Our GRP catch pit covers are Network Rail approved (acceptance No: PA05/03812). They make the ideal alternative to existing steel covers. This is because they are manufactured from tough but lightweight fibreglass, which is quick to install and easy to handle.
Our solution is perfect for new projects. They also make a great choice if you are replacing an end of life, missing or stolen catch pit drainage cover. Not only are our covers easy to handle, they are also maintenance free. Plus with nil scrap value, they will not appeal to potential thieves.

Description
Our GRP catch pit covers are manufactured in one size with a choice of standard or heavy-duty options. Each cover comes complete with fixing brackets (also in GRP) for rapid installation. They are a fraction of the weight of the steel version, so handling the grates into position is really easy for those working on the railway line.
The GRP we use is UV light stabilised to maintain the highlighted blue colour throughout its life. What’s more, GRP products do not rust or rot, so your catch pit lid will not require any maintenance.
UK stocks and spare parts are available for quick and easy replacements.
