McArdent Ardent FRP Modular Handrail and Safety Systems provide a safe, corrosion-free and virtually maintenance-free alternative to steel and aluminium handrail in industrial facilities. Designed for platforms, mezzanines, walkways and access areas in corrosive, wet and hazardous environments — where steel corrodes, weakens and demands constant maintenance.The modular FRP handrail system uses pre-engineered components for rapid on-site assembly — no welding, no hot work permit, no heavy lifting equipment required. Fully compliant with Australian workplace safety standards and WHS regulations.Key FeaturesFully modular — quick assembly, no welding or hot work required100% corrosion-free for coastal, chemical, offshore and marine environmentsNon-conductive — approved for electrical substations and hazardous classified zonesNon-sparking — suitable for explosive atmosphere (Ex) areasGritted surface options for anti-slip safety in wet environmentsHigh-visibility yellow or custom colours availableCompliant with Australian safety standards and AS/NZS requirementsApplicationsIndustrial platforms and mezzanine floorsWater and wastewater treatment plant walkwaysOil and gas processing facility accessElectrical substations and switchyardsMining and quarry access systemsCoastal and marine structuresCustom handrail layouts, post styles, infill types, heights and colours available.

McArdent Ardent FRP Cable Ladders and Cable Trays provide a non-conductive, corrosion-free cable management solution for industrial power generation, offshore and process facilities. Where steel cable trays corrode, require constant repainting and pose electrical risk, FRP delivers a safer, longer-life and lower-maintenance alternative.FRP cable management systems are non-conductive by nature — eliminating the need for insulation and grounding that steel systems require — and non-sparking for safe installation in classified hazardous areas.Key FeaturesNon-conductive — inherently safe for electrical cable management environmentsCorrosion-free — no painting, no coating, no maintenance requiredUp to 70% lighter than steel — faster installation and lower labour costsNon-sparking — suitable for hazardous and explosive atmosphere zonesUV resistant — suitable for outdoor and rooftop cable routesAvailable in cable ladder and solid/perforated cable tray configurationsApplicationsPower generation and electrical substation cable routesOil and gas processing and offshore platform cable managementWater and wastewater treatment facility cablingIndustrial manufacturing plant electrical infrastructureMining and processing plant cable routesMarine and coastal facility installationsCustom widths, rung spacing, depths, heights and complete cable management layouts available. McArdent tailors FRP cable management systems to your project — contact our team for custom specifications, load calculations and project supply.

McArdent's Ardent Earthbar FRP Rebar is a high-strength, non-corrosive Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcing bar engineered for concrete structures in harsh, corrosive or chemically aggressive environments. Non-magnetic, non-conductive and completely corrosion-free — Earthbar eliminates the concrete spalling, cracking and structural failure caused by rusting steel rebar.As steel rebar corrodes inside concrete structures, the expanding rust shatters the surrounding concrete — a costly and dangerous failure mode in marine, coastal, chemical and wastewater environments. Earthbar FRP rebar prevents this failure mode entirely, delivering dramatically longer structural service life and lower lifecycle maintenance costs.Key Advantages Over Steel RebarZero Corrosion — Eliminates concrete spalling and cracking caused by steel rust expansionNon-Magnetic — Essential for MRI facilities, electrical substations and EMI-sensitive structuresNon-Conductive — Safe for concrete in electrical infrastructure applicationsLighter Than Steel — Reduces structural dead load and simplifies on-site handlingHigh Tensile Strength — Engineered for structural concrete reinforcement requirementsHelical Surface Wrap — Excellent mechanical bond with concreteApplicationsCoastal and marine concrete structuresWastewater treatment plant structures and tanksChemical plant concrete floors and containmentBridge decks in corrosive or de-icing salt environmentsMRI room and hospital concrete structuresElectrical substation concrete foundationsAvailable in 10mm, 12mm, 16mm and 20mm diameters. Custom lengths and project supply packages available. Contact the McArdent team for structural specifications, engineering data and project pricing.
