and the weld size will reduce to 3.5mm.

6. CONCLUSION
The 40x10 steel grating was checked for loading and deflection under a live loading of 5kN/m2 as
required by Doc. No. STDS-ST-SPE-1-0001-01-00-00 Section 8.1 and was found to be adequate. A
fillet weld of 6mm thickness (as stipulated by the company specifications) connects the grating to
jacket member and the weld thickness was found to be adequate. The grating was also checked for
adequacy after allowing an average corrosion of 5mm all around and the design was found to be
adequate.
