Why Choose GFRP Cable Trays for Your Infrastructure Needs?

Construction January 27, 2025

Today in the wider industry, many engineers and project managers are starting to shift towards the GFRP Cable tray for robust cable management. This modern technology is proving to be more durable, long-lasting and reliable than anything else in the market. GFRP or  Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer cables are more corrosion-resistant, offering superior strength and durability while being light in weight. Therefore, the increasing popularity in the industry is a given. ARC Insulation has been manufacturing high-quality GFRP Cable Trays  since 2003. Thus, in this blog, we will help you to understand why you should choose GFRP cable trays for your infrastructural needs.

Higher Strength-Weight Ratio

Thanks to their manufacturing process and the advanced raw materials that go into it. GFRP cable trays are light in weight while offering greater strength than their metal counterparts. This lightweight nature also translates to lower labour costs, as it is easier to handle and install the cable trays. Despite their lightweight nature, GFRP cable trays possess remarkable strength. This enables them to support heavy cables while reducing strain on the supporting structure, making them ideal for the entire cable management system.

Higher Corrosion Resistance

Another huge advantage of this material is its high corrosion resistant properties. Unlike conventional metal trays, the GFRP cable trays have superior resistance to rust and corrosion from moisture, reactive chemicals, and extreme weather. This makes GFRP cable trays extremely favourable in marine structures, chemical plants, and places where severe weather conditions are common. Many engineers now are opting for such cable trays in wastewater treatment plants, chemical processing plants etc.

Electrical and Thermal Excellence

In any infrastructure project, maintaining electrical and thermal safety is of high priority. GFRP cable trays excel in this aspect, outperforming traditional metal alternatives. The material’s inherent non-conductive properties make it an excellent insulator, significantly reducing the risks of short circuits, electrocution, and fire incidents. On the other hand, it is equally great at handling heat thanks to its low thermal conductivity. Such properties make GFRP cable trays the number one choice if you want to ensure safety in your structure. 

Superior Durability and Longevity

As previously mentioned, GFRP cable trays are lightweight and are very strong. Couple this with their high corrosion resistant nature and you have yourself a highly durable product with a very long lifespan. Their superior construction offers enhanced resistance to UV radiation and weathering effects. Even under harsh environmental conditions, these cable trays maintain their structural integrity, significantly reducing the need for repairs or replacements. As a result of their durability and longevity, GFRP cable trays have become an industry favorite.

Environmentally Sustainable Solution

One of the best features of these GFRP cable trays is their lower need for replacement and repairs. Not only that, but in a world where sustainability is becoming a focus point, the usage of this material is making more sense as their production process has a much lower carbon footprint compared to conventional steel. Their lightweight nature also ends up reducing emissions during transportation making them an ideal material for sustainable infrastructure solutions.

Cost Effective

GFRP cable trays superior value by not only offering lower initial purchase costs compared to metal alternatives but also reduced long-term expenses through minimal maintenance requirements. This results in better efficiency and overall higher profitability from the projects.

Superior Customization and Versatility

At ARC Insulation, we pride ourselves on bringing the maximum applicability and customization capabilities in GFRP materials. We design the GFRP cable tray as ladders or perforations, depending on the requirements of our customers. Remember, such exceptional customization can only happen due to the high adaptability of this material. Furthermore, they can be adjusted on-sight which saves a lot of time while perfectly fitting to the required shape. Lastly, the material is also capable of moulding into intricate forms and sizes which adds on to its ease of use.

Conclusion

At this point, we are pretty sure that we have shown you all the incredible advantages you can get from GFRP cable trays. These cable trays are no less than a marvel in modern times, by offering incredible strength, durability and cost-effectiveness. They are the right cable trays for your infrastructural needs. They are highly resistant to water and chemical corrosions, making them ideal for marine structures, chemical processing plants and many more. Moreover, they are better at preventing accidents that occur from electrical and fire related incidents by being insulators of both. Furthermore, the versatility and adaptability of the GFRP cable trays as well as their cost effectiveness make them an industry favourite.
