目前安装在英国 Cornwall 处一座悬索桥上的 GRP 桥面板使其结构重量降到了7t 并可在1天繁忙主干道结束期间用一汽吊将其吊装到位。此 Halgavor 桥跨长47m,宽3.5m 在一复式车行道上通行骑自行车人、步行人和马。它由 Flint & Neill 公司与建筑师 WilkinsonEyre 相结合的工程师设计和 Balfour Beatty 施工。Vosper Thornycroft 制造 GRP 桥面板,这是由3部分构成的夹层结构。比起传统的造桥材料来选择 GRP 是因为避免安装和将来油漆 The GRP bridge deck, currently installed on a suspension bridge in Cornwall, England, has reduced its structural weight to 7 tons and hoisted it in place with a one-piece steam turbine at the end of a busy day on a major road. The Halgavor Bridge, spanning 47m in length and 3.5m in width, passes cyclists on a compound roadway, walking people and horses. It was designed by engineer Flint & Neill and combined with architect WilkinsonEyre and constructed by Balfour Beatty. Vosper Thornycroft manufactures a GRP bridge deck, which is a three-part sandwich structure. GRP is chosen over conventional bridge building materials because it avoids installation and paint in the future
