Type 1055 Solid plate Open-grid flooring connection, Stainless Steel
Lindapter’s R&D Department designed the Type 1055 specifically for Amec on
behalf of Shell UK Exploration and Production, operating in the UK sector of the
North Sea for Shell and Esso. The bespoke fixing enables solid plate flooring to
be fitted to open-mesh or open-grid flooring using simple hand tools. Lindapter’s
unique concept is extended to the Type 1055, removing the requirement of
on-site drilling or welding and installation can be carried out efficiently from above
without the need to access the underside of the open-grid flooring.
The stainless steel fixing offers high corrosion protection and allows pre-drilled
flooring plates to be placed at any orientation and fitted by a single person.
Hot work permits are not required and potentially awkward or time consuming
scaffolding is avoided.
