Middle East
Client
Kuwait National Petroleum Company / KIPIC
Completed
Fully operational 2024
Total Area
Public scale: 615,000 bpd refining capacity; grating quantity not disclosed.
The Challenge
Public project context: KNPC describes Al-Zour as Kuwait largest oil processing facility, with 615,000 bpd refining capacity. Large process units, pipe racks, pump areas and maintenance routes require access surfaces that manage slip risk, drainage and coating durability in a refinery environment.
The Solution
Application reference: a suitable grating package for this environment is heavy-duty hot-dip galvanized steel bar grating, removable inspection panels, edge banding and tagged fixing kits for maintenance access. This is a specification reference, not a claim of Kingcats supply to the public project.
