Fibergrate® GRP moulded grating; Dynaform® structural shapes; and Dynarail® railing
Benefits:
Slip Resistant:
Fibergrate GRP grating and railing was used on walkways to provide a slip resistant surface for workers with added fall protection.
Corrosion Resistant:
Dynaform GRP structural shapes were utilised in the design of hypochlorite hoods, which would offer better corrosion resistance than traditional materials.
Low Maintenance:
The customer was pleased that the Fibergrate GRP products used at the facility would require little maintenance over time.
Application Highlights:
Fibergrate Composite Structures designed and fabricated GRP sodium hypochlorite hoods for the facility. This unique design integrated walkways to adjoin with the spray hoods for stabilisation and resistance of coastal winds at the plant. Dynaform® structural shapes were used in the design of the hood and were used to support the pedestrian walkways. The walkways were constructed of Fibergrate GRP moulded grating to provide slip resistance for workers, with Dynarail® GRP handrail on one side of each walkway for additional safety. The customer was pleased with the functionality in the design of these hypochlorite hoods and walkways that will require little maintenance for years to come.
