The Ultimate Safety Solutions for Service Risers
Applications
Riser voids are the openings left to accommodate mechanical and electrical services on multiple floors of a building and can provide real safety challenges for contractors and specifiers.
Falls are the largest cause of accidental death in the construction industry and account for 50% of all fatalities according to the UK Health and Safety Executive.
Mechanical & Electrical Service Risers Lift Risers Riser Voids Riser Shafts Riser Grilles Smoke Risers Service Riser Cupboards Builders Work Holes
In 2013, a principal contractor was prosecuted after a workman fell from an unguarded edge into a riser duct and plunged over four storeys on a major project to renovate the historic Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square, London. The total distance of the fall was more than 14 metres and the incident gained significant media attention.
Accidents like this, involving falls can be prevented if the right training and equipment are provided and properly used.
Dura Composites is a market-leader in the manufacture and supply of riser flooring for multi-storey residential and commercial developments, with options to suit every type of construction. Dura Grating Floor Riser Solutions can be installed at an early stage of the project, eliminating the need for scaffold handrails, netting or timber shuttering.
Manufactured using advanced composite fibreglass technology, Dura Grating features one of the highest degrees of slip resistance ever measured for a walking surface and can
be used in a variety of applications to replace steel, metal or wood.
Dura Grating Service Riser Flooring is also extremely versatile; we offer a Post Fix Perimeter Frame Solution following the curing of concrete, or the option for Dura Grating to be cast into concrete using a perforated steel deck box to form a level floor which negates trips and falls, and acts as a concrete shutter. This provides a permanent structural riser void decking solution without the need to breakout timbers at a later stge of the project.

UDL Point Load
No matter what your building type or stage of project, Dura Composites has a Dura Grating Floor Riser Solution to suit you.
A Point Load is any static load considered to act over a small or concentrated area when compared to the extent of the surface to which the load is applied. A Uniformly Distributed Load or UDL is one where the load is considered evenly distributed across a defined area. Determining the correct load rating for your riser flooring platform is dependent on the intended use and types of equipment placed on it.
For more detailed load and deflection data, please consult our supporting Technical Manual.
