Oil and Gas

Constant exposure to saltwater and salt air is a challenge for offshore oil and gas installations. Bedford has the solution. Our fiberglass-reinforced material won’t corrode, rust or spark. So it’s ideal for handrails, stairs, platforms, catwalks and caged ladders. It also offers the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight, so it’s easier to transport and install.

Applications

Bedford profiles and systems are available with a wide range of options, including fire-resistant resins and OSHA safety yellow color.

Advantages

• Light weight, high strength — easier to transport and install with standard tools
• Corrosion resistant — won’t rot or rust and absorbs minimal moisture
• Humidity resistant — no shrinking or swelling
• Impact resistant — fiberglass mat distributes the load to prevent surface damage
• Safety — it’s electrically nonconductive and nonsparking, and fire-retardant and slip-resistant options are available
• Long-lasting — lower lifetime cost than traditional building materials
• Low maintenance — molded-through color does not require painting
