Fiberglass has been used in the offshore context for many years as it can withstand the harsh environment found here. Even in difficult conditions, the profiles have a long life and unique durability with minimal maintenance.
In an aggressive offshore environment, gangways and other load-bearing elements often quickly become a costly safety concern. With FRP gratings and steps, you get a safe (non-slip) and comfortable surface – and since our gfrp profiles do not require maintenance and do not corrode, they are the obvious choice in such an environment. In addition, they are resistant to loads and do not change shape under strong pressure.
Our wide range of gratings and other materials are easy to handle as they are light in weight and can be machined on site. The low weight of the profiles is beneficial, especially when used offshore. The low weight also gives the opportunity to achieve great weight savings on the final structure, as it allows for a more streamlined and lighter design, which places less demand on its foundation. A lighter solution also reduces installation costs for factors such as special machinery and cranes. Fiberglass reinforced plastic thus combines a wide range of unique advantages that make GFRP particularly suitable for sustainable future construction.
