What We Build

Composite manufacturing capabilities

Oceanus works on semi-custom fibreglass and composite parts for marine and industrial use, with the manufacturing method selected around the part, its intended use, and the production volume.

Vacuum Infusion Manufacturing

Resin is drawn through dry reinforcement under vacuum for consistent, repeatable composite work where the part's form and performance requirements matter.

Explore Vacuum Infusion

Hand Layup Composites

Resin and reinforcement are applied by hand for custom shapes, repairs, prototypes, and lower-volume work where flexibility matters.

Learn About Hand Layup

Custom Moulds & Tooling

Moulds and tooling can be produced around an existing pattern, plug, or part, supporting repeatable production where appropriate.

Marine Composite Parts

We work on marine components such as structural parts, cosmetic parts, hardware-related pieces, repairs and replacement work.

Fibreglass Repair & Refinishing

We can assess impact damage, structural fibreglass repairs, gelcoat repair, and surface refinishing where the part is suitable for restoration.

Industrial Composite Parts

Industrial customers can contact us with drawings, measurements, photos, existing parts, patterns, and performance requirements to discuss a suitable build.

01

Vacuum Infusion Manufacturing

Vacuum infusion uses vacuum pressure to draw resin through dry reinforcement, helping produce a consistent part with controlled fibre-to-resin content.

This method can suit weight-sensitive, structural, or repeatable components where the part's geometry and finish requirements justify a more controlled process. The right method depends on the part, its intended use, tooling, production volume, and budget.

  • Helpful where consistency and controlled fibre-to-resin content matter
  • Can be appropriate for structural marine or industrial components
  • Useful for repeatable work when the part and tooling are well defined

Hand Layup Composites

Hand layup applies resin and reinforcement manually, which gives flexibility on shape, detail, and repair work.

This method can suit custom geometry, prototypes, repairs, and lower-volume production where vacuum infusion or extensive tooling may not be the most practical choice. It is often a strong fit for one-off parts and jobs where the part needs to be adjusted during build.

  • Useful for custom shapes, repairs, and prototypes
  • Can be practical when tooling is limited or the part is still evolving
  • Often suitable for one-off work and short runs

03

Custom Moulds & Tooling

Moulds and tooling can be produced around an existing plug, pattern, or part, supporting repeatable composite work when the project calls for it.

Tooling requirements depend on the part, the intended production volume, and the manufacturing approach chosen. Oceanus can discuss the right setup once the project details are clear.

Marine Composite Parts

Oceanus manufactures marine composite components for hull, deck, hatch, hardware, repair, and replacement work where a fibreglass or composite solution is appropriate.

Being based at North Saanich Marina keeps us close to the marine industry and the boat owners, builders, and repair businesses we work with on Vancouver Island and throughout British Columbia.

05

Fibreglass Repair & Refinishing

Oceanus can assess structural fibreglass repairs, impact damage, gelcoat repair, and surface refinishing where the component is suitable for restoration.

Each repair begins with an inspection of the damage and the intended use of the part so the right repair approach can be recommended.

Industrial Composite Parts

Industrial customers can contact us with drawings, measurements, photos, existing parts, patterns, and performance requirements to discuss a suitable composite solution.

Oceanus can advise on the manufacturing method and tooling approach once the project details are clear.

Why Work With Us

Built around the project requirements

Two manufacturing methods

Hand layup and vacuum infusion are both available, and the right method is chosen around the part, the intended use, and the production volume.

Semi-custom approach

Projects are assessed individually, with custom and semi-custom work handled around the customer’s requirements rather than a fixed catalogue.

North Saanich location

Based at North Saanich Marina, Oceanus is close to boat owners, builders, and marine trades on Vancouver Island.

Direct project contact

Customers can speak directly with the team about the part, project scope, and manufacturing approach.

Support for one-off and short runs

Oceanus works on individual components, repairs, and short production runs where the work is suited to a semi-custom build.

How It Works

What happens next

1

Share the project details

Send the part information, drawings, photos, or existing sample so Oceanus can understand the scope.

2

Review the fit

Oceanus assesses the part, the right manufacturing method, tooling needs, and the appropriate quotation approach.

3

Production and delivery

Once approved, production begins and pickup or delivery arrangements are confirmed around the project.

About Us

Composite manufacturing approached around the project

Oceanus Reinforced Plastics manufactures semi-custom fibreglass and composite parts in North Saanich, British Columbia, using hand layup and vacuum infusion.

Working from North Saanich Marina gives us a practical connection to marine customers and the marine trades, while also supporting industrial projects that require custom composite work.

We discuss each job directly so the manufacturing method, moulding approach, and build plan match the part's requirements as closely as possible.

Right method for the part

We discuss hand layup or vacuum infusion based on the part's geometry, intended use, performance requirements, tooling, and production volume.

Direct communication

Customers can speak directly with the team about the project, the build approach, and the quotation.

Built to spec

Projects are handled as semi-custom work, with each part built around the customer's requirements rather than a fixed catalogue.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Hand layup applies resin and reinforcement manually, which suits custom shapes, repairs, and lower-volume work. Vacuum infusion draws resin through the reinforcement under vacuum, which can help create a more controlled part for structural or repeatable work. The best method depends on the part, its use, the required finish, tooling, and production volume.

Oceanus manufactures semi-custom parts for marine and industrial applications, from individual components and repairs to short production runs. Contact the team with the project details so they can confirm whether the work is a suitable fit.

Both. Oceanus works on one-off parts and short production runs where the project is suited to semi-custom composite manufacturing.

Oceanus is based at North Saanich Marina, 1949 Marina Way, North Saanich, BC. The business works with clients across British Columbia, and pickup or delivery arrangements can be confirmed directly for each project.

Either. If you have an existing plug, pattern, or mould we can work from it, and Oceanus can also discuss custom moulds and tooling for new parts. Share the project details so the team can advise on the best approach.

Contact Oceanus by phone or email with the part details, intended application, approximate dimensions, quantity, photos or drawings, and any existing mould or pattern. The team can then review the project and discuss the appropriate manufacturing approach and quotation.

Business hours have not been verified in the supplied website information. Contact Oceanus directly to confirm availability for your enquiry.

Custom fibreglass fabrication cost depends on the part size, complexity, tooling, material requirements, and production volume. Oceanus can review your project details and provide a quote based on the scope and manufacturing method that best fits the work.

We work with both boat owners and commercial clients. Oceanus serves marine customers, repair businesses, and industrial clients depending on the part, application, and project requirements.
