At FRP Mocoat Fiberglass Ltd, we take pride in offering innovative, durable, and customizable solutions that meet the evolving needs of various industries. Since the 1970s, we have pioneered the development of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) buildings, originally designed to cover water injection and disposal wells for conventional oilfields in Western Canada.
Oil and gas producers were in search of an economical and long-lasting product that could resist internal and external corrosion while standing up to the severe winters of Canada. Utilizing our 8-foot tank molds, we were able to create shelters that quickly gained widespread acceptance throughout the industry.
Once nearly every major oil and gas producer adopted our FRP shelters as the standard, we expanded our capabilities by introducing custom molds. These enabled us to add features like one-piece molded construction, double-walled designs with encapsulated urethane foam, and a slight taper for nesting multiple shelters on a single truck, improving efficiency in transportation.
From these early successes, our range of FRP building applications has expanded significantly. Today, our shelters and modular buildings are extensively used not only in oilfields but also across a variety of industries, offering unmatched durability, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. Below, we explore the many applications of FRP buildings and how they provide reliable solutions for different industrial needs.
While our FRP buildings initially gained recognition in the oil and gas sector, they have since been adopted in a wide range of other industries. Our buildings’ durability, corrosion resistance, and adaptability make them the preferred choice for numerous industrial applications.
In the telecommunications industry, our FRP buildings provide essential protection for sensitive equipment like transmission towers and electrical systems. They safeguard these systems from environmental damage, vandalism, and corrosion, ensuring smooth operations.
FRP buildings are a reliable solution for housing electrical components, transformers, and backup generators in utility and power generation facilities. Their ability to withstand extreme weather ensures that critical infrastructure remains protected and operational.
We provide FRP shelters for transportation and railway operations, where they are used to house signaling equipment. The lightweight and durable nature of FRP allows for installation in difficult-to-access locations without the need for heavy machinery.
Our FRP buildings are utilized in agriculture to store equipment, and fertilizers, and even provide shelter for livestock. Their ability to resist corrosion and withstand various weather conditions makes them an excellent fit for agricultural operations.
In mining, our FRP buildings are used to house control rooms and equipment in remote locations. Their portability and resilience make them ideal for installation in rugged environments, ensuring protection for critical infrastructure.
Our FRP shelters are also employed in environmental monitoring applications. They protect sensitive instruments used for measuring air quality, water levels, and soil conditions, ensuring accurate data collection while withstanding the elements.
With over 40 years of experience, FRP/Mocoat has earned a reputation for providing high-quality, durable, and customizable FRP buildings that stand the test of time. Our commitment to innovation and excellence ensures that our customers receive the best solutions tailored to their specific needs. Whether you’re in the oil and gas industry, telecommunications, utilities, or any other sector, we have the expertise and products to meet your requirements.
