Plastic dock gratings for durable marinas and industrial piers
Wooden dock planks and metal decking in humid environments often lead to slipperiness, rot, or corrosion. For marina operators and industrial waterfront facilities, this results in continuously increasing maintenance costs and safety risks. Switching to plastic dock gratings immediately solves these problems through the use of fiberglass reinforced plastic (GRP), a material that is resistant to salt water and chemical exposure.
At Fiberstruct, we understand that a safe dock walkway is essential for both recreational marinas and commercial ports. Our GRP gratings are up to 70% lighter than steel, significantly simplifying transport and installation. In addition, all our gratings are supplied with fire-retardant properties and a high-quality anti-slip grit surface, ensuring safe grip even in wet weather conditions on dock walkways.
Applications and customisation for marina infrastructure
Applications and customisation for marina infrastructure
Every marina or docking facility has different requirements regarding dimensions and load capacity. Whether you need a solution for floating docks or fixed walkways, we provide custom-cut plastic gratings manufactured in our European production facility in Strážske. Thanks to our in-house engineering department, layouts are optimised using advanced 2D and 3D software, minimising material waste and reducing delivery times for your project.
Our commercial team in Terneuzen is happy to advise you on complex GRP products and specific colour preferences. Although colour does not indicate durability in GRP, we can deliver panels in nearly every RAL colour to match the appearance of marina infrastructure and harbour maintenance projects. This makes our plastic dock gratings a popular choice for private docks as well as large industrial terminals where long service life is essential.

Customisation
Customisation
Fiberstruct stands out in its many customisation options. We realise customised projects on the basis of supplied drawings. But we do more: Upon request, we can develop a comprehensive grating plan to meet specific needs. After consultation, the GRP gratings or panels can be cut to size and delivered with open and closed meshes.
Durable and low-maintenance dock decking
Durable and low-maintenance dock decking
Traditional materials such as wood require annual treatment to prevent rot and splintering. GRP dock gratings, however, are completely maintenance-free and corrosion-resistant, significantly lowering the total cost of ownership over time. Because the material is non-conductive, it also improves safety in environments with electrical components, such as power points installed on docks in ports and marinas.
As part of the Syndus Group, we provide not only the products themselves but also the technical assurance of ISO-9001-2015 and DNV-GL certifications. Our engineers can perform structural calculations to ensure the selected thickness matches the expected loads and environmental conditions. This guarantees a reliable walkway grating system capable of withstanding intensive use in demanding marina and maritime environments.
Installing GRP gratings and specialist advice
Installing GRP gratings and specialist advice
Installing plastic walkway gratings is straightforward thanks to the dedicated fastening systems we supply. For standard offshore and marine environments, we typically recommend stainless steel 304-A2 clips to ensure a stable positioning of the decking panels. For larger projects within the industry or civil engineering sectors, our team can provide full installation services on-site, supporting you from design through to completion.
Fiberstruct acts as your technical partner, looking beyond the simple supply of gratings. We analyse the specific application areas and provide tailored advice that matches the actual requirements of your project in the maritime sector. View our completed projects to see how we have enhanced durability in various constructions using high-quality plastic solutions and smart engineering.
