The Oil and Gas sector faces some of the most demanding and hazardous conditions—ranging from exposure to corrosive chemicals and moisture to fluctuating temperatures and the ever-present risk of fire. In such a challenging environment, choosing the right materials is not just a matter of efficiency but of safety and longevity.
At Treadwell, our range of Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) products and solutions, including the EX-Series® FRP grating, ladders, handrails, InduSTRUCT™ FRP systems, SAFE-SERIES™ FRP anti-slip solutions, and EXduro™ FRP cable management systems, have been trusted to provide reliable solutions in the Oil and Gas sector.
Treadwell’s Advantage in the Oil and Gas Sector
Traditional materials such as steel, aluminium, or timber often struggle to withstand the unique demands of the environment in both off- and on-shore oil refineries. Treadwell’s FRP solutions offer a superior alternative.
- Corrosion Resistance: Unlike metals, FRP is inherently resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for environments exposed to harsh chemicals, salt and moisture.
- Safety: Our grating panels for decking and stair treads have an impregnated grit, allowing for optimum anti-slip safety. The openings in the grating also allow for water to fall through, which minimises the risk of stagnant water.
- Fire Risk Reduction: With the presence of highly flammable gases, minimising the need for hot works is crucial. FRP installations typically require less use of heavy, heat-generating tools, thus reducing the potential fire risk on site.
- Ease of Installation: FRP is lightweight and easy to install, without the need for heavy machinery. This translates to faster installations and shorter downtime, which is crucial for maintaining productivity in this fast-paced sector.
These advantages are found in our line of FRP products and solutions. Investing in the proper materials can ensure that your structures are built to last.
