Company Benefits

Dedicated fully employed installers
All GRP Safety Supervisors and Installers are fully employed and work only for GRP Safety. Unlike some companies who sub-contract out the installation works, you can be assured of a consistent high quality, guaranteed standard of work.

One Company for all your riser needs
We offer a full service for riser installations, as we are the manufacturer, supplier and installer. Unlike some other companies that buy in third party products, we can be assured of the traceability and quality of all of our products. This is particularly important given the supports and flooring is required to be able to take set amount of loads.

A Complete service
An important aspect of riser installations is to design the support configurations so that the riser flooring is fully structurally sound at all points in the project. Once service drawings are made available to us, we will design the support configuration to ensure that when cut outs are made for services, the flooring retains its full loading requirements. This is different from some other companies who simply install a ‘basic support’ system that does not take into account the service locations. This can potentially lead to additional costs for further supports with additional cost for further install visits. This in turn can lead to delays in the overall project deadlines.
