Enhancing Infrastructure with Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) Permanent Formwork

Permadec is proud to contribute to the Breakfast Creek Green Bridge project, a key initiative in Brisbane designed to improve pedestrian and cyclist connectivity. This sustainable infrastructure project enhances access between Brisbane’s inner suburbs while promoting active transport solutions.

Why GRP Permanent Formwork?

For this project, Permadec’s GRP permanent formwork was chosen for its lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant properties. Compared to traditional steel or timber formwork, GRP provides greater efficiency, reduced installation time, and long-term structural integrity—making it the ideal solution for bridge construction in marine and urban environments.

Project Benefits & Installation Efficiency

  • Lightweight Advantage: Permadec’s GRP panels are significantly lighter than conventional formwork, reducing transportation and installation costs.
  • Faster Installation: The prefabricated panels streamlined the installation process, minimising on-site labour and disruption.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel formwork, GRP does not rust, making it perfect for bridges exposed to moisture and harsh weather conditions.
  • Sustainability: By using GRP, the project supports environmentally friendly construction practices with long-lasting materials that reduce maintenance needs.

About the Breakfast Creek Green Bridge
