EnviroGrate

Are stolen grates pouring your budgets down the drain?

A new range of strong and light non-metallic gratings for manholes and gullies

With the cost of scrap metal rising, the number of thefts of metal grates is at an all time high. It's not uncommon to read about councils spending tens of thousands of pounds in replacement and installation costs.

Sometime the stolen grate may not be reported for days or weeks, and it can take even longer to arrange a replacement. During this time the exposed drainage poses a risk to pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. If there are any injuries there's the danger of costly compensation claims and payouts.

And of course any newly installed metal grates are at just as much risk of being stolen by the same thieves.

That's where Envirograte can help

Envirograte is an innovative range of strong and light non-metallic gratings for manholes and gullies.

Envirograte is a made from a unique composite recycled material. Because it's not made of metal, there's little danger the grates will be stolen for resale. The grate can even be sealed in with silicon sealant to further prevent theft or vandalism if required. Fewer thefts mean lower costs for you and less risk for pedestrians and drivers on your roads.

But that's not the only advantage Envirograte offers over traditional metal grates:

Lightweight

Envirograte is made from a composite material which is considerably lighter than traditional concrete or metal materials. The weight falls within the limit for one-man handling.

Convenient

Envirograte is available in a range of sizes. Unlike metal grates there's no need to get an exact match for the manhole opening. Envirograte can be quickly and easily cut to size so it can be taken to site and fitted on location. PDS can even manufacture bespoke units to your exact specification.
