Applications of GRP Grating in Industrial Sectors
Safety is paramount in any industrial setting, and GRP grating excels in this regard. With its non-slip surface, it provides a secure footing even in demanding environments where slips and falls pose significant risks. This anti-slip feature makes GRP grating ideal for walkways, platforms, and ramps, ensuring the well-being of workers and reducing the likelihood of accidents.

GRP Grating and Access Systems for Industrial Sites
Industrial sites are hard on flooring and access structures. Chemicals, moisture, oils and constant foot and trolley traffic quickly corrode steel and wear out timber. GRP grating is built for these conditions: it is corrosion-resistant, anti-slip, non-conductive and far lighter than steel, so it lasts longer and is easier to install.
We design, fabricate and install GRP flooring, walkways, platforms, stairs, handrails and ladders for manufacturing plants, chemical and process facilities, power generation, water treatment, food production and waste sites across the UK.
Built for Demanding Environments
Corrosion Resistance
Resin systems can be chosen to suit the chemicals on site, from general-purpose to more aggressive environments.
Non-Conductive
GRP does not conduct electricity, making it a safer choice around switchgear, substations and electrical plant.
Anti-Slip Surfaces
Gritted and concave finishes help keep footing secure where oil, water or product are present.
Fire-Retardant and Low-Smoke Resins
Available where fire performance is part of the specification.
Lightweight
Panels can often be carried and fitted by hand, which matters on live sites with limited access.
Access Around Existing Plant
Much industrial work means adding safe access around machinery, pipework and tanks that are already in place. We survey the area, design platforms and walkways around the equipment and fabricate them to fit, so installation is fast and disruption to production is kept to a minimum.
Our work at Land Rover’s Halewood plant and New Holland’s Basildon site shows this in practice.
Compliance and Site Working
We design to the requirements that apply on industrial sites, including CDM, PUWER and the Work at Height Regulations, and follow RAMS and permit-to-work procedures on live sites.
Talk to us about your loads, spans and environment and we will recommend the right system.
