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 DIFFERENT TO TRADITIONAL MATERIALS THAT REQUIRE SPECIALIST LIFTING EQUIPMENT THIS IS

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.– BEING REQUIRED UNLIKE TRADITIONAL MATERIALS WHICH ARE OFFERED IN A SINGLE COLOUR OR IF THEY CAN BE PAINTED, IT LEADS TO REGULAR MAINTENANCE

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

The installation process

BB Scaffolding DEPENDANT ON SPANS INVOLVED AND OR FIXING RESTRICTIONS, ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS CAN BE ADDED INCLUDING I BEAMS
