Designed as an alternative to exsistiong steel covers, the Glass Renforced Polymer (GRP) Catch Pit Cover bring benefits and efficiencies to the process of installation and replacement. Suitable for new projects, end of life & missing (stolen) covers. Non-metallic construction makes them nil scrap value to thieves. 

Manufactured in one size with a choice of standard or heavy duty options, the covers come complete with fixing brackets (also in GRP) for rapid installation. They are a fraction of the weight of the steel version, so handling the grates into position is really easy. The GRP is UV light stabilised to maintain the highlighted blue colour throughout it's life and as GRP products do not rust or rot, this adds up to a maintenance free life. 

Should substantial damage occur to any components, spare parts are available for quick easy and low cost replacement.
