Rendering Facility Uses Tuff Span FRP Building Components

Problem

Rendering processes produce continuous, wet conditions. In addition, building components at rendering operations are exposed to frequent wash downs with heavy- duty industrial cleaners. These conditions result in short service life for metal or wood framing, roof and wall panels. Maintenance and replacement costs are significant.

Application Summary

Roof and wall panels along with secondary framing members must have: 1) ability to withstand tough, operating conditions; 2) ability to handle building loads over its service life; 3) UV protection to provide long service life and retain satisfactory appearance; 4) ability to support foot traffic in some cases.
