DEFI Fiberglass Launches Custom FRP Solutions for Data Center Generator Platforms

HOUSTON - April 10, 2025 - PRLog -- DEFI Fiberglass is proud to announce the release of its new line of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) products, specifically designed for data center generator platforms. Traditionally built with steel, generator platforms are critical components in maintaining uptime and ensuring access for routine maintenance in data centers. DEFI's FRP platforms now offer a superior alternative—delivering greater performance, easier installation, and lower lifecycle costs.

Why FRP is the Smart Choice for Data Center Generator Platforms
DEFI's FRP platforms offer several distinct advantages over traditional steel structures:

• Cost-Effective Installation: While steel may appear cheaper upfront, the hidden costs of heavy equipment, specialized labor, and longer install times quickly add up. FRP's lightweight construction cuts installation time and expenses significantly.
• Lightweight & Easy to Work With: FRP weighs up to 75% less than steel. That means fewer crew members, no need for heavy machinery, and no requirement for additional safety personnel during installation.
• Virtually Maintenance-Free: FRP resists corrosion, UV exposure, warping, and cracking—ensuring it lasts as long as the generators themselves. Steel, on the other hand, needs protective coatings and routine upkeep to prevent rust and structural degradation.
• Enhanced Worker Safety: Unlike steel, which must be grounded due to its electrical conductivity, FRP is naturally non-conductive. This reduces electrical hazard risks and simplifies compliance during platform installations around sensitive backup power systems.

Steel vs. FRP: The Verdict
When it comes to supporting the generators that support your data center, the material you choose matters. Steel may have history on its side, but FRP has the performance. DEFI Fiberglass is committed to helping data centers upgrade with customizable FRP solutions that check all the boxes—efficiency, safety, durability, and long-term value.
