Case Study:

Enhancing Safety and Durability at a Canterbury School

Challenge

A school in Canterbury, NZ, faced safety concerns due to old timber decking and steps around classroom access areas that became hazardous, especially during wet weather, posing a risk of slips for students and staff. Additionally, the wooden structures were prone to rot and decay from moisture, resulting in high maintenance and potential repair costs.

Solution

The school upgraded its access areas to address these issues with our non-slip FRP micro mesh grating. Our grating offers excellent slip resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. It features a 7 mm aperture, making it safe and comfortable for barefoot use.

Outcome

The school’s FRP micro mesh grating installation transformed the once slippery and hazardous access areas into safe, durable, and visually appealing pathways. The school now benefits from a reliable, long-term solution that ensures student safety while reducing maintenance efforts and costs. The project demonstrated the versatility and practicality of using FRP grating in educational facilities to address safety and durability challenges.
