FRP Cable Tray

An FRP cable tray cover is a protective lid made from fiberglass reinforced plastic that shields power and control cables from dust, rainwater, chemicals, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. Unlike GI or MS covers, FRP does not rust, peel, or require frequent repainting in corrosive or coastal environments. FRP is also electrically non-conductive, improving safety around cable runs, and is much lighter than steel, making handling and installation easier. For chemical plants, ETPs, and coastal sites in Gujarat, FRP cable tray covers provide long-term protection with a lower lifecycle cost than metallic alternatives.

FRP cable tray covers are ideal for chemical and petrochemical plants, refineries, power plants, desalination facilities, and water and wastewater treatment plants. They are widely used on outdoor pipe racks, terraces, and yards where cables are exposed to rain, sunlight, falling debris, and animal damage. In corrosive atmospheres with acid fumes or saline mist, FRP covers protect cable armour and insulation from degradation. ETP and STP installations benefit where cables run near open tanks and channels with corrosive vapours. Industrial clusters across Gujarat with high humidity and chemical exposure gain maximum reliability benefits from FRP cable tray covers.

FRP cable tray covers are manufactured using high-quality fiberglass reinforced plastic with typical thicknesses ranging from 3–6 mm, depending on span and loading. They can be supplied as solid covers for maximum protection, or slotted and perforated designs to allow ventilation and heat dissipation for heavily loaded power cables. Standard widths match common cable tray sizes, with customised lengths for easy installation. UV-stabilised gelcoats, fire-retardant resin systems, and custom colours are available to meet site safety standards and improve visibility during inspection.

FRP cable tray covers prevent direct exposure of cables to rainwater, chemical splashes, and corrosive fumes, reducing moisture ingress and corrosion at cable armour, glands, and terminations. This helps maintain insulation resistance and lowers the risk of earth faults, short circuits, and nuisance tripping. The non-conductive FRP surface eliminates touch potential and improves electrical safety along cable corridors. Physical protection from falling tools, debris, and foot traffic further enhances cable life and system reliability in busy industrial environments.

FRP cable tray covers offer a long service life because they resist corrosion, UV degradation, and chemical attack far better than painted steel or galvanised covers. Minimal maintenance requirements eliminate repainting and frequent replacement, reducing operating expenditure. Their light weight lowers installation time and labour costs, especially on long outdoor runs or elevated racks. By extending cable life and reducing electrical failures, FRP covers deliver strong indirect savings through improved uptime and reduced emergency repair costs. For Gujarat and pan-India industrial projects, this makes FRP cable tray covers a cost-effective and reliable cable protection solution.
