Oil & Gas (Refineries & Petrochemical Plants)
Oil & Gas Anti-Slip Solutions for Grating, Stairs & Walkways
High-traction, no-hot-work installs that raise safety and cut exposure hours.
Hydrocarbon facilities demand upgrades that don’t add ignition risk or downtime.
Titan Safety Anti-Slip Clips retrofit onto steel grating and stair treads with no drilling, no welding, and typically no hot-work permits—delivering instant traction on oily, wet, or weathered surfaces while operations continue.
Why Refineries Choose Titan
- No hot work: Avoid flame cutting/welding and the permit stack—supports OSHA 29 CFR 1910 and API RP 755 work-practice goals.
- Immediate traction: Aggressive, high-friction profile designed for snowy, icy, oil-wet and rain-exposed walking surfaces.
- High-visibility step edges: Brighter edges aid hazard recognition in low-light and emergency egress.
- Protects asset integrity: Clip-on design avoids stress risers, coating breaches, and galvanic issues from drilled holes/welds.
- Proven service life: Fielded to 10+ years with minimal to no maintenance (refinery feedback).
- Labor & time savings: Modular fit cuts installation labor ~70% vs. welded plates, shrinking exposure hours.

Uses in Oil & Gas Facilities
- Unit accessways (crude/vacuum, FCC, hydrotreater/hydrocracker)
- Piperacks, exchanger bays, and maintenance platforms
- Tank farms and loading racks (weather-exposed)
- Control-room approaches and egress routes
- Flare/utility areas, cooling towers, and offsites
- Turnaround (TAR) scaffolds, temporary stairs, and laydown paths
Fit & Coverage Guidelines (Typical)
Open grating: Select clip size by bar depth; place clips at heel-strike points (front edges and mid-span).
Stairs: 6 – 12 clips per step (width-dependent) for continuous leading-edge traction.
Landings/platforms: Grid pattern in traffic lanes; tighten spacing at turns and door thresholds.

Need help sizing?
Share step width, bars-per-tread (depth), and number of treads/landings—we’ll map an exact bill of materials.
Installation—3 Simple Steps
Position the clip on the bar(s).
Knock into place with rubber mallet.
Verify traction under foot; repeat the pattern.
Most teams handle installs with standard PPE and basic hand tools—no hot permits.
Maintenance & Life
Add a quick visual check to monthly rounds. Replace single clips if damaged; neighboring hardware remains undisturbed. Typical service life exceeds 10 years in refinery duty.
Results You Can Expect
- Fewer STF incidents and near-misses on high-traffic routes
- Lower exposure hours and labor versus welded retrofit.
- Reduced permitting/admin (no hot work, less fire watch/gas testing)
- Preserved coatings and fewer corrosion-related repairs over time
- Fast scale-out from pilot to plant-wide standard
Key Points
- No hot work: (cuts ignition risk and permit burden)
- Non-invasive retrofit: (no holes, no welds, coating stays intact)
- Scalable: (document spacing once; repeat everywhere)

FAQs
Do installs require hot-work permits?
No. The clip-on method avoids cutting/welding, so hot work is typically not required—reducing permits, fire watch, and gas testing.
Will clips hold on vibrating piperacks?
Yes—specified to the grating profile with correct spacing; we’ll recommend the clip style for vibration levels.
How many per stair tread?
Most refinery stairs use 6 – 12 clips per step (width-dependent). Share dimensions and we’ll map exact coverage.
Any impact on corrosion or coatings?
Clips preserve coatings and avoid drilled holes and welds—reducing stress risers and mitigating future corrosion repairs.
