Composite drainage gratings, often known as FRP gratings, are drainage items made of composite materials. Gratings made from FRP are currently in high demand since they are thought to be comparable to cast iron gratings. Let’s look at the explanation below for further information!
Gratings are drainage components used at small channels, such as gutters or ditches. It is nearly identical to the manhole, except for the shape of the top hole. The hole in this gratings product is rectangular, with a relatively broader and longer size. As a result, the water running around it can reach the upper hole of the gratings directly.
Advantages of FRP Drainage Gratings
- Lighter mass.
- It is easier to form because it is more flexible than cast iron.
- Impact resistant.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Not conducive.
- Dimensions are more stable.
- Heat resistant.
- It cannot be recycled, so it is not prone to theft.
- Longer product life expectancy.
Current Gratings Developments
In the manufacturing industry, particularly in companies that create drainage products, many cast iron gratings are used, for example, in Indonesia. However, cast iron, which is heavy and expensive, is thought to be less effective. As a result, FRP is being developed to replace cast iron since they are thought to be more profitable.
Design of FRP Drainage Gratings
We will build a product that is accessible to people with disabilities because it will be passed by many pedestrians and many types of vehicles. As a result, the holes in the gratings are formed in a grating pattern rather than a horizontal shape that is wide in size so that the wheelchair wheels do not slip or do other potentially dangerous things.
Furthermore, to fulfill varied customer requirements, we may modify the design of the gratings to their specifications, while keeping effectiveness and efficiency in mind so as not to violate the regulations of the standard size that has been decided.
