Extruded Deck Sections 6082T6

We supply specially extruded deck sections for standard welding procedures. Details are available on request.

 

Pressure Locked Open Flooring

		This product is designed to give the maximum structural performance in corrosive conditions and is manufactured in either standard panel form 4.0m long x nominally 1.0m wide or alternatively fabricated to suit customer’s drawings. By virtue of its design it is easily cut to shape without weakening its load carrying capacity.
Plain loading bearing bars

		The main feature is its pressure locked construction. The specially formed transverse bars are pressed under 90 tonnes pressure into Y-shaped notches in the load bearing bars, giving a fully effective joint with no dependence on welding.
Serrated loading bearing bars

		It is available with a range of different load bearing bar sizes mainly at 41mm or 30mm pitch with transverse bars at 100mm pitch. However, other bar arrangements are available. For maximum slip resistance, a serrated top surface is also available.
Stairtread

 

Stairtreads are available with a selection of slip-resistant nosings:

• Stairtread with extruded section into sighting bar.
• Stairtread with Ferodo slip-resistant insert
• Stairtread with carborundum slip-resistant insert.

Aluminium Mesh

 

Can be supplied in:

Conventional diamond mesh, flattened mesh, small mesh, small flattened mesh, parallel strand mesh, rigid mesh, patterned mesh.

Friction Stir Welded Panels

 

 

FSW: the joining method which exploits the laws of nature. Only mechanical effort is added.

 

A rotated tool is plunged into the joint line and moved along the joint. Neither flux nor filler material are used.

 

   

The friction stir welded method of joining is based on the fact that the metal is subjected to heavy plastic deformation at high temperatures but lower than the melting point. When the rotating tool is plunged into the metal, friction heat is generated. The tool produces severe plastic deformation under high pressure, during which the weld interfaces are stirred together and a homogenous structure is formed.

 

Compared with fusion welding, friction welding provides:

• Increased strength
• Improved sealing. Completely void free, leak proof joints.
• The weld is in principle flush with the parent material.
• Reduced heat distortion.
• Improved repeatability. The FSW operation comprises a small number of variables which it is easy to monitor:  Tools, feeding rate, rpm and position of tool. This also permits close tolerances.

Fibreglass Floor Plate and Mesh Grating

Fibreglass gritted plate is a tough corrosion and slip resistant floor plate which is electrically non-conductive. A unique combination of pultruded fibreglass plate and expoxied anti-skid grit surface provides a textured solid sheet flooring that is ideal for both wet and dry applications. It provides a long lasting maintenance free alternative to steel plate for severe, corrosive environments. It is widely used for walkways, pool decks, bridge decks and splash walls.

Fibreglass grating is lightweight, corrosion and impact resistant. It is also non-conductive and thermally stable. Available as moulded or pultruded with epoxy grit surface to improve traction, it provides a long lasting maintenance free surface for walkways, ramps, pit covers, stairs and platforms.
