Lightweight, durable materials for modern infrastructure
Infrastructure is more than just concrete and steel. It’s about building systems that last, withstand the elements, and minimize maintenance. Diab’s core materials bring new possibilities to the sector by enabling lightweight composite constructions that are strong, long-lasting, and corrosion-resistant.
Bridges are a prime example. Traditional materials are heavy, susceptible to rust, and require constant upkeep. Diab’s sandwich core materials help engineers design bridge decks, beams, and panels that are not only much lighter, reducing the need for heavy support structures, but also resistant to moisture, chemicals, and weathering. This translates into faster installation, longer life cycles, and significantly lower total cost of ownership.
But the potential doesn’t stop at bridges. Our core materials can be used in noise barriers, floating walkways, tunnels, facades for transportation hubs, and even road or railway components. Wherever weight, durability, and ease of installation matter, Diab makes a difference.
Our closed-cell PVC and PET cores are formable, strong, and compatible with a range of surface treatments. They offer outstanding mechanical performance, excellent fatigue resistance, and superior insulation properties. Combined with our finishing and kitting services, these solutions enable prefabricated structures that can be shipped flat and assembled quickly, resulting in a minimal environmental footprint.
From pioneering footbridges to futuristic urban transport solutions, Diab helps shape the next generation of infrastructure, one lightweight panel at a time.
