Applications using GRP/FRP are ever increasing in popularity.
Corrosion resistance was a main factor offering significant benefits offshore. Gripclad cut to size the required open mesh grating in accordance with the drawings supplied. Using Stainless Steel fixings clips with nuts, bolts and washers. No Welding or hot works needed.
Also included in the installation was the replacement of the GRIPCLAD ® Handrailing which consisted of GRP Rails, Elbows, Tees, Cross, Surface Mounted Base.
Major Asset-Owners are fostering innovation and steadily increasing GFRP use in both reinforcement, refurbishment and new build projects.
In this particular application, there was no special lifting gear needed, for the 50mm thick grp grating. This was cut at workshop and supplied in sections 1200mm x 1200mm ( weighing approx 34kgs) for the Access Deck and Upper Deck.
