SUPERLOC™ ATTRIBUTES
PULTRUDED PROFILES ARE USED EXTENSIVELY AROUND THE WORLD PROVIDING THE LOWEST COST SOLUTIONS AS PART OF ENGINEERED SYSTEMS OR STAND ALONE PRODUCTS.
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
• Light Weight
• High Strength
• Low Maintenance
• Ease of Fabrication
• Will not rot, corrode or spall
• Superior Dielectric Strength
• Lowest Installed Cost
• “Green” Low Embodied Energy

Pultruded profiles are cut to length during the continuous manufacturing process.
4.
Resin and glass fiber reinforcements are combined and formed into the shape of the die on a continuous process.
1.
The resin is initiated by the thermal decomposition process. The initiator is heated until a chemical bond dissociation produces two radicals. The chain continues to build until the monomer is used resulting in a cured resin.
2.
The profiles are pulled through a die.

SUPERLOC™ PRODUCTION
High Strength Fiberglass is pulled into the heated die.
The fibers are injected with a high strength thermoset resin, under high pressure, once in the die.
Finished product is pulled through the die and into the cut-to-length saw where it is cut and prepared for shipment to the job site.

TEST THE DESIGN IN ONE OF OUR IN-HOUSE TEST FACILITIESFULL SECTION AND COUPON LEVEL TESTING
RESIN OPTIONS Series 1500/1525
POLYESTER (PE) RESINS – are manufactured for corrosion related applications. Polyester resins display excellent structural properties and are resistant to acids, salts, and many dilute chemicals at moderate temperatures.
The standard 1525 series contains fire retardant additives that permit the profiles to pass UL94 with a (V0) rating and ASTM E84 with a class A rating.
14
RESIN OPTIONS Series 1625
VINYL ESTER (VE) RESINS – are based on bisphenol,an epoxy resin. VE resins provide resistance to a wide range of acids, alkalis, bleaches and solvents for use in many chemical environments. They also offer excellent toughness and fatigue resistance.
The standard 1625 series contains fire retardant additives that permit the profiles to pass UL94 with a (V0) rating and ASTM E84 with a Class A rating.
15
SUPERLOC™ DATA SHEETS
• ASTM 7290 Derived.
• Can be Used for ASD or LRFD Design Basis.
• Supports LRFD Pre-Standard.
• Moment Capacity Derived via the LRFD Manual of Pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymer Structures.
16
THE SUPERLOC™ SHEETPILE DATA SHEETS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BASED ON ASTM D7290 REQUIREMENTS
Why ASTM D7290?
The characteristic value is a statistically-based material property representing the 80% lower confidence bound on the 5th-percentile value of a specified population.
It is an Internationally Recognized Standard for Evaluating Material Property Characteristic Values for Polymeric Composites for Civil Engineering Structural Applications.
17
ASTM D7290-06
• Companies With Good Process Control And Quality Standards Are Rewarded In That The Published Characteristic Design Values Are Higher.
• Places All Suppliers On An Even Playing Ground. • Enhances The Confidence Level On The Product
Performance. • All Design Data Is Reported Based An Internationally
Recognized Standard.
18
Load & Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) of Pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Structures.
Developed by the Pultrusion Industry Council and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
A design standard exists for the Pultrusion Industry. Our industry joins ranks with steel, wood, concrete and aluminum as a standard material of construction.
19
THE SUPERLOC™ DATA SHEETS AND LOAD & RESISTANCE FACTOR DESIGN (LRFD)THE CHARACTERISTIC VALUES WERE DEVELOPED FOR AN LRFD DESIGN APPROACH WHERE:
The characteristic/reference strength values shall be adjusted per table 2.4-1 to account for moisture. – 0.85/.80 for strength for vinyl ester/polyester– .95/.90 for elastic modulus for vinyl
ester/polyester.λ – Time effect factor 0.4 for permanent load.φ – Resistance factor for local buckling controlled design – 0.80 or .65.
20
THE SUPERLOC™ DATA SHEETS AND ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN (ASD)
THE CHARACTERISTIC VALUES CAN BE USED FOR ASD OR LRFD DESIGN APPROACHES.
Typical industry ASD safety factors include:- 2.0 to 2.5 in flexure- 2.0 to 3.0 in shear - 2.5 to 3.0 for connections
21
SUPERLOC™ SHEETPILE MOMENT CAPACITY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BASED ON THE LRFD PRE-STANDARD AND VERIFIED WITH FULL SECTION TESTING.
Testing Conducted at Penn State UniversityNote: Critical Load capacity is controlled by Local buckling of the compression flange.
22
1580 FULL SECTION TESTING
Note: Critical Load capacity is controlled by Local buckling of the compression flange. The test results correlated well to the LRFD results.
23
IMPORTANT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE

HILL & SMITH REVIEW OF 2012
INFRASTRUCTURE PRODUCTSThe division is focused on supplying engineered products to the roads and utilities markets in geographies where there is a prospect of sustained long term investment in infrastructure.
In 2012 the division accounted for 73% (2011: 68%) of the Group’s revenue and 43% (2011: 48%) of the Group’s underlying operating profit.
UTILITIESThe requirements for new power generation in emerging economies and replacement of aging infrastructure in developed countries provide an excellent opportunity for the Group’s utilities businesses.
Revenues increased to £205.7m (2011: £167.0m), which after adjusting for acquisitions and currency impacts, reflects 13% organic growth of £22.5m. Underlying operating profit increased by £1.9m to £13.4m (2011: £11.5m) with acquisitions contributing £0.9m of the growth.
The organic growth was driven mainly by our US based businesses, V&S Utilities and Creative Pultrusions, which benefitted from a more active USA utilities market.
delivering a number of large projects in the transmission, rail and cooling tower markets. Over the year, we further developed high value products for niche markets.
These products are lightweight, corrosion resistant and offer improved installation times, thereby substituting traditional materials. There is a growing demand for composite products and this was evident in the supply of 85 railway platform extensions for the upgrade to the Wessex Line in the UK.
