Marine Fabrication | Sustainable & Anti-Corrosive Composite Manufacturing
As a manufacturer of FRP composites, specializing in marine and waterway applications, we offer patented anti-corrosive technology that outperforms any solutions in the market.
A recent 100-year, life cycle cost analysis on Tainter Gates was provided by USACE- and the results were staggering:
Traditional steel and concrete gates - $200,000,000
Our Patented FRP gates design - $20,000,000
Our FRP solution came in at 1/10th the cost. Further, we can manufacture 13 gates in 15 months. Steel and concrete would take up to 10 years.
This is one example of what differentiates us from marine infrastructure manufacturing companies around the world.
Whether you’re looking for a barge builder, sea walls, lock gates, or docks for coastal infrastructure, CMSI is the trusted source for marine fabrication and design.
Solving the Corrosion Problem in Marine Infrastructure Designs
Utilizing traditional construction materials for naval infrastructure is costing billions of dollars annually in disruption in business, maintenance, and repairs. CMSI has the anti-corrosive solution for marine applications with patented composite construction solutions. With an expected 100-year lifespan, and minimal maintenance, our LCC is unmatched.

CMSI Manufacturing of a Composite Ship Camel for Pearl Harbour
CMSI provided design, engineering, and manufacturing, for this project addressing the specifications, and performance expectations of our client.
These are single infusions, and VARTM process, weighing up to 8,000 lbs when complete. Each panel assembly can have up 800 individual parts including 196 individual stainless-steel plates. The stainless-steel plates are carefully drilled and tapped after infusion to provide the bolting features we need for mounting other external components in the final assembly. The final assembled product will use 196 panels of various sizes to complete two 235, 000 lb structures.
