The operating conditions come first
Saltwater, moisture, weight and limited access affect material selection offshore. For topside and subsea applications, operating conditions, loads and interfaces must be defined before the system is selected.
Why consider GRP?
Corrosion resistance
GRP and GRE can be selected for saltwater and corrosive environments. Resin system and chemical compatibility must match the actual exposure.
Weight and handling
Low component weight can simplify handling on platforms and in confined areas. Lifting and support arrangements remain part of the project design.
Access and maintenance
Gratings, stairs and platforms can provide access around process equipment. Surface, openings, loads and inspection needs are specified for each application.
