Energy and offshore environments place extreme demands on access and safety infrastructure. From power generation and utilities to offshore platforms, wind turbines and solar farms, pedestrian access systems must perform reliably in aggressive and corrosive atmospheres, confined spaces and safety-critical locations.
Barclay & Mathieson supplies engineered walkways, stair treads, handrails and access structures designed to support the safe movement of people while meeting the operational and environmental challenges of the energy sector.
Energy facilities require carefully planned pedestrian routes to support operations, inspection and maintenance. Our access solutions are commonly used for:
Lightweight GRP systems are widely specified in areas exposed to moisture, chemicals or live cabling, while galvanised steel solutions provide high-strength access where fire performance and structural robustness are key requirements.
Both materials provide efficient slip-resistant surfaces, edge protection and long-term, low maintenance performance in hard-to-access locations.
Many energy projects benefit from hybrid systems, combining steel support structures and handrails with GRP grating and stair treads, especially in the refurbishment of access structures. This approach balances strength, durability and ease of installation while supporting efficient project delivery.
In substations and battery storage sites, our Cable Troughs provide an innovative alternative to heavy precast concrete cable troughs. Comprising a 100% recycled plastic base and GRP cover, these troughs are light-in-weight for improved handling, helping improve installation efficiency while delivering safe, long-lasting cable access and protection.
With experience across a wide range of energy sectors and environments, Barclay & Mathieson support project teams with product and material selection, tailored to each site’s operational needs.
