Energy & utilities

Within the Energy & Utilities sector, GRP gratings and GRP structures are used in data centres, network operators, transformer stations, energy installations and utility facilities. In these environments, reliability, safety and continuity of installations are paramount.

GRP gratings are used as walkways, work floors and platforms around technical installations, cable routes and maintenance areas. We also supply complete GRP structures, such as maintenance platforms, stairs, ladders and handrails, tailored to the specific requirements of energy and utility environments.

We work together with contractors, engineers and asset owners in the energy and utilities sector and contribute ideas on application, detailing and material selection, so that GRP solutions are safe, practical and future-proof.

Advantages of GRP gratings in this sector

An important advantage of GRP in this sector is that the material is electrically non-conductive. This contributes to a safe working environment around electrical installations and high-voltage components. In addition, GRP is electromagnetically transparent, which means that it does not shield or interfere with radio signals and communication signals. This is particularly relevant in data centres, measurement and control installations and communication-sensitive environments.

GRP also offers flexibility in terms of design and detailing. Its light weight and workability make it easy to take existing cables and pipes into account, both in new construction and when modifying existing installations. This makes GRP particularly suitable for projects where limited space and existing infrastructure play a role.
