Southend Daggerboards
GRP daggerboard replacement at Southend Station, England.
The brief
Daggerboards are a feature of most stations. Traditionally being made of wood, the costal weather of Southend lowers the life expectancy of the timber. We were asked to provide a long life GRP alternative.
The challenge
Plura helped resolve the following issues with the use of our GRP daggerboards.
Custom CNC cutting
With the use of CNC machines, we can replicate any existing daggerboard design to fit your station
Quick installation time
With a life of 60+ years, POLYboard is perfect for coastal weather conditions
Through colouring
With the use of through colouring, POLYboard won’t lose its colour or need repainting over time
Consultation
We work with customers to work through their design needs and specifications
The outcome
We helped provide a traditional looking daggerboard for Southend Station that will last for many years to come and exceed the life of traditional wooden alternatives.
