How do GRP Gratings help in Risers?
There are four ways in which to use GRP Grating in Service Risers. Lay them in position and pre-cast concrete them in but you wont be able to lift and remove them, or fix them down post concrete cast using various fixing positions.
Instant Improvement without Hot Work Permits
GRP Grating allows opportunities for increased safety, whereby the riser opening can be closed off at the same time as it is formed. This not only saves lives but also gives the contractor the opportunity for cost savings. No expensive crash barriers are required as a safe working platform is already installed. Reduced labour on-site means reduced risk, and materials offer environmental benefits through weight savings over traditional materials used.
Where the riser opening gets closed out straight after its cast the service routes through the risers are taken into account when the support structure is planned, ensuring that when the service holes are simply cut out of the grating, using a disk cutter and no hot works permit, the contractor is left with a safe working platform that will last as long as the building.
