GRP solutions

Early on IWC developed in-house expertise to undertake custom GRP fabrications related to the cooling tower industry e.g. fan rings, slurry cooling towers, distribution launders and troughs, inlet louvers, etc. IWC also undertakes on-site GRP piping repair work as well as corrosion resistant linings.

We have expanded our existing glass-reinforced plastics manufacturing capability to include the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of storage tanks, process vessels, linings, ducting, scrubbing plants, piping and fittings as well as increase our capacity to do custom fabrications.
