After launching several companies manufacturing different products, Speed House Group established “TEMCOPPAD” a state of the art facility specialized in the design, manufacturing and installation of GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete) & GRG (Glass Reinforced Gypsum).
Today, TEMCOPPAD is one of the leading suppliers of GRC in the region and employs over 800 skilled & unskilled labours along with a professional and dedicated Management and Engineering team guiding them through the way.
2. Introduction
TEMCOPPAD is one of the leading manufacturers of
Glass Reinforced Concrete products in the region.
Our continuing strive for quality and market leader-
ship with high degree of emphasis on research, de-
velopment and procurement of quality materials
from Europe, Asia, and the U.S.A. has helped main-
tain our strong position. In1987, we commenced
Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) with a humble staff
of 120 people where today we employ over 500
skilled labors.
Our main assets are, our labours along with highly
qualified engineers ensuring a value engineered
finished product.
3. About Us
Speed House and since its inception had a vision
to be a turnkey solution provider to the construc-
tion industry.
After launching several companies manufactur-
ing different products, Speed House established
“TEMCOPPAD” a state of the art facility special-
ized in the design, manufacturing and installation
of GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete).
Today, TEMCOPPAD is one of the leading suppli-
ers of GRC in the region and employs over 800
skilled & unskilled labours along with a profes-
sional and dedicated Management and Engineer-
ing team guiding them through the way.
In addition to the U.A.E. market, we have man-
aged to export our products to Saudi Arabia,
Lebanon, Qatar, Iraq, Sweden, Oman, Libya, Azer-
baijan and other countries around the region.
Glassfibre Reinforced Cement (GRC)
Glassfibre Reinforced Cement ( GRC ) is a compos-
ite material consisting of a mortar of hydraulic ce-
ment and fine aggregate reinforced with alkali re-
sistant glassfibre. The GRC may contain additional
filler materials, pozzolanic materials and admixtures.
The fibre contents are typically 3% to 5% by weight
defending on product application and production
method employed. The properties of GRC depend
on a wide range of variables. These include the
method of manufacturing, mix formulation, fibre
product type, length and orientation, add mixtures
used etc. A GRC material may therefore be tailored
to meet the particular requirements of a specific ap-
plication. GRC Materials have a aggregate-cement
ratio of up to 1:1, incorporating glass fibre and
made by spray and premix processes. These materi-
als have been widely used for many years and their
properties and characteristic have been studied ex-
tensively.
GRC is a family of composite materials that combine
the high compressive strength properties of cement
mortars with significantly increased impact, flexural
and tensile strengths imparted by the fibre rein-

GRC products are safe, have a good chemical resistance and will not rot
or corrode. GRC is made of organic materials and will not burn, has neg-
ligible smoke emission and offers good fire resistance. GRC is normally
of relatively thin cross sections, giving a low component weight which
allows savings in handling, storage, transfortation, and installation com-
pared with traditional concrete products.
4. PRODUCTS
GRC can be designed into many different shapes
and forms.
GRC can be pigmented into a wide range of colors.
GRC can have a smooth or stone, acid washed finish.
GRC is usually used for decoration, however, it can
be used for thermal insulation or waterproofing.
The innate properties of GRC makes it an ideal
material for:
• Window surrounds
• Porticos
• Cornices
• String courses
• Decorative features
• Sunscreens
• Domes
• Landscaping
The light weight of Glass Reinforced Cement (GRC) compared to
many other cladding material is a factor well worth taking into ac-
count in the initial design calculations.

GRC Advantages
1. Lightweight structure, reduces transport and installation
costs
2. Excellent Edge and Corner Strength
3. Improved Surface Details and Quality of Finish
4. Easy to mould into complex shapes.
5. Maintenance Free: GRC is an inert material, unaffected
by salt, freeze/thaw cycles, or corrosive atmosphere. Unlike
concrete, as it has no steel components, it is not weakened
or cracked by steel corrosion and can live without mainte-
nance for many years.
6. Ideal for Restoration Works: All the above characteris-
tics point to GRC as the ideal material for restoration of
old buildings, facades and decorative features, as GRC can
replicate exactly, or improve upon, any original feature.
7. Environment friendly: GRC neither uses nor emits any
volatile material, and is a low energy product, therefore
contributes to a safe and clean environment.

published criteria such as BS 8800 and the man-
agement regulations 1992.The OHSAS 18001
certificate specifies the standard for an occupa-
tional health and safety (OH&S) management
system, to enable an organisation to control its
OH&S risks and improve its performance.
ISO 9001:2008 Quality management system
certification enables you to demonstrate your
