The expected results involve different aspects of the high impact that our project will have on European society and markets, and on our company development.
The new linear shape ensures the most complete and functional use by all users, and in particular to those with reduced mobility, and provides better handling the influx of people in high traffic environments. In this way it meets the public entities requirements for footbridge installation. Thus M0DBRIDGE aims to promote a more efficient mobility of people, overcoming accessibility barriers and reducing traffic disruptions.
The most important economic benefits that our MODBRIDGE will ensure, can be summarized as follows:
- Construction industry specific benefits: The use of CFCs in buildings and construction sector guarantees mechanical and structural properties far superior than the materials such wood, steel and concrete. Composite materials can withstand harsh environments, so their longer service life can realize saves on product maintenance and replacement cost
- Reduced installation times: the modular MODBRIDGE is quicker and far simple to install than other materials bridges, which require long setting and hardening times to be designed and installed. In addition, thanks to its fast and simple design conceived and produced like a puzzle, does not require the “modification” of the structures to connect.
- Reduced maintenance cost and time: CFC materials require less maintenance, can be easily cleaned up, require less repairs and monitoring, increasing the operation time and incurring good returns.
Then the industrialization process set out allows high-quality products, with a greater uniformity of impregnation and more standardized geometries of the finished composite. In addition, it guarantees to shorten the production times, as the polymerization process in an autoclave lasts about 2 hours.
This process consents to realize economies of scale, and we foresee that over the first five years, we plan to increase by 13 times our production capacity, going from 150 linear meters to 2,000 linear meters, and enlarging our manufacturing workforce by hiring at least four workers to be employed in the production chain.
The results in terms of revenues are expected to reach a turnover of 42.30 Million, and Total Profit of 9.5 MIllion € over the first five years of deployment, presenting a ROI of 2.80 if we consider that the total required investment will be 2.5 Million € for the same period.
