Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Grating
Refineries and petrochemical plants need grating for access platforms, pipe racks and equipment structures that handles heavy loads, chemical exposure and, in some zones, non-spark requirements.
Engineering considerations
Areas split into two regimes: heavy structural platforms favour galvanized or stainless steel for load capacity, while corrosive process and offshore zones favour FRP for chemical resistance and non-sparking safety.
Fire and temperature influence material choice — steel retains strength longer in fire, while FRP offers fire-retardant resin grades for specific zones.
Pipe racks and long equipment runs need long-span capability, often met with deep welded steel bars or pultruded FRP.
GoGrating's approach
We match material to the zone: welded galvanized steel for heavy structural platforms, stainless where hygiene or strong corrosion applies, and FRP for chemically aggressive or non-spark areas — all fabricated to the project's drawings and load cases.
What we deliver
Heavy-duty welded steel, stainless and FRP grating, stair treads, and custom platform panels with cut-outs, banded and finished to specification for export.
Standards & compliance
Selection guided by ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 and project loading; galvanizing to ASTM A123; stainless 304/316 as specified.
FAQ
What grating is used in oil and gas plants?
Galvanized or stainless steel for heavy structural platforms, and FRP for corrosive or non-spark zones. The choice depends on load, chemical exposure and safety requirements in each area.
Is FRP grating used in petrochemical plants?
Yes, in chemically aggressive and non-spark areas where its corrosion resistance and non-conductivity are advantages over steel.
