Results
- Fully non-conductive barrier — zero exposed outward-facing metallic surfaces, including FRP shrouds over base plates, hinges and latch hardware
- Engineered to major-hurricane (Cat 4–5) wind loading; FEA-verified in SkyCiv Structural 3D
- Base-plate anchorage designed to ACI 318 (Hilti HIT-HY 200 adhesive anchors) — all failure modes passed at 89–98% utilization
- Eliminates galvanic corrosion and the induced-voltage path inherent to galvanized steel fencing
- Single-source delivery: concept through installation, all under one roof
Why AIMS Composites
Four decades of fiber-reinforced polymer engineering — est. 1982.
AIMS Composites helps owners, engineers, and contractors solve tough structural problems with FRP. We combine in-house engineering, domestic fabrication, and deep field experience to deliver fence systems, grating, handrail, platforms, stairs, ladders, and custom structures built for corrosive, high-voltage, and safety-critical environments where conventional steel falls short. Specify AIMS and you work with a single partner from estimate to engineered drawings to finished product.
