Carbon fibre is well known for its high strength and stiffness per Kg weight. A carbon fibre composite will be light weight and very strong. However, carbon fibre also has other remarkable material properties such as high resistance to fatigue, good durability, corrosion resistance. In addition carbon fibre composite can be moulded and cured in a mass production factory or in-situ locations .
Light weight components enable higher speeds and improved efficiency. The light weight but high strength is important for producing components which are SAFE and easy to manually handle.
Safety - Manhole covers need to be lifted for repair and maintenance as well as valve checking requirements. Using carbon fibre manhole covers will allow significantly improved safety when lifting and therefore enable regular checking. Contact Nygo for purpose made covers to improve safety at your facility.
Industrial - Large rolls deflect under there own weight as they are supported by axial bearings, Carbon fibre roll covers increase stiffness without adding weight. Lower weight rolls require less energy to drive.
Construction - Steel girders or Rolled Steel Joists (RSJ) are an essential component in steel frame buildings and civil construction. Retro-installation and repair is sometimes difficult and post construction "add-on" work is sometimes restricted due to weight limitations. The solution is Carbon Fibre Girders (CFG) for use in civil engineering.
CFG are also significantly stronger than steel per volume unit which allows the use of smaller structural support girders. This allows slimmer finer lines on buildings and is particularly of interest where steel girder size is restrictive, for example repairs and reinforcements.
CFG can also be utilized to provide the highest strength to weight for structural frame work of marine, military or transport component. The CFG design allows maximum mobility and rapid construction.
Safe Manual Handling - Carbon Fibre composites can be used to replace heavy metal products such as man hole covers which have to be manually moved. A steel 50Kg man hole cover is difficult to move and is high risk from a safety point of view. Using a Carbon Fibre Composite Cover (CFCC) is much safer for personnel and ensures that critical tasks such as concealed space work is done quicker. It also enables critical valve inspections of building fire protection systems is performed as required by commercial property insurers.
