(OP)
what are the suitable scaffolding material other than wooden planks to use inside a stainless steel vessel in offshore environment? Scaffolding is required for inspecting the vessel. Is Aluminium suitable? Are there any GRP scaffolding material available in the industry? Not using CS to avoid iron contamination.

We have done applications where we found it more economical to supply steel and then just scrap(recycle) them after the project is done. AL or plastic is very expensive compared to steel - 3-6 times higher.
You must inspect ALL components before every shift (OSHA rule) to verify they are still OK. Good luck

The zinc alloy can easily transfer to the stainless and cause cracking issues if a weld is subsequently made in the area contaminated with zinc.
