• Petronas has planned to build 70 new platforms over the next 5 years.

• Besides Petronas, other oil companies are also planning to build new platforms. Such as Shell, Murphy Oil and etc.,

• In the east coast of Terengganu water, there are about 70 platforms

• Gratings are replaced every 8 years

• Grating constitute about 15% of the total overall weight of a platform

Regions Number of Offshore Platforms

Asia 950

Middle East 700

Europe 400

Total 6,050

Location and the numbers of Offshore Platforms in the world

•Typical an oil field uses about 5,ooom ² of grating panels.

•And a gas field will use more, about 10,000m²

The demands for gratings are driven by industrial production activities such as :-

water treatment plants, chemical plants, petrochemical plants • and other large ind products. Besides being used in oil

platforms, gratings are also used in petrochemical plants.

Since the early 2000, the countries in the Middle East are constructing or planning to construct a number of petrochemical plants that will demand steel gratings

Price comparison

Pls note: When price of steel material fluctuate, all manufacturers adjust their prices accordingly

Litewalk™ is cheaper than Webforge

Given the weight advantages of the new invention, the applications of the new invention will be in situations where weight to strength ratio is required.

Many applications where lighter gratings will be advantageous include safety floorings in power plants, chemical plants, water treatment plants and offshore drilling and production platforms

The result of having securing 140 strong enquiries within 3 days at the OGA exhibitions has proven that this new grating system has huge potential

This invention is simply fabulous…

We received enquiries from these companies…

and all these as well……

“ 1) The Lite- walk grating is lighter than conventional grating and it is an advantage. Weight is one of the sensitive factors for such platform and has always been a challenging factor for engineers like us to tackle. Now with this new product, it has met our objective.

2) We also noted the design on the surface of the grating has more grip. Such safety feature is important to us because it is our duty to put in material that enhances safety values “

By the Engineer from Petronas Carigali

Letter of Testimony
