GRP Service Riser Flooring Solution

RiserGuard offers several benefits over existing products such as ‘Flowforge’, so it is no wonder that more and more architects, contractors, and developers are specifying GRP for their service riser floors.

  • GRP provides a flexible & practical solution that takes away the challenges of riser flooring installation and will reduce overall costs
  • Eliminates the need for costly edge protection thus avoiding continuous inspection & surveillance
  • Reduces the cost of installation of M&E equipment by providing easy lift out panels
  • Reduces the need for return visits to the site by other trades
  • Provision of a fully floored out riser void at the outset eliminates the risks of falls
  • Reduces the risk posed during the M&E installation by providing a safe working platform
  • Eliminates the need for hot works and permits on site
  • Lightweight GRP components that are easily handled and installed
  • Innovative use of sustainable GRP structural materials and bracketry that are prefabricated into individually packaged kits.
  • Design incorporates the full M&E layouts using fully supported lightweight lift out panels.
  • CAD drawings that can be incorporated into BIM models
  • Specifically designed solutions to suit a variety of flooring arrangements.
  • GRP Riser Flooring has an extremely high strength to weight ratio
  • Impact-resistant – the elasticity of our GRP riser flooring means that it will suffer no damage from a heavy impact
  • Ultra-slip resistant due to the integral grit finish
  • Non-conductive thereby eliminating the need for earthing
  • Non-sparking and fire-resistant, ideal for installations where there’s a risk of sparking from a tool dropping onto steel grating
  • RiserGuard GRP flooring can be installed at any stage during the construction of a building. While “the earlier the better”, we can work to your schedule
  • Flexible design combined with lightweight, easily fabricated material allows for straightforward on-site modification
  • Reduced safety requirements for M&E contractors lowering their costs
  • Individual Pre-packaged Kits that are pre-fabricated to suit each riser can be easily transported around the site
  • Lightweight components can be manually handled into position, eliminating the need for heavy lifting equipment
  • Reduces health & safety risks associated with lifting out complete areas and having to reinstall remedial support beams

What is a Riser?

A riser is an open shaft which ‘rises up’ from the ground within a building to allow for passage of mechanical & electrical services.

Riser voids pose one of the biggest threats to safety on any large-scale construction site.

Almost 50% of construction related incidents are due to falls from height.

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) vs Flowforge

Feature
GRP
Flowforge
