Fiberglass Grating Project Information:
AGL was approached by Shook Construction for a full ground-up fiberglass structural design of an access platform for aviation fuel tanks. After several design iterations prior to order approval, the layout, access, load and cost requirements were satisfied. Additionally, due to the location, the end customer required high visibility to meet safety requirements. AGL’s flexible production schedule allowed us to run fiberglass structural shapes in a safety yellow. Despite this small batch, project-specific, demand on production, AGL exceeded the customer’s expectations for this requirement without any impact on the project timetable. All fiberglass handrails on this project were coated in an additional UV protective coating to prevent degradation and color fading over time increasing the useful life of the platform. The 1.5” deep, 1.5” square mesh molded fiberglass grating supplies exceptional longevity, support and impact resistance. Yellow molded mesh fiberglass grating and fiberglass grating stair treads were also used on the stairway structure leading to the fiberglass grating platform above the tanks.
