GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a non-conductive, non-corrosive composite material used across infrastructure, utilities, and industrial sectors. Known for its strength, low maintenance, and extended lifespan, GRP is a reliable alternative to traditional materials in demanding site conditions.
HERMEQ supplies a range of GRP materials including handrails, fencing, walkways, covers, signage, and shoring systems. GRP handrails are pre-drilled and supplied to length, allowing for quick installation where electrical insulation is required. Palisade GRP fencing is suitable for corrosive environments such as chemical plants, coastal infrastructure, and water treatment facilities.
Glass Reinforced Plastic Equipment
Our GRP walkways and covers offer a strong, non-conductive solution for high-risk environments, including rail platforms and energy sites. Anti-slip finishes are available to support safety in areas with high footfall.
Also available are GRP signs and marker posts, chosen for their long service life and resistance to rust or chemical degradation. For excavation projects, GRP shoring panels provide a lightweight, fully boarded solution for trenches up to 2.0 metres deep and 2.0 metres wide.
HERMEQ supplies GRP fencing, made from glass reinforced plastic, for sites where a fence must not conduct electricity or corrode. It is used at chemical plants, wastewater treatment works and electrical substations, and on railway infrastructure, where the fence line runs close to live apparatus or through damp and chemically aggressive air.The range covers GRP palisade fence panels and GRP handrailing for sites where metal degrades through environmental exposure. The composite does not rust and resists chemical decay. Both products are held in permanent UK stock.
A range of Glass Reinforced Plastic Shoring equipment is available to create a lightweight, fully boarded shoring system for excavations of up to 2.0m deep and 2.0m wide. This includes Shoring Rails, Trench Jacks, Back Boards, Box Panels and Waler Rails.
HERMEQ supplies GRP walkways and grating made from glass reinforced plastic for places where the walking surface must be non-conductive and must not corrode. Used on rail, utility and industrial sites, GRP is a lighter alternative to metal flooring in areas exposed to heat, moisture or electrical risk. The range covers open mesh and solid top grating panels, with GRP boards in gritted and checker tread finishes for covering and resurfacing existing floors. Each surface gives a different level of grip, chosen by the amount of foot traffic and how often the floor is wet or oily. Every product is held as permanent UK stock, with next day delivery.
HERMEQ supplies GRP posts for signage and asset marking where a post has to stay upright, sound and free of upkeep for many years. Made from glass reinforced plastic, the composite sign posts and marker posts suit rail infrastructure, utilities, industrial sites and power installations, where weather, ground water and chemicals attack conventional materials.GRP posts do not rust, rot or corrode, so they need no repainting. This makes them a sound choice for remote or hard-to-reach locations where routine maintenance rarely happens. Both posts are held as permanent UK stock, with next day delivery.
