Wibe Flex multi-discipline support system
Wibe Flex is our latest range of support solutions, which is designed to suit all kinds of multidisciplinary support solutions in onshore and offshore applications.
Our standard range of support profiles brings full flexibility for creating simple 2D support solutions or more complex 3d volumetric solutions for HV Cables and equipment. Wibe Flex product range is available in both stainless steel & Hot dip galvanised.
Examples of ideal applications for Mita Flex FRP/GRP solutions:
• Oil and gas
• Wind energy
• Industry e.g. petrochemical,
• Water treatment
• Infrastructure e.g. tunnels
• Datacenters
• Fish farms
• Marine
Offshore wind, oil & gas and marine
Offshore applications offer a wide range of challenges, mainly due to heavy HV cabling in a high corrosive environment. With it's combination of the highly durable GRP materials and the flexibility of the MultiFlex Support System, Mita Flex is ideal for heavy duty applications like oil rigs and wind farms at sea.

Infrastructure
Installations in road tunnels, bridges or near railways can be challenging due to highly polluted air or moisture creating a highly corrosive environment. Mita Flex FRP/GRP materials are ideal for these applications and are available in four different resins to accommodate special requirements like fire performance and anti-static properties.

Agriculture and fish farming
Fish farms and animal stables that are cleaned with chemicals are both examples of highly corrosive environments that will be very challenging even for the most resistant of stainless steel alloys. GRP composites are highly corrosion resistant and also against UV light and most chemicals.
Heavy (chemical) industry
It's applications like water treatment, sulfuric acid plants plants and the petrochemical industry, where Mita Flex really excels. Our standard resin polyester class 1 (PC1) is commonly used as it offers great chemical resistance and durability. Additionally we have Vinylester (VE) resin available for excellent chemical resistance against most fuels, vapors and chemicals. For explosive environments we also have the AS anti-static resin, which contains carbon for increased conductivity.

What is FRP/GRP?
FRP/GRP refers to Glass fibre Reinforced Polymer, a man-made resin-based material, reinforced with glass fibre.
Polymer itself is extremely strong. It is a fiber material and in contrary to how it sounds it is very durable. It is resistant to most chemicals, stretching and shrinking, resistant to mildew and abrasion as well.
When it is reinforced with glass, it becomes a structural polymer. Further to these, GRP does not conduct heat. It has extra durability to adverse weather conditions and has UV stability which makes it an excellent candidate for outdoor applications, even for Wind substations built in the middle of the sea.

Our key propositions brought to you in Wibe Flex multi-discipline support system
Insert the sleeve into the channel.
Position the sleeve, and apply the drill jig.
Drill the required holes. One of the benefits of GRP is that it is easy to both cut and drill.
Insert the bolts and tighten the nuts. The sleeve can now be used for angle brackets, flexi angle brackets and other components.
Multi-Discipline Grid System
By using starter brackets, welded to this structure or bolted mounted into a grid system, you ensure the possibility to create a support system that fulfils your needs, during installation, but also for future modifications.
When modelling this system, typically with starter brackets with up to 2-meter distance in a grid system, you can create all necessary configurations and always have a starting point. If the starter bracket is not in the right place, you can easily put it in a traverse channel, and can drop down wherever needed.
By engaging at an early engineering stage, the concept of this simple solution provides endless possibilities for optimising the cost and maximising the available space and providing shared fixing points for different disciplines.
Cable Trays
Mita Flex offers a complete range of perforated composite cable trays, including fittings and accessories, available in two series:
→ CT50 Cable Tray(h 50 mm)
→ CT80 Cable Tray (h 80 mm)
The FRP/GRP cable trays are light, yet strong and corrosion-resistant.
