Custom fabrication represents a large part of IFG's business. Production requests come in from individuals as well as businesses, and typically entail the creation of custom molds and engineered parts.

STEPS FOR AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
IFG builds these fiberglass steps that have no metal parts and therefore do not produce sparks when moved around which makes them ideal for use in production envirnoments that use flammable liquids or gases such as the aerospace industry.
Architectural Project for The State Legislature Building
IFG installed a hand laminated fiberglass liner in four rooftop planters at the NC Legislature. The planters were leaking and needed a major refit. The fiberglass was applied and then sealed with a special roofing gelcoat. After passing all water tests, the planters were then refilled with dirt and trees, and opened to the public.

Weather Data Instrument Parts
GEM-2A helicopter-towed instrument package built by Geophex, Ltd. In Raleigh, NC. IFG fabricated portions of the conical drag-skirt assembly shown at the rear of the package.  IFG also fabricated hemispherical nosecones and other components.  GEM is a registered trademark by Geophex.
FIBERSTEPS
In the fall/winter of 2002, IFG was building fiberglass steps called Fibersteps (patent pending) for housing projects in Wytheville VA. The Fibersteps are molded individually and then locked together when installed. It's a clean, simple design that is rust-proof and easy to install. View photos.
2003 Projects

Custom fiberglass duct for Guilford Mills, Greensboro, NC. Over 58 feet in length and 34"in diameter this duct was made of acid resistant and fire retardend resins. The hopper was custom made and over 5' tall! See photos to the right and above.

2001-2002 Projects

To the right and below are visual samples of some items fabricated in November 2001 through January 2002 in the IFG shop.

• A fish tank for State of Kentucky Fish and Widllife, used in the fish farming industry.
• The large truck bumper mold for use by 3 TEX Corp in an injection molding process to fabricate bumpers for trucks out of their unique fabric.
• A highly specialized vent hood used in power plants for ABB.

Below is a dish prototype which IFG assisted Channelmaster with in the fall of 2001 for testing and marketing prototype work.
