Wastewater & Water Treatment

For long-term durability, traditional materials just can’t compete with Bedford’s FRP profiles. Fiberglass reinforced plastic won’t rot, rust or corrode. It offers the flexibility of a wide range of shapes and sizes. And it delivers high strength without the weight, so facilities save on freight and installation. You can also visit our Featured Projects page to see Bedford materials used in unique ways for a variety of industries.

Wastewater & Water Treatment

Applications

Bedford offers many different FRP structural shapes, including sludge flights, trash racks, cell dividers, trough components, parallel plates, gate guides and odor containment covers. We also manufacture walkways, guardrails, ladders, and a weir and scum baffle product line. All products are available with NSF potable water certification.

Handrails, Platforms and Stairs: ReadySeries modular FRP structural products provide a durable, nonslip walking surface for corrosive environments like water treatment facilities.

For more information, watch Bedford’s Director of Business Development, Tom Wright, talk on the Pumps & Systems Podcast about uses of FRP in the water and wastewater industry.
