Marine environments present some of the most demanding conditions for access infrastructure. Constant exposure to saltwater, moisture and changing weather conditions increases the risk of corrosion and slip hazards, making material selection critical.
Barclay & Mathieson supplies access and safety solutions designed to provide safe, long-lasting pedestrian access in ports, harbours and other coastal locations.
Our GRP gratings and anti-slip range are widely used across marine applications due to their durability and performance in wet environments. Typical uses include:
Mini-mesh GRP grating offers excellent slip resistance, helping maintain a safe walking surface, and its reduced aperture size minimises the risk of tools or equipment falling through.
Our anti-slip strips provide an effective remedial non-slip surface on existing timber pontoons, bridges etc. Our stair tread covers, stair nosings and walkway panels also provide effective anti-slip surfacing to high risk areas.
To support safe movement near open water, we supply GRP and steel handrail systems suitable for both permanent and temporary marine installations. These systems help define safe pedestrian routes while providing reliable 1100mm-high edge protection in high-risk areas.
In locations where access for maintenance is limited, long-lasting materials are essential. GRP and galvanised steel systems offer extended service life with minimal ongoing maintenance, making them well suited to marine and coastal applications.
From small pontoons to large port infrastructure, Barclay & Mathieson supports marine projects with safe, durable access solutions designed to perform in challenging environments.
