FRP SOLUTIONS— SPARK-FREE & WELDING-FREE INSTALLATIONS
In high-risk environments — offshore platforms, chemical plants, mining facilities — fire safety is a critical consideration. Conventional steelwork often requires hot-works permits, welding, cutting sparks and heavy fire-precautions.
Treadwell’s FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Plastic) structural products are inherently advantageous in these settings: they do not produce sparks when being cut, and can be installed without welding, significantly reducing risk of fire hazards and the need for hot-works permits. Simple hand-tools are sufficient for fastening and installation.
This means lower cost, faster installation, improved safety and fewer interruptions to operations.
Key Benefits
- Cutting FRP generates no sparks. This provides greater safety in fire-sensitive zones.
- Welding not required. This eliminates the need for hot works permits.
- Lightweight, corrosion-resistant composite material.
- Ideal for offshore, chemical, mining and high-risk sites.
- Reduced downtime and improved safety processes.
