GRP Palisade Fence, Ballylumford Power Station

At a Glance

This job was at Ballylumford Power Station in County Antrim. Due to the site being so close to the sea and saltwater splashing onto the existing steel handrail, it had corroded to the extent of falling apart. This led to the handrail failing, causing a major safety concern. Our GRP Palisade fence was the ideal solution in this situation, non-corrosive and extremely strong and durable, it automatically solves those problems. As GRP is a non-conductive material, it is also the perfect material for a live power station.

Problem/Challenge

Due to the site being so close to the sea and saltwater splashing onto the existing steel handrail, it had corroded to the extent of falling apart. This led to the handrail failing and caused a major safety concern. As this application was also located within a Power Station, the live conductive nature of the surroundings also had to be taken into consideration.

Solution

Referencing the saltwater corrosion concerns, GRP was chosen by the client due to its excellent corrosion resistance properties in a marine environment and long lifespan.

Our GRP Palisade fence offered the customer a solution to the corrosion issues. GRP Palisade Fencing Panels are a non-conductive, non-rust alternative to traditional steel fencing. The chemical-resistant resin means our fencing can be used in the toughest conditions such as oil rigs, chemical plants, rail and coastal applications. As GRP is a non-conductive material, this makes it the perfect application for a power station.
