We are a research and development company challenged to develop next generation FRP products.
Our FRP BT System is the strongest and most durable system available today. It was developed by the prolific inventor of FRP for infrastructure as a seismic retrofit. Dymat was founded by Ed Fyfe who is recognized around the world as the pioneer of the fiber reinforced polymer structural strengthening industry and possesses over 40 patents in the field.
Edward Fyfe Journey
1968
After obtaining a degree in engineering from the University of British Columbia, Ed opened his first company, Elastometal Limited. Elastometal Limited was based upon Ed's own invention, the Fyfe Disc Bearing, a new concept in bridge bearings for the/ long span bridges introduced in the late sixties.
1968
Ed invented and started to develop the concept of wrapping or strengthening concrete and other structures using high strength fibe
1968
Ed started the Fyfe Group with the idea to strengthen deficient bridge columns in California using this high strength fiber, Fibrwrap®. It was not long before Ed Fyfe's concept was making major waves within the industry. The patented Fyfe Technology has made a great contribution to the retrofitting of structures.
2011
San Diego Award Winner, Ed's dedication to innovation, ability to go above and beyond the typical business model, and passion for continued growth were contributing factors to him being named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year

Achievement
Research
Ed's first Research for pipe application was in 1998 with a co-operative program at Arizona Power Nuclear facility 30 miles West of Phoenix, Arizona. Testing on full scale 67-inch diameter pipe both for dig up and outside Carbon Fiber Wrap and innovatively Wrap from the inside. Both programs were successful. The testing lead to 3 section of pipe under the railway on the section outside the plant, then 20 sections of pipe inside the plant (67 inch to 120 inch). This is the retrofit of PCCP (prestressed cylindrical concrete pipe) pipe. This project lead to many other carbon Fiber Reinforced pip projects.
In 2008, projects on the steel pipe in Hong Kong were started. These projects used glass fiber with similar installation technics. Access was from the pipe end sections.
