CERTIFIED AND TESTED QUALITY
Frictape Perimeter Nets are always tested thoroughly in laboratory conditions with more than 10 000 kg force, as well as with rigorous, real-life dynamic testing. As proof of safety and compliance with standards, our nets hold the ABS and DNV type approval certificates that make our nets unique in the offshore world.
Our Perimeter Nets are also the only nettings in the market that fully comply with CAP437 and UK Oil & Gas guidance. Based on extensive field testing in challenging conditions, the strength of our nets is known to exceed the CAP437 requirements with a good margin up to the end of their estimated lifetime of 10 years.
CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY OVER EXTENDED LIFETIME
The material used in our Perimeter Nets is a unique blend of synthetic and natural fibers, developed by Frictape. The material effectively resists UV radiation and other weather caused abrasions such as heat, moisture and seagull guano. This results in an extremely durable net that has a market-leading lifetime expectancy of 10 years, which is significantly longer – and also safer – than traditional metal mesh solutions.
For superior reliability and convenience, our Perimeter Nets come with a unique annual strength testing solution that gives you reliable information on current condition of your nets as well as expected lifetime remaining in a low cost and effortless way– so it allows you to plan work well in beforehand, making sure that all maintenance can be executed effectively and safely.

From maintenance point of view, Frictape is more advantageous than stainless steel net. Additionally, I did select Frictape because I believed that it would last longer than stainless steel safety net and HCA inspector highly recommended Frictape.
