HDPE Canal Boat Construction in Practice

FP Technologies has developed a new approach to canal boat shell construction using HDPE, combining modern material engineering with decades of industrial plastic fabrication experience.

This page brings together examples of our work, media coverage, awards recognition and video content showing how our boats are designed, built and demonstrated in real-world conditions.

Awards & Recognition

Our work builds on the long-standing fabrication experience of Formation Plastics, including recognised industry awards and media coverage for plastic fabrication, innovation and inland waterways engineering.

Videos: Build Process, Customer Projects & Completed Boats

Our video content provides a practical look at HDPE canal boat construction, from workshop fabrication and shell development through to customer fit-outs and completed boats in use.

These videos help demonstrate both the engineering behind our shells and the flexibility they offer once customers begin their own fit-out work.

Engineering the Future of Inland Waterways

FP Technologies are committed to advancing inland waterways through innovative materials, precision engineering and modern manufacturing techniques.

If you're planning a new canal boat, we’d welcome the opportunity to discuss your requirements and explain how HDPE construction differs from traditional materials. We can advise on hull design, construction methods and the long-term performance benefits of a modern, low-maintenance engineering solution.
