GRP Service Riser
Systems
PULTRUDED STRUCTURAL PROFILE SUPPORTS WITH GRP
MOULDED ANTI SLIP GRATING FOR OPEN RISERS
AND CUT OUTS FOR SERVICES
About the system
•
A COMPLETELY BESPOKE SYSTEM FOR OFFERING
COVERAGE FOR OPEN SERVICE RISERS THAT ARE
IDEAL FOR NEW BUILD RISERS & REFURB RISERS.
•
ALL PRODUCTS ARE CONSTRUCTED FROM FIBREGLASS
(GRP) MATERIALS, THE LATEST MODERN MATERIALS
WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF BENEFITS OVER
TRADITIONAL MATERIALS.
Benefits of GRP System
NON SPARKING
THE GRP GRATING AND GRP STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS CAN BE CUT WITHOUT ANY HOT WORKS PERMIT REQUIRED
EXCELLENT CHEMICAL AND CORROSION RESISTANCE
WITHSTANDS THE MOST CORROSIVE CONDITIONS TO ENSURE SOLID STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IN TOUGH
ENVIRONMENTS
UNMATCHED IMPACT RESISTANCE
CAN WITHSTAND MAJOR IMPACTS WITH LITTLE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND NO FAILURE
LIGHTWEIGHT
LESS THAN ONE-HALF THE WEIGHT OF STEEL GRATING
SLIP RESISTANT
IMPROVES SAFETY, REDUCES SLIPS AND FALLS
ELECTRICALLY AND THERMALLY NONCONDUCTIVE
ELIMINATES ELECTRICAL/THERMAL HAZARDS
LONG MAINTENANCE-FREE LIFE
REQUIRES NO SCRAPING, SANDBLASTING OR PAINTING. CUTS LIFE CYCLE COSTS DRAMATICALLY
CHOICE OF COLOURS
ANY COLOURS AS AVAILABLE
FIRE RETARDANT
FLAME SPREAD RATING OF 25 OR LESS
Benefits of GRP System – In Detail
NON SPARKING
THE GRP GRATING AND GRP STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS CAN BE CUT WITHOUT ANY HOT WORKS PERMITS AS
THEY DO NOT PROVIDE ANY SPARKS DUE TO THE FIBREGLASS MATERIALS. DURING CUTTING, NO AREAS
NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM OTHER TRADES - THIS IS DIFFERENT TO TRADITIONAL STEEL WORKS
LIGHTWEIGHT
NO SPECIALIST LIFTING EQUIPMENT IS REQUIRED AND MINIMAL STORAGE IS REQUIRED ON SITE - THIS IS
DIFFERENT TO TRADITIONAL MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE SPECIALIST LIFTING EQUIPMENT
SLIP RESISTANT
AN ANTI SLIP AGGREGATE IS ADDED TO THE TOP LAYER OF THE OPEN MESH FLOORING THAT PROVIDES
SLIP RESISTANCE – UNLIKE TRADITIONAL STEEL WHICH CAN BE SLIPPERY UNDERFOOT
COLOUR CHOICES
WHILST THERE ARE STANDARD STOCK COLOURS, ANY COLOUR GRATING CAN BE OFFERED AT NO
ADDITIONAL COST OR MINIMUM QUANTITY, MEANING DIFFERENT RISER TYPES CAN BE DONE IN
DIFFERENT COLOURS, FIRE – RED, MECHANICAL – BROWN ETC.– UNLIKE TRADITIONAL MATERIALS WHICH
ARE OFFERED IN A SINGLE COLOUR OR IF THEY CAN BE PAINTED, IT LEADS TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE
BEING REQUIRED
FIRE RETARDANT
AS STANDARD THE GRP GRATING AND PROFILES MEET BS476 PART 7 FOR CLASS 1 FLAME SPREAD
RATING, A PHENOLIC RESIN SYSTEM CAN BE USED THAT IS AIMED AT MEETING CLASS 0 FLAME SPREAD –
UNLIKE TRADITIONAL MATERIALS THE FIRE RETARDANCY OF GRP MATERIALS IS DONE DURING THE
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The installation process
TYPICAL OPEN RISERS PRIOR TO ANY
SERVICES, GRATING AND PROFILES INSTALLED
The installation process
PULTRUDED SUPPORTS FIXED TO PERIMETER OF
OPEN RISERS ATTACHED WITH CHEMICAL
ANCHOR FIXINGS
BB Scaffolding
The installation process
DEPENDANT ON SPANS INVOLVED AND OR FIXING RESTRICTIONS,
ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS CAN BE ADDED INCLUDING I BEAMS

FUTURE PROJECT OPTIONS
RESIN SYSTEM
•
GRATING CAN BE MADE USING A PHENOLIC RESIN SYSTEM, GIVING A POTENTIAL CLASS 0 FIRE RATING,
GENERALLY DOUBLE THE COST OF CLASS 1 FIRE RATING (ADDITIONAL LEAD TIME 6-8 WEEKS FROM ORDER, NO
MIN ORDER QUANTITY)
•
PULTRUDED PROFILES CAN BE MADE USING A PHENOLIC RESIN SYSTEM, GIVING A POTENTIAL CLASS 0 FIRE
RATING, GENERALLY DOUBLE THE COST OF CLASS 1 FIRE RATING (ADDITIONAL LEAD TIME 6-8 WEEKS FROM
ORDER AND MIN ORDER 500 LINEAR METRES)
TOP SURFACE FINISH
•
STANDARD OPEN MESH GRATING IS 25MM OR 38MM THICK WITH 32MM HOLES (68% OPEN AREA) A MINI
MESH GRATING IS AVAILABLE IN THE SAME THICKNESSES BUT WITH 14MM HOLES (40% OPEN AREA). WE ALSO
OFFER A COVERED GRIT TOP GRATING WHICH BONDS (DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS) A 3-4MM
GRITTED SHEET TO THE TOP (0% OPEN AREA)
