Product: Safe-T-Span® Pultruded Grating, Dynaform® Structural Shapes, and Dynarail® Guardrail and Ladder Systems
Overview
This project was executed for a leading telecommunications providing company operating a critical data center in Syosset, New York. The company ensures uninterrupted connectivity and communication services for millions of customers. Their operations rely heavily on robust infrastructure, including standby generators that guarantee power continuity during outages.
Problem
The telecommunications provider faced several challenges in maintaining operational reliability at its data center. The most critical requirement was to provide safe and secure access to standby generators for uninterrupted service. The platforms needed to withstand New York’s environmental conditions, while offering secure footing for maintenance personnel. Additionally, the solution had to comply with stringent engineering specifications without compromising durability or safety.
Solution
Fibergrate addressed these challenges by delivering six prefabricated, custom-designed FRP platforms, each equipped with stairs and ladders for optimal accessibility and functionality. These platforms ranged from 24’ to 32’ in length and 4’6” in width, engineered for precision and strength. They featured non-slip treads, guardrails, and UV-coated ladder systems to ensure maximum safety for maintenance teams.
The Safe-T-Span® T5020 ISOFR grating with non-slip grit surface provided durability and slip resistance. Dynaform® ISOFR structural shapes were used to provide structural integrity in harsh environments, while UV-coated yellow Dynarail® Guardrail and Ladder Systems were installed for robust safety compliance. The entire installation was completed in just five days, with zero delays and no field modifications required.
The client and the general contractor praised the ease of installation, the speed of execution, and the long-term benefits of maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant FRP construction. This successful project reinforced Fibergrate’s reputation as an industry leader in FRP solutions, delivering superior quality, safety, and reliability for mission-critical applications.
