Offshore & Shipbuilding

GRP gratings and GRP structures are frequently used in offshore and shipbuilding projects as part of walkways, platforms, stairs and decks. Due to the specific conditions in this sector, such as salt water, moisture, wind and limited maintenance options, the choice of material is of great importance.

GRP is often used alongside steel, with steel often forming the primary support structure and GRP being used for functional and walkable components. The low weight of GRP contributes to easy handling and installation, while its corrosion resistance ensures a long service life in maritime and offshore environments.

Standards and certification also play an important role in offshore and shipping. We can supply GRP gratings with accompanying documentation and certification, tailored to the location and application on board or on the platform.

In collaboration with shipyards, offshore contractors and engineers, we contribute ideas on material selection, detailing and applicability, so that GRP solutions are correctly integrated into the overall design.
