GRP Stairs

Captrad produces GRP Stairs bespoke to customer requirements. We work alongside our customers to create a plausible solution. All our GRP Stairs use our GRP profiles and GRP Grating thus we have control over the quality of our work. As an additional service, we can have our GRP Stairs, platforms, ladders and fabrications drawn up in AutoCAD if required*

We can cater for any project whether its – small stairs to large GRP stairs, GRP stairs and landings, walkways, mezzanine floors, rooftop walkways and stair treads all can be produced with open grid or solid top.

Structural supports are available in our standard ISO resin systems with others available if required – Polyester or vinyl ester resins. They are also available in Non-Fire retardant or fire retardant resins.

GRP Embankment Staircases

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) embankment staircases provide a robust, durable, and safe access solution for maintenance crews working on slopes and embankments. These staircases are custom-built to meet specific site requirements and are designed to overcome the challenges of steep and uneven terrain. For more information, please take a look at our latest GRP Embankment Staircases brochure.

Advantages of GRP Embankment Staircases

Rapid Construction: GRP staircases can be quickly assembled, reducing installation times significantly.

Lightweight: The components are easy to transport, even to remote locations, which lowers delivery and labour costs.

Durability: Made from high-quality GRP sections, these staircases are built to last and withstand harsh weather conditions.

Safety: The anti-slip surface and highlighted edges ensure a safe passage for personnel.

Low Maintenance: GRP materials require little to no maintenance, leading to lower life cycle costs.

Customization: Each staircase is tailored to the existing slope, length, height measurements, and client specifications.

Design and Features

Modular Construction: Utilizes high-quality GRP sections that conform to strength, quality, and fire resistance standards.

Anti-Slip Surface: Steps and landings have a refined anti-slip surface for additional safety.

Guardrails: Integral guardrails provide hand, knee, and toe height protection.

Highlighted Edges: Optional white and yellow highlighted edges and down stands to all stair treads for better visibility.

Bespoke Solutions: Dimensions and additional options are available to meet the unique needs of each location.

Applications

GRP embankment staircases are ideal for railway trackside or riverbank locations where safe and efficient access is required. They are also suitable for replacing end-of-life wooden or steel structures.

Installation and Service

Our team offers a full-service package, including on-site surveys, design consultancy, and installation support. We ensure that the staircases are delivered directly from the factory to your site and can be easily assembled by on-site contractors.

Conclusion

Choosing GRP embankment staircases is a smart investment for any organization that requires safe, durable, and low-maintenance access solutions for challenging terrains. For more information, please take a look at our GRP Embankment Staircase brochure!
