ʻO nā kiʻi kiʻi fiberglass he mau mea hana i haku ʻia me ka fiberglass a me ka resin. He nui ko lakou mau ano. ʻO ka mea mua, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka fiberglass a ʻoi aku ka māmā ma mua o nā mea metala kuʻuna, kahi e maʻalahi ai ka lawe ʻana, hoʻokomo a hoʻoneʻe i ka wā e hana ai i nā kiʻi kiʻi nui. ʻAʻole wale ia, ʻo ka pale ʻana o ka corrosion o FRP kekahi o kāna mau hiʻohiʻona nui. Hiki iā ia ke pale aku i ka ʻino o ka wai, ka oxygen a me nā mea kemika like ʻole, no laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka manawa lōʻihi i nā ʻano kūlohelohe koʻikoʻi me ka mālama ʻole a me ka mālama ʻana.
Ma waho aʻe o kona pale ʻana i ka corrosion ikaika, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka FRP i ka pale ʻana i ka wā a hiki ke pale aku i ka ʻāʻī ʻana o ka lā, ka makani, ka ua a me nā wahi kūlohelohe ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai i nā kiʻi fiberglass ke hoʻomau i ko lākou nani a me ka lōʻihi no ka manawa lōʻihi i loko a me waho o ka ʻoihana kaiapuni ʻoihana, me ka nānā ʻole i nā kau a me ka wā. Eia kekahi, he ikaika kiʻekiʻe ka ikaika o ka fiberglass a me ka ikaika tensile maikaʻi loa, a hiki ke kū i nā ukana ʻoi aku ka nui, kahi e hoʻoikaika ai i nā kiʻi kiʻi nui.
ʻO nā mea fiberglass he mea malleable loa a hiki ke hoʻololi i keʻano, ka nui a me nā kiko'ī e like me ka makemake o nā mea hoʻolālā a me nā mea kūʻai. Inā he ʻano kiʻi abstract a i ʻole ke kumu hoʻohālike, hiki ke ʻike ʻia me nā mea fiberglass. Hāʻawi kēia i ke kūʻokoʻa nui i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i nā kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi i nā ʻāpana ʻoihana, e ʻae ana i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻano hana like ʻole, ʻokoʻa a pilikino.
Loaʻa iā mākou ma mua o 20 mau makahiki o ka ʻike i ka hana kiʻi kiʻi. Inā makemake ʻoe i nā kiʻi kiʻi pilikino, nā mea hoʻonaninani pāʻoihana, a i ʻole nā papahana kiʻi lehulehu, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokō i kāu mau pono.
Loaʻa iā mākou kahi hui akamai o nā mea hana kiʻi kūikawā i ka hana ʻana i nā kiʻi kiʻi fiberglass nani. Hāʻawi mākou i nā lawelawe maʻamau e hana i nā kiʻi kiʻi kūikawā e pili ana i kāu mau koi a me nā manaʻo. Inā he kiʻi holoholona a kiʻi kiʻi paha, hiki iā mākou ke hana iā lākou e like me kāu mau manaʻo hoʻolālā.
Hoʻohana mākou i nā mea waiwai kiʻekiʻe a me nā ʻenehana hana kiʻekiʻe e hōʻoia i ka lōʻihi o kā mākou kiʻi kiʻi a hiki ke kū i ka hoʻāʻo o ka manawa a me nā mea kūlohelohe. Inā hoʻokomo ʻia i loko a i waho paha, hiki i kā mākou kiʻi kiʻi ke mālama i ko lākou hiʻohiʻona nani.
Ma waho aʻe o nā lawelawe maʻamau, hāʻawi pū mākou i nāʻano kiʻi fiberglass maʻamau i nāʻano nui a me nāʻano likeʻole e kūpono i kāu mau pono. Inā makemake ʻoe i nā hoʻonohonoho kiʻi lehulehu a i ʻole nā mea hoʻonaninani liʻiliʻi i loko, hiki iā mākou ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi ākea o nā koho.
ʻAʻole i loaʻa i kā mākou mau kiʻi fiberglass ka waiwai kiʻi wale nō akā hiki ke hoʻohui pū i ka nani kūʻokoʻa i kou wahi. Inā lākou i loko o nā paka, nā hale kūʻai, a i ʻole nā kīhāpai pilikino, hiki i kā mākou kiʻi kiʻi ke hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe a hana i kahi lewa kū hoʻokahi a poina ʻole.
Inā makemake ʻoe i kā mākou lawelawe a me nā huahana, e ʻoluʻolu e kelepona mai iā mākou! E hauʻoli mākou e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ʻike hou aku a kōkua iā ʻoe e koho i ke kiʻi fiberglass kūpono loa no kāu mau pono.
