Why Cold Weather Composites?
• Light Weight
Tundra Roads-Environmental Impact
Fast Installation- Less Impact
2. Poor Thermal Conductivity
Efficient Thermal Barrier
Safety – Poor Ice/Snow Formation
3. Dimensional Stability
4. High Strength – Improved Impact – Cold
5. Low Maintenance – Cost/Environmental Impact

Accessories were mountedto the Durashield panelswith “Tek” Screws.
The panels were partiallyassembled in Fairbanks,then transported by truck(over the tundra road) to theslope.
North Star Island
Durashield’s unique tongueand groove design and R22insulation provide a warm,wind proof environment.

Fiberglass Mat
Steel & Wood Mat
Compared to Steel, the Fiberglass Mat….
• Has a lower elevation- easier rig move
• The 8 ft x 30 ft panels are easier to move-less time
• Lasts 5 times longer (so far)

The success of these FRP Road Mats in extremetemperature and loading conditions further
illustrates the viability of Strongwell Composites incold environment applications.
