Relinea Delivers Custom GRP Tank Bund Platform for Waste Water Treatment Facility
At Relinea, we take pride in providing tailored solutions that combine durability, safety, and innovation. Recently, we completed a major installation at a water treatment facility, delivering a custom-designed GRP tank bund platform that exceeded the customer’s expectations. This project underscores Relinea’s expertise in supplying robust GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) solutions, purpose-built to handle the demanding conditions of industrial environments like water treatment plants.
Project Overview: Precision-Engineered GRP Tank Bund Platform
When our client approached us, they required a highly specialised tank bund platform to support their water treatment operations. This facility handles large volumes of water and chemicals daily, necessitating a platform that could endure constant exposure to corrosive elements, while providing a safe and reliable working environment.
Our team responded by designing a grp platform using our premium 38 x 38mm GRP mesh grating, incorporating an integral grit finish. This specific grating offers excellent slip resistance, making it ideal for wet environments where safety is paramount. The grit finish forms an integral part of the grating surface, ensuring it doesn’t wear away over time, unlike some coatings or surface treatments. This feature is essential for ensuring that the platform remains slip-resistant for years, reducing workplace accidents and enhancing the facility’s overall safety.
To further secure the area, we installed 25 meters of GRP handrail around the entire bunded area. These handrails provide a strong, corrosion-resistant safety barrier that will remain sturdy and reliable, even in constant exposure to water, chemicals, and other harsh environmental factors.
GRP: The Best Choice of Material for Water Treatment Facilities
GRP is the preferred solution for industrial applications, particularly in water treatment facilities. Here are the key advantages:
Corrosion Resistance: One of the main reasons GRP is ideal for water treatment facilities is its superior resistance to corrosion. Water treatment plants often deal with chemicals, chlorinated water, and saline environments. Unlike metals, which can corrode and weaken over time, GRP is resistant to these elements, ensuring the longevity of the tank bund platform.
Lightweight but Strong: GRP is significantly lighter than traditional materials like steel, making it much easier to handle and install. This lightweight characteristic reduces the need for heavy-duty equipment during installation, which can lower costs and speed up project timelines. Despite being lightweight, GRP is incredibly strong, providing the structural integrity needed to support heavy loads and withstand regular use.
Low Maintenance: Another critical advantage of GRP is its low maintenance requirements. Unlike steel, which can rust, or wood, which can rot and degrade, GRP maintains its structural integrity without needing frequent upkeep. This makes it a cost-effective option for long-term projects, reducing the need for expensive repairs or replacements down the line.
Slip Resistance: Safety is always a top priority in industrial settings, and GRP excels in this area. The integral grit finish applied to the platform’s grating significantly enhances traction, even when the surface is wet. This makes the tank bund platform much safer for workers who may be required to operate in potentially hazardous conditions.
Tailored Solutions: Relinea’s Approach to Custom GRP Projects
At Relinea, we understand that no two projects are alike, which is why we take a custom approach to every installation. This project at the water treatment facility was no different. Our design and engineering teams worked closely with the client to understand their exact needs and challenges, developing a bespoke tank bund platform solution that met their operational requirements.
Our commitment to customisation doesn’t stop at design; it extends through manufacturing and installation. Every component of the platform was fabricated in our state-of-the-art facilities, using the latest technology to ensure accuracy and quality. During installation, our experienced teams worked efficiently to ensure the grp tank bund platform was installed on time, meeting all industry standards for safety and performance.
