This innovative product transforms how professionals approach working platforms, retaining structures, and site management.

DESIGN & PERFORMANCE

The GRP Ballast Board system represents a sophisticated engineering solution designed for precision and reliability. The technical specifications are meticulously crafted to ensure optimal performance. Utilising an Anchor Screw which provides robust support and stability, with a GRP Ballast Board that provides longevity and flexibility.

Key advantages of the Anchor Screw Foundations and Ballast Board Posts include:

  • Made from 100% British Recycled steel, with a minimum grade of S275
  • Available in a range of lengths and CHS sizes dependant on the load requirement
  • Quick and easy to install by trained operatives
  • No water waste or curing time, so Ballast Board Posts and GRP Ballast Boards can be attached to the foundations immediately after installation, allowing for 40m to be installed on average per shift
  • All our steel is galvanised to BS EN ISO1461, providing design lifespans of 100+ years

Key advantages of the GRP Ballast Board:

  • Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Highly resistant to acids, chlorides, and solvents
  • Superior Environmental Durability: Heat and UV stable, preventing warping, discoloration, or strength loss
  • Complete Safety Protection: 100% thermal and electrical insulation for touch-safe system
  • Lightweight Strength: High strength-to-weight ratio, significantly lighter than steel
  • Low Maintenance: Easy to install and requires minimal ongoing upkeep
  • Robust Adaptability: Good impact resistance with easy cutting and replacement capabilities
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Often cheaper than steel alternatives, with significant savings in handling and maintenance

APPLICATIONS & TYPICAL USES

GRP Ballast Board System offers versatile solutions across multiple industrial sectors, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and reliability. Their primary applications include:

  • Secure Working Areas with perimeter handrail attached to the ballast board posts
  • Retaining Walls up to 1.2m high
  • Spoil Retention Systems around stagings and access platforms
  • Ballast retention, especially at the top or toes of slopes

A particularly notable implementation involves installing them as part of our larger Location (LOC) cabinets Stagings, where these ballast boards act as spoil retention to keep landing areas at the base of platform stairs clear of spoil and debris to maintain a safe working environment. Other transformative advantages include:

  • Simplified Positioning: No lifting equipment required
  • Rapid Deployment: Quick bolt-together design
  • Efficient Installation: Complete within a single work shift
  • Zero Maintenance: Designed for long-term, hassle-free operation
  • Enhanced Safety: Non-slip and non-conductive surfaces
