a community bridge, or a walkway—play an essential role in shaping vibrant, liveable communities across Australia. These projects don’t happen overnight. Behind every new park, upgrade, or public structure is a conversation between local councils and private industry partners, working together
How FRP Jetties are Improving Coastal Infrastructures
Coastal environments are some of the most beautiful—yet demanding—places for infrastructure. Here, traditional materials like steel are constantly tested by the relentless forces of nature: saltwater corrosion, pounding waves, and the sun’s harsh UV rays. Over time, even the sturdiest steel structures can surrender to rust and fatigue, leading to
Uninterrupted Trails with FRP Boardwalks
Public recreation parks are treasured spaces, enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Whether it’s a family outing, a morning jog, or a nature walk, these parks need infrastructure that can handle heavy foot traffic year-round without constant repairs or closures.

How FRP Performs in New Zealand’s Harsh UV Index
New Zealand’s naturally high UV index presents undeniable challenges for the longevity and performance of construction materials. Traditional materials like steel and timber, while widely used, often fall short in these harsh conditions. The detrimental effects of UV radiation, including structural degradation, and increased maintenance requirements, cannot be ignored. The Impact
