Steel and Stainless Steel Grating - CUBE® Oyster
Plank grating with standard Oyster pattern for enhanced slip resistance acc. to BS 7976. Available in hot-dip galvanised steel (B-CUBE) or stainless steel (C-CUBE).
This project involves the partners Fremek AB, Totech AB and PCP A/S.
Fremek is a workshop company in Dals-Långed that is certified according to EN-1090, EXC1, EXC2 and EXC3. Fremek specializes in welding, cutting, painting and assembly of large projects throughout Sweden.
PcP’s solution includes CUBE® gratings and treads for a modern design and ladder systems for worker safety. Fremek and Totech chose PcP’s solution to install a new fuel station for Air BP, one of the world’s largest aviation suppliers.
For this project, Air BP required an anti-slip platform due to the use of oil during maintenance.
Although the platform is new construction, it was erected on an existing outdoor structure with nothing but a roof and fuel tanks. Thus, there were specific dimensions required.
Therefore, PcP provided a more efficient fuel station platform and a safe working environment for personnel carrying out aircraft maintenance.
The project had a strict timeline of 10 weeks as the construction had to be finalised before winter.
Fremek was responsible for designing the air-plane fuel station and for sourcing the correct materials. Fremek contracted Totech for the works. Totech has more than 25 years of experience managing complex projects for a range of industries and, therefore, extensive knowledge of industrial construction and of which materials to use.
PcP has delivered gratings to Fremek in several previous projects. Totech, therefore, approached PcP to showcase gratings with high slip-resistance for the platform. Totech seeked to use standard sizes to meet customer requirements of lead time and budget. At this point, Totech discovered that PCP also could provide handrail and ladder systems.
The PcP CUBE® gratings, treads and toe-plate were provided for the platform in standard sizes. For easy access to the platform, PcP provided fire escape ladders and safety handrails. PcP CUBE® gratings and treads benefit from outstanding high PTV slip-resistance reducing trip and fall risk, lightweight but strong and fitted perfectly into the existing construction from the ground to roof.
Fremek installed the platform, and the workers on-site made cut-outs to suit various plant equipment. Additionally, PcP provided escape ladders to mount on fuel tanks. In case of fire incidents/emergencies, enabling workers to escape rapidly.

a safe working environment for personnel carrying out maintenance on aircraft.
Today it's easier and safer to go up there instead of climbing on the tanks.
As a new cost-efficient alternative to the traditional mesh grating, the PcP CUBE® grating series is suitable for various industrial applications such as building, construction and for the food and pharma industries.
