Modular Aluminum Handrails: High on endurance, low in cost of ownership

Poor conditions of handrails discourage employees to use them as a regular safety practice and leads to fatal or serious injuries in case of accidents. The deprived condition of corroded/weak handrails put not only employees at risk but to organizations also. This hazard exacerbate when handrails are used on large water retaining structures like water treatment plants (STP/ ETP/DeSal) or within coastal area environment or both.

Conventional handrail MoC i.e. MS+Painting tends to corrode fast in an industrial environment resulting in such conditions. Moreover, continuous exposure to humidity in typical STP/WTP area and coastal environment aggravate deteriorations. Expensive coatings can only protect steel from outside but not the inside corrosion. Such corrosion leads to frequent painting and periodic replacement, obviously at higher cost than initially installed. All such incremental cost put together, increases cost of ownership of conventional handrails. Offlet introduced Galvanized steel, Stainless steel delayed such corrosion loss but not completely. FRP/GRP Handrails also face some technical challenges due to inherent structural properties while SS 316 can derail your plant economics.

In such conditions, in terms of corrosion resistance, Aluminium has performed exceedingly beyond expectations. Be it in coastal area, mild acid and base attacks in STP/WTP or industrial environment. The tough, self healing natural layer of Oxide protects Aluminum metal from such attacks. While versatile mechanical properties of Aluminum provide necessary strength to achieve as load criteria and compliances laid down in OSHA 1910.23 / EN 14122-3/BS 4592 along with ASTM E 935 & E 985.

Looking at the above facts, world renowned consultants like OTV SA, MWH -Stantec, Parsons, Hyder, Dorsch Group DC and government bodies like KAHRAMAA & ASHGHAL (Qatar ), MARAFIQ (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), Haya Waters (Oman), Ministry of Housing (Bahrain) ADSSC (Abu Dhabi ) PSA – Singapore prefers ALL ALUMINUM and MODULAR HANDRAILS fabricated using marine grade Aluminum pipes and Aluminum structural fittings (no welding at site). While Aluminum provides long and maintenance free life of Handrails, Modularity provides ease of erection, dismantle and replace portion within no time and without hot work application.
