Fiberglass FRP Docks

May 10, 2023/in alternative to steel grating, Blog, Fiberglass Grating, Fiberglass Walkway, marina walkways /by NG Admin

Choose FRP Grating for your Next Dock Project!

When it comes to constructing a dock, traditional materials such as wood have long been the norm.
As FRP grating is extremely durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions, it is fast becoming the preferred alternative to wooden docks.

Strength

Fiberglass grating is incredibly strong and corrosion resistant, making it a great option for docks, decks, and marina ramps and wharves. It can withstand extreme temperatures, high winds, and heavy rain, without showing signs of wear and tear. Wood is vulnerable to rotting, warping, and cracking, which can result in costly repairs and replacements.

Safety

Fiberglass grating is slip-resistant, which makes it a safer choice for a dock than wood. Wet wood can be extremely slippery, increasing the risk of slips and falls, especially for children and the elderly. FRP grating has a non-slip surface that provides traction even when it is wet, making it a safer option for a dock.

Low Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of using fiberglass grating for a dock is the low maintenance requirements. Unlike wood, FRP grating does not require sealing, staining, or painting. It is also resistant to mildew and rot, so it does not need to be treated with chemicals to prevent decay. This means that it will last longer and require less upkeep than wood.

We offer 4 primary profiles for FRP docks:

MOLDED GRATING: 1.5” Square mesh pattern and ¾” Mini-mesh.
PULTRUDED GRATING: T-1800 and I-4000
ADA Compliant options:

ADA guidelines state the maximum allowable space between bearing bars is a 1/2”.
Our Mini-mesh grating and Pultruded options are all ADA compliant.

Fiberglass Grating is a far superior alternative to wood for building a dock. It is durable, slip-resistant, low-maintenance, and versatile.

Heavy Duty HLC Fiberglass Grating

HLC (High Load Capacity) FRP Grating is specifically designed for trenches with heavy vehicle traffic and rolling loads such as forklifts or large trucks. HLC grating is extremely durable and can withstand corrosive environments where steel will rust.

Advantages of HLC Grating:

- Corrosion Resistant
- Long Lasting
- Low Maintenance
- Fire Retardant
- Non-conductive

Easy to install

HLC Grating 1.5” or 2” Deep

1.5” deep HLC grating can withstand 5,000-pound concentrated loads with very little deflection. 2” deep HLC grating is even stronger and can span wider trenches. It has a 1” by 2” mesh pattern with 48% open area.

FRP Versus Steel

With the growing popularity of Fiberglass grating, our customers are discovering more and more applications for FRP Grating where they have previously used steel.

Steel is flexible under heavy pressure; It doesn’t like to bend back to its original shape once it has been transformed. FRP is highly elastic but engineered in such a way to where it doesn’t permanently deform. FRP grating creates less vibration than steel, so it doesn’t emit an annoying clatter when driven over.

We stock our HLC Grating in 4’ x 6’ panels. We can either cut the grating to size to fit your trench or you can cut the grating yourself with a skill saw or table saw using a diamond tip blade.
