Structural Composites Innovation & Collaboration Simplicity & Durability Cost Effectiveness Safety Environmentally Friendly - Engineered for the 21st Century

SPS Technology’s Sandwich Plate System, SPS, is supplied as individual panels or modular units, with factory fabricated details and finishes. Or, in the case of maritime and offshore projects, SPS can be applied on-site as a low-heat or Cold Work solution to an existing structure for reinstatement or upgrade without interruption to service.

Uniquely, SPS can be used for newbuild structures or to upgrade or retrofit existing structures for enhanced performance or larger footprints. New panels are factory built to very high dimensional tolerances and are ideally suited to modular construction allowing rapid roll-out of building units for a wide range of demanding requirements.

In all cases, the thicknesses of the core and faceplates are selected to meet the particular structural requirements for any specified loads. The elastomeric core bonds the steel – any grade, or other metal e.g. aluminium – faceplates, delivering high stiffness and shares stresses acting on one faceplate with the other so both are engaged in resisting the load.

SPS brings structural simplicity. Compared to stiffened-steel plate, SPS eliminates all secondary stiffeners. SPS also delivers a far lighter and thinner structural element than a conventional concrete slab, which is deeper and heavier.  All SPS panels have an extended fatigue life in comparison to traditional materials. Fully recyclable and reusable, SPS is a more environmentally sustainable solution.
