Advanced Composite Solutions for Marine Infrastructure

Infrastructure embedded in the seabed and exposed to seawater faces significant challenges, including accelerated structural degradation, operational inefficiencies, high maintenance costs, and public safety risks.Michael Kemp will explore the synergy of materials science, process optimisation, and precision engineering in manufacturing and installing marine infrastructure. He will discuss the development of Wagners CFT Trident Marine Piles, engineered using pultruded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) to withstand biofouling, hydrodynamic forces and UV degradation.
