in the offshore sector
Fiberstruct guarantees innovation in the offshore and wind energy sectors. Our GRP products are designed for the most extreme conditions at sea. For platforms and wind turbine components, we produce lightweight, strong, corrosion-resistant gratings and products such as stairs, walkways, and handrails that can be exposed to the elements. These GRP components guarantee maximum reliability and safety. As a result, they surpass traditional materials such as steel.
Offshore & wind energy

Unlike steel gratings, which can become slippery in wet or oily conditions, Glass fibre Reinforced Plastic gratings ensure a safe working environment. Fiberstruct’s products are also an attractive alternative to steel in the offshore and wind energy sectors because of their corrosion resistance, low maintenance costs, and long service life. Whether for platforms, wind turbines or components for underwater structures, our GRP solutions offer the perfect combination of performance and durability, even under the most challenging conditions.
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Fiberstruct has extensive experience in producing GRP gratings for offshore projects, such as wind turbines, drilling rigs, and jackets. This expertise makes us a trusted partner, nationally and internationally. We understand the challenges of the offshore industry, where durability and safety are paramount. Our in-house team of engineers in the Netherlands designs the GRP walkway gratings, which are then efficiently manufactured at our production facility in Slovakia.
In short, from concept to production and installation, Fiberstruct is the partner for offshore.
In-house engineering
In-house engineering
In addition to delivering gratings, we can provide engineering and static calculations to ensure the right choice of gratings for any situation, considering the loads and (steel) drawings.
We also optimize the layout of the gratings using 2D and 3D engineering software to minimize cutting waste and ensure the best fixation method. By engineering and marking the gratings, we save costs by reducing installation time.
Why to choose GRP over steel
Why to choose GRP over steel
Fiberstruct is your partner for glass fibre reinforced plastic gratings, handrails, guardrails, ladders, and other structural product needs. Our professional engineering and production team will assist you from start to finish to find the right solution to meet your needs in terms of sustainability, safety, and cost. The many advantages include:
GRP is corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance than steel
The durability and corrosion resistance of Fiberstruct GRP gratings and other GRP products reduce or eliminate the need for major maintenance such as sandblasting, scraping, and painting. In fact, most Fiberstruct products are easy to clean with a pressure washer.
Non-conductive
Your team’s safety is your top priority. Fiberstruct GRP products are non-conductive and have a higher friction factor than steel, reducing the risk of electric shock and slip injuries. GRP is the clear choice for safer structural products.
GRP is up to 70% lighter than steel with a high strength-to-weight ratio
Fiberstruct GRP has a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional materials such as metal, concrete, and wood. GRP gratings can even be strong enough to carry vehicle loads while weighing less than steel gratings.
Corrosion-resistant
Fiberstruct glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) products are known for their ability to provide corrosion resistance in the most demanding environments, as well as exposure to chemicals. Unlike metal and wood, GRP products will not rust or corrode and will retain structural integrity over time.
Fiberstruct offers the largest selection of resin compositions for products, each specifically developed to meet specific environmental and performance requirements. Check out Fiberstruct’s Chemical Resistance Guide to help you choose the best Fiberstruct resin for your application environment.
Anti-slip / Slip-resistant
Fiberstruct’s GRP gratings and stairs provide a superior, slip-resistant surface in wet and oily environments. Steel becomes slippery when oily or wet, but Fiberstruct gratings have a higher friction factor and remain safe even when wet. Fiberstruct’s slip-resistant products increase worker safety, which will lead to fewer workplace accidents and a reduction in injury-related costs.
