Dura Composites holds proprietary IP and unique technical capability, including hidden Fixing CAM system, bespoke tooling, and CNC infrastructure for high-volume fixing, which can be retrospectively fitted to the steel car park frame.

They are the only supplier able to provide verified EPDs, full 25-year warranty, and 60/120-year design life backed by scientific evidence.

They have exclusive ability to recycle existing GRP and new GRP deck at end-of-life; no other supplier offers this.

They offer a full turnkey solution (design, manufacture, install, PC) with in-house witness testing and structural engineering expertise.

They have a proven track record: product system installed on previous projects; mock-up completed; stock available.

They offer us carbon savings versus alternatives align with sustainability objectives.
