Bespoke Access Solution For Environment Agency Site
Excellent example of a complete bespoke access solution, using FibreGrid's superb GRP products.
An environment agency site in Hull required a specially designed, heavy duty stairway to navigate a tough, steep incline.
The stairway utilises two of FibreGrid's GRP products, our Standard Grating and our GRP Handrails. We love projects like these where we can showcase our design and fabrication services, and the customer was happy enough with this order that they went on to order another set of steps for another site.

Why choose FibreGrid's GRP Grit Top Grating?
Impact resistant - our GRP grating has high energy absorption and can be repeatedly knocked without causing permanent damage, unlike steel which will buckle under impact (by a bump from a forklift for example).
Lightweight - from just 12.3kg per square metre, you don't need any heavy lifting gear or specialist equipment to install our GRP panels - a two-person team can easily complete the job. Our GRP grating has a much higher strength to weight ratio than steel and many other materials.
Chemical and rust resistant - our chemical resistant resin means our grating can be used in the toughest conditions such as oil rigs, chemical plants and coastal applications.
Very low maintenance - our grating is easy to fit using our Grating Clip Sets and easy to clean, making it a much more versatile alternative to steel grating.
Non-conductive - our grating is radio frequency transparent and sound absorbent, making it suitable for a variety of environments and applications where radio frequency may be a factor. It is also non-magnetic, meaning it's suitable for areas where magnetism is an issue.
Fire retardant - our grating has been tested in accordance with BS 476: Part 7 and meets the requirements of class 2 (certificates available on request). Unlike steel, there is no danger of sparking if metal objects are dropped on the grating. This also means you do not need a hot works permit when cutting our GRP grating. Additionally, our grating contracts and expands a great deal less than alternative materials in extreme temperatures.
