Project Description
At Jones Site Services & Installations, we pride ourselves on providing innovative solutions to our clients' needs. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Anglian Water and CEMA at Cliff Quay, Norwich, on an exciting project involving the installation of GRP handrails/guard rails.
Client Overview:
Our esteemed clients, Anglian Water and CEMA, entrusted us with the task of upgrading the handrail system at Cliff Quay. Over the past two decades, the existing steel handrails had succumbed to environmental degradation, necessitating a more robust and sustainable solution.
The Solution:
Enter GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) handrail systems – a modern alternative to traditional steel. Unlike steel, GRP doesn't corrode, making it ideal for environments prone to moisture and corrosion. The vibrant yellow rails and kick strip ensure high visibility, enhancing safety on-site. Additionally, the lightweight nature of GRP facilitates easier transportation and installation, particularly in challenging or hard-to-reach areas.
Benefits of GRP Handrails:
- Corrosion Resistance: GRP doesn't rust or corrode, ensuring longevity and durability even in harsh environments.
- High Visibility: The bright yellow color scheme enhances visibility, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Lightweight: Despite its strength, GRP is significantly lighter than steel, simplifying transportation and installation.
- Customizable: GRP handrails can be tailored to fit specific requirements, offering versatility in design and configuration.
Installation Process:
While installation may take slightly longer compared to traditional steel handrails, the benefits of GRP far outweigh any time investment. Our team ensures meticulous attention to detail during the installation process, guaranteeing a seamless transition to the new handrail system.
Conclusion:
The successful installation of GRP handrails at Cliff Quay demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that prioritize safety, durability, and sustainability. We are grateful to Anglian Water and CEMA for entrusting us with this project, and we look forward to continued collaboration in the future.
