Rising to the challenge

Riser voids – the openings left to accommodate mechanical and electrical services on multiple floors of a building, are widely acknowledged to be a major health and safety issue on any construction site, and provide real challenges for contractors and specifiers.

By choosing high-strength structural composite fibreglass grating such as that supplied by industry leader Dura Composites, contractors can eliminate the need for expensive or cumbersome solutions such as steel grating risers or scaffolding, or less safe temporary plywood covers which have a high failure rate. 

Dura Composites Fibreglass Floor & Service Risers are incredibly safe as they provide a level floor service to negate the risk of trips and falls. They are lightweight, non-conductive, non-slip, impact and fire resistant, will not rust, and never need painting. They can be cut to suit on-site and are non-sparking which means no hot works permits are required. 

Dura Grating Risers can be used as permanent decks to allow maintenance access for specific services, or as temporary lift shaft deck covers – the applications are endless. For more information about Dura Grating Floor & Service Risers, click here.
