๐Ÿช› SS BRIDGE BUILD // Construction of a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bridge is well underway at the Wagners Composite Fibre Technologies (CFT) manufacturing facility in Wellcamp, Queensland.

Delivered for Clarence Valley Council, the 18m x 2.5m FRP truss bridge will replace an ageing structure that has reached the end of its serviceable life along the Gwydir Highway in Waterview Heights, New South Wales.

Part of the Wagners CFT Signature Series, the bridge combines proven engineering with a pre-engineered, modular design to simplify procurement, reduce lead times and accelerate project delivery. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Designed for long-term performance, the Signature Series combines proven engineering with the benefits of FRP, including:
โญ Pre-engineered for faster delivery
โญ Lightweight FRP construction
โญ 100-year design life
โญ Will not rot, rust or corrode
โญ Low maintenance over its service life

Built on decades of bridge design expertise, the Signature Series provides councils with a smarter, longer-lasting bridge solution. โœ…

๐Ÿ“ PROJECT UPDATE // Construction is underway on Stage 1 of the Marina Pier Boardwalk refurbishment at Patawalonga Lock, delivering a new boardwalk for the City of Holdfast Bay.

Designed by Magryn & Associates, delivered by lead contractor McMahon Services and installed by Goolwa Jetty Builders, the project is replacing a significantly deteriorated timber structure where the decking had begun to rot after years of exposure to the harsh marine environment. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Wagners Composite Fibre Technologies (CFT) manufactured and supplied the Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structural profiles, providing a durable, low-maintenance solution designed to withstand demanding coastal conditions while extending the life of this important community asset. โœ…

Why Wagners FRP?
๐Ÿ”น Corrosion resistant
๐Ÿ”น Lightweight for efficient installation
๐Ÿ”น Low maintenance
๐Ÿ”นExpected 100-year design life

This refurbishment is the first of three planned stages, with the upgraded Marina Pier Boardwalk set to provide a resilient and reliable pathway for the community well into the future.

A 746-metre overhead line span is no ordinary engineering achievement.

Designed by Vector Limited for Kawau Island in New Zealand, this project demonstrates what can be achieved when innovative engineering is combined with validated Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) utility infrastructure.

Using a 15-metre Wagners FRP utility pole, a 2.4-metre FRP crossarm and a three-stay wire configuration, the project is believed to represent the world's longest overhead line span achieved using an FRP utility pole.

In this video, our Global Utilities Lead, James Lorrimer explores the engineering behind the project, the challenges of long-span overhead line design and the importance of rigorous product testing in supporting confident engineering decisions.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch the video to discover how proven composite infrastructure is helping utilities deliver solutions for increasingly demanding network applications.

๐Ÿชบ A BETTER PLACE TO NEST // For eastern ospreys, finding a safe place to nest isn't always easy.

Across parts of South Australia, the loss of suitable nesting habitat, increasing coastal development and disturbance from predators have all contributed to declining breeding success. With few elevated nesting locations close to reliable fishing grounds, many birds have been left without safe places to raise their young. ๐Ÿชถ

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) osprey nesting platforms provide a durable, purpose-built solution that recreates the elevated nesting sites these birds naturally seek. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and designed for harsh coastal environments, the platforms can be installed in locations that would be difficult or impossible to access with traditional materials. โœ…

๐Ÿ“น - A Wagners FRP osprey nesting platform being installed in South Australia, supporting an initiative that is helping give eastern ospreys a better chance to breed successfully while protecting these remarkable birds for future generations.

It's a reminder that the right engineering solutions can make a meaningful difference, not just for infrastructure, but for the environment too!

โšกFIELD TO FACTORY // Recently, one of Energy Queensland's Ergon Energy Network line crews visited the Wagners Composite Fibre Technologies (CFT) manufacturing facility for a behind-the-scenes look at how our Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) poles and crossarms are designed, manufactured and tested.

The visit gave the crew the opportunity to experience the manufacturing process firsthand, providing valuable insight into the engineering, quality control and rigorous testing behind the FRP infrastructure they install across Queensland's electricity network. โœ…

During their visit, the crew also received an exclusive first look at our latest video, 'Energy Queensland Discusses FRP Utility Poles | Romaโ€“Injune Line Project' which features them sharing their experiences working with FRP utility poles.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch the full video here: https://ow.ly/OMeO50Zn9RQ

The day also included a series of live R&D demonstrations, including cantilever testing, three-point bend testing, fire testing and a vehicle lift demonstration, highlighting the strength, durability and performance of FRP in action. ๐Ÿงช

Bringing manufacturers and field crews together helps strengthen the connection between the factory and the field, encouraging knowledge sharing, valuable feedback and collaboration that ultimately supports safer, more efficient network construction.

A big thank you to the Ergon Energy team for taking the time to visit. We look forward to continuing to work together as more FRP infrastructure is installed across Queensland. ๐Ÿค
