GRP planks

GRP planks for bridge construction – durable, lightweight, and certified

Modern infrastructure projects place high demands on material quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness. CTS's pultruded GRP planks meet all these requirements – as durable, lightweight, and DIBt-certified bridge planks, they offer a future-proof alternative to wood or steel.

Flexibility and efficiency in installation and design

  • Cut to size according to customer requirements
  • Easy to work with using standard tools directly on the construction site
  • Low weight saves installation time and reduces transport costs
  • Design freedom thanks to various color options (e.g., anthracite, sand)

Advantages of our GRP planks:

  • Corrosion-free & slip-resistant (R13 surface)
  • Lightweight & highly resilient – ideal for installation and use
  • Low-maintenance & durable – minimal maintenance costs
  • For pedestrian bridges, cycle path bridges, footbridges, and maintenance paths
GFK Planke HC280

GRP plank HC 280 – Germany's first DIBt-certified bridge plank

The HC280 is the first GRP plank in Germany to be approved by the building authorities (DIBt Z-10.9-499).
It was specially developed for the renovation of wooden footpath and cycle path bridges.

Thanks to its sophisticated tongue-and-groove principle, it creates a closed, slip-resistant walking surface that also acts as a protective roof for the moisture-sensitive wooden structure. Rainwater is reliably drained away, the substructure remains dry, and the service life of the wooden structure is significantly extended.

Further advantages:

  • Low weight for easy transport and installation
  • High dimensional stability and load-bearing capacity even with intensive use
  • Invisible fastening for a visually clean surface
