SIESA® pultruded fiberglass grating is made of polyester or vinylester resin, has an integrated reinforcement and non-slip surface, ideal for industrial applications.
Installation of Spiral Staircase with Molded Grid Panels for Hydroelectric Project in Dam
Within the framework of an important hydroelectric project, we carried out the installation of a custom made spiral staircaseUsing heavy duty molded gratesThis solution was selected to meet the demanding requirements of the highly humid and corrosive environment characteristic of dams.
Durability and Adaptability to Challenging Environments
The spiral staircase was precisely engineered to perfectly fit the needs of the project. Each tread was cut in a semi-rectangular manner, ensuring a seamless integration with the structure. The molded gratings we used are specifically designed to withstand humid environments, where corrosion is one of the biggest long-term challenges.
Long Term Behavior
A notable factor of this project is the exceptional durability of the installed grids. Even after 22 years from installation, the grids have shown no signs of corrosion, discoloration or fractures. In addition, they maintain its anti-slip properties intact, essential for safety in wet work areas.
No Maintenance, No Corrosion
Over these more than two decades, the grids have not required any type of maintenance, which confirms their excellent wear resistance and corrosion. The long-lasting performance under these extreme conditions demonstrates the value of molded gratings in demanding industrial applications, such as this hydroelectric project.
This success story highlights the ability of our solutions to provide safety and long-term durability in the most challenging environments, with minimal maintenance and optimal structural strength.
