Mwanga Solutions presents the Coated FRP Walkway, specifically engineered for industrial environments where safety, durability, and chemical resistance are critical. Coated with a high-performance resin finish, this walkway is ideal for facilities such as factories, refineries, water treatment plants, and processing units in Kenya. It resists UV rays, fire, and harsh chemical agents while offering a non-slip, load-bearing surface that outperforms traditional steel grating systems.

1. Can I use the walkway for corrosive areas like chlorine or acid tanks?
Yes. The vinyl ester coating offers high chemical resistance and is suitable for aggressive chemical zones.
2. How long will the coated FRP walkway last in outdoor industrial use?
With proper installation, it can last over 20 years with minimal maintenance, even in harsh Kenyan climates.
3. Can it support heavy machinery or tanks?
For static loads such as tanks or machines, thicker or double-layered panels can be used. Consult our technical team for load design.
4. Is custom sizing or pre-cut service available?
Yes. We provide cutting services and can pre-fabricate to suit your floor plan or trench layout.
Delivery Available: Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret, Nakuru, Thika, and all major towns
