FRP EngineeringSupport
Machs FRP engineering support helps buyers turn an application into a manufacturable fiberglass specification: section and material selection, CAD drawings and prototypes before production. It is most useful when the drawing is incomplete or the load case is still being defined. Online calculators on this site give a first estimate before you send an enquiry.
What Engineering Support Covers
Machs engineers support a project from first enquiry to approved sample.
Checking dimensions, application and performance needs, and filling gaps in the brief.
Shape, reinforcement and resin matched to loads and exposure.
Drawings for profiles, dies and fabricated parts.
Sample lengths and parts for fit and approval before full production.
Visual acceptance criteria agreed before production.

Send Your ResultsInformation That Speeds Up Engineering Review
Engineering review moves fastest when the enquiry states:
- Loads and Spans
- Support and Connection Conditions
- Operating EnvironmentChemicals, temperature, UV exposure
- Fire or Code Requirements
- Standard to FollowASTM, ISO, EN, GB or a customer specification
- Quantities
A sketch with these notes is often enough to start.

In-house lab testingTest Data Behind the Design
Material choices are backed by Machs’ in-house testing for flexural strength, tensile strength, impact, salt-spray and UV weathering.
- Flexural Strength
- Tensile Strength
- Impact
- Salt-Spray
- UV Weathering
Third-party test reports can be supplied for the grade and product selected. View Certificates →
Where Design Responsibility Sits
Machs supports product selection, drawings and manufacturing details. For structures such as platforms and walkways, the project’s engineer of record keeps responsibility for the overall structural design and approval.
Supports
- Product Selection
- Drawings
- Manufacturing Details
Product, drawing and manufacturing input for your project.
Unless a different scope is agreed in writingKeeps
- Overall Structural Design
- Approval
Responsibility for the overall structural design and its approval.
Stating this early keeps drawings, calculations and approvals clear for everyone.

Questions About Engineering Support
Sketches, calculations and fees for Machs engineering support.
Yes. A sketch with loads, spans and environment is enough for a first review.
Ask Machs which calculations and documents can be provided for your project; design approval remains with the project’s engineer of record.
No. Design assistance is free with your quotation.
