Composite Solutions for Construction Applications
Construction and Architectural – Molded Composite Solutions
Engineered Composites Incorporated (ECI) manufactures high-performance, custom-molded composite components for the construction and architectural industries. From corrosion-resistant building components to lightweight structural parts, our advanced composites offer long-term performance in harsh environments and high-load applications.
Since 1994, ECI has supported construction product manufacturers, infrastructure suppliers, builders, and architectural operations across the U.S. Our customers throughout the built environment have come to depend on our company’s reliable American manufacturing, flexible engineering support, and end-to-end production capabilities.
A Proven Composite Manufacturer in Construction and Infrastructure
Engineered Composites (ECI) brings decades of expertise in composite molding in demanding construction and infrastructure applications. From ADA-compliant detectable warning tiles and wayfinding systems to other custom-engineered surface solutions, ECI has provided customers across various industries with reliable and durable product results.
In one recent successful project, we assisted a leading provider of ADA tiles that was facing quality issues with their previous manufacturer. We helped optimize the unique product features of the design for better manufacturability, changing flanges to improve both product installation and performance. The result was less warping – better fitment, fewer rejected parts – along with reduced product weight.
Our integration of in-house tooling was instrumental in this project, enabling ECI to make rapid modifications to tooling and improve product manufacturability. We were able to insert the tools with new chrome bars and eliminate the part features that caused the problem of excess warping, ultimately achieving a 30% reduction in scrap rate.
In-House Tooling, CNC Machining, and Robotic Finishing
A significant advantage of working with ECI is our fully integrated tooling department, along with composite machining and post-processing capabilities. Our in-house CNC machining integration, robotic trimming/punching, and tooling optimization allow us to meet the unique form, function, and fit demands of the construction and architectural industries.
- Tooling project management for quick turnaround and guaranteed quality
- Robotic trimming and hole punching achieve uniform finishes and precision cutouts
- CNC-machined composites with architectural-grade accuracy
- Custom jigs and fixtures for repeatable, consistent production
- Comprehensive in-house control to reduce lead times and ensure quality
Our vertically integrated setup streamlines your project from design through delivery.
Composite Molding Technologies for Construction and Architecture
ECI offers a full spectrum of composite materials and molding processes to meet the diverse needs of the building, architectural, and infrastructure markets. Common applications include:
A durable composite option for large, high-strength construction components with superior weathering and dimensional stability:
