Safe and secure access for railway staff to non-ramped platform ends or any raised
operating facility may be achieved using gated access steps made from composite
materials.
A full design, drawing and engineering verification service is available for these products, with prefabricated units
being delivered to site for rapid installation.
Complete with all safety guardrails these units provide a long lasting and maintenance free solution. All tread
surfaces are finished with a highly durable, Anti-slip coating for all weather conditions. Gates are lockable for added
security.
Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) products will not rust or rot, nor will they need painting as the colour is throughout
the product and they are easy to clean too. Medium acquisition and low life-cycle costs are also significant. Should
substantial damage ever occur to any components, modular construction allows for quick, easy & low cost repairs.
Background
The use of composite materials for infrastructure renewals and improvements on the UK's railway system has
gathered pace in recent years. GRP systems have benefits which show clear advantages over alternative proposals
(steel,concrete & timber), with a combination of desirable characteristics:
- Corrosion resistance
- High strength
- Light weight
- Maintenance free
- Low life cycle costs
- Rapid fit times
- Insulating properties (electrically non-conductive)
Benefits of GRP Gated Access Steps include:
- Rapid installation - reduced labour costs
- Custom made to size
- Realistic lead times
- Highly durable surfaces
- Weather resistant
- No welding or hazardous assembly techniques
- No painting required
- Little or no maintenance/repair costs
- Low life cycle costs
- Good chemical resistance
Applications for GRP Gated Access Steps include:
- Safe and secure access & egress is assured for personnel working off non-ramped platform ends or raised
facilities - Maintenance
- Vehicle access
- Platforms
- Signalling boxes
- Elevated installations
Full modular composite construction incorporating:
- Structure made from pultruded GRP profiles
- Load bearing composite panels for steps
- Anti-slip surface with refined aluminium oxide, offering an extremely hard wearing surface
- Hazard line markings - white & yellow highlighted nose edges if required
- Stainless steel fasteners
Dimensions:
All gated steps are bespoke made to specifications as requested by the client.
Additional Options:
Full length maintenance platforms
