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
