Supporting the Utilities & Industrial Sectors
Industrial environments present many risks and hazards to operatives accessing sites such as nuclear facilities, substations, manufacturing plants, power stations, sewage treatment plants and oil rigs. Improve worker safety with our proven GRP systems and structures.
Most of our innovative access systems that we supply to utility providers, including best-selling GridEX® walkways and TrekRAIL® modular guardrail units, are manufactured from GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic/Fibreglass) which offers huge benefits to this sector.
GRP is a durable and non-corrosive product, it does rust or rot which means it can easily stand up to the harsh industrial environment where chemicals, oil or water may be present. Its non-conductive features make it a good choice for access to electrical substations, and all stepovers, stairs and access structures have a high-performing anti-slip surface for user safety.

Our technical expertise is what sets us apart, providing online technical consultations, site surveys and projects backed up by unmatched technical support from our team based in South London.
Designed to Withstand Harsh Environments
Often requested from our range are prefabricated access structures and made-to-measure flooring, which significantly reduces installation time. Discover our systems for utility providers, including our popular GridEX® GRP Grating suitable for multiple applications, and TrekRAIL® GRP Handrailing.
