Injury rates of children on the traditional backyard trampoline highlighted a serious design flaw in the steel spring component. In collaboration with our client, we developed high performance rods to be used in a revolutionary trampoline.

Stainless steel is expensive and steel corrodes quickly in marine environments. Our client required a GFRP (glass-fiber reinforced polymer) rod system for their floating docks, to cope in a marina environment where there is a continual movement.

We developed a D-shaped rod for snowmobiles as its main structural support. Extremely high flex and fatigue resistance were designed into the rods to perform in rocky and extreme terrain.
