Key Features
- Pultruded hollow-core design with internal ribs (maximizes stiffness)
- Corrosion-proof (fiberglass with UV-stable resin)
- Slip-resistant surfaces and bright safety edges available
- Non-conductive, non-magnetic (ideal for electrical substation walkways)
Benefits
- Significantly lighter than steel or concrete decks (reduces support structure needs)
- Requires zero maintenance (no painting or coating)
- Excellent electrical insulation (safe near energized equipment)
- Drains water readily (fiberglass does not trap moisture)
Applications
- Catwalks, mezzanines and stair treads in industrial facilities
- Floor panels in chemical plants, offshore platforms, parking structures
- Cover plates for trenches or ducting (light and easily removable)
- Bridge footpaths and marina docks (resistant to saltwater)
Technical Specifications
- Panel widths typically 300 mm (ASTM D3917 standard)
- Thickness per design (e.g. 30–50 mm total depth)
- Can support specified loads per ASTM D3917/D638 (pull tests confirm deck strength)
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Combines structural deck and grating in one (fills, no holes to trip)
- Aesthetically consistent (no rust or flaking, can be color-matched)
