Internal Depot Solutions for Rail

We have a wealth of experience in the design and supply of GRP product solutions for internal depot buildings and railway maintenance facilities in the Middle East

An essential ingredient in the successful running of a railway is a well-maintained system. Trusted with high-profile rail projects across the globe, we are well-placed to assist with a range of infrastructure products that help cut the delivery time and cost of projects. 

Our d² range of products are our next generation composites which deliver the greatest level of performance improvement for each application and can’t be found anywhere else. 

Our unique Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) infrastructure solutions are suited to both indoor and outdoor areas such as train stabling yards, train workshop buildings, inspection lines, wash bays, test tracks, storage facilities and depot control centres. 

Thanks to our unique durable, non-conductive and low-maintenance material technology, as well as our in-house CAD and structural engineering capability, we can help ensure that hardstanding areas, structures and walkways are designed for the necessary loads. 

The anti-slip surfaces and corrosion-resistant properties of our products also ensure that assets can be accessed safely by train drivers and maintenance personnel to prevent downtime and achieve long term cost savings.

Cable Trough Covers


Easily Lifted for Access


Long Design Life


Anti-Slip Surface


Non-Conductive


Fire Resistant


Corrosion Resistant


Impact Resistant


Minimal Maintenance

Lightweight structural covers for rail applications, our GRP trough covers help ensure that rail cables are protected against theft or vandalism whilst remaining easy to access for maintenance and inspection. 

Low-maintenance, durable and simple to install, our composite Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) covers are the ideal alternative to heavy & cumbersome steel or concrete covers. 

They are designed for maximum versatility and work with both pre-cast flat top concrete troughs as well as with pre-cast concrete troughs with a factory formed recess which enable fitting flush with the floor surface. 

Open mesh and solid top versions are available using the latest GRP moulding and pultruding designs and technology to meet the needs of even the most demanding applications. 

With an innovative design that can include either manual lifting eyes or mechanical lifting arms, the trench cover lids can meet the needs for straight sections, curved sections, right angles and Ts and have an excellent strength to weight ratio. 

The lightweight nature of the covers mean routine inspections and repairs can be made easily, by simply removing the appropriate covers.

Moulded Dura Grating Covers

Our Moulded GRP Trench Covers are made from our Dura Grating and are typically used for areas of pedestrian traffic and are available in a range of load ratings to suit every application and budget. 

With an unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio, they substantially lower the cost of installation, maintenance and transport compared to  concrete covers. Many of our trench and trough access covers are available from stock for immediate despatch.

Pultruded Dura Grating Covers

Our one piece heavy duty trench covers are pultruded in one mass to produce a consistent quality and incredible strength to weight ratio. They are ideally suited to vehicular loading requirements for infrastructure installations including power, telecoms and utility projects. 

The covers are easy to lift, transport and install, unlike bulky concrete trough and access covers.

Pultruded Dura Slab Pit Covers

Dura Slab is suitable for applications that require impressive strength, and has been Tested to B.S. EN124. This European standard applies to duct covers and manhole tops for vehicular and pedestrian areas. In order to reach this approval, a Dura Slab duct cover panel of 74mm thickness and 1280mm span was subjected to a load equivalent to two thirds of the Class B test load, 83.3kN, and then reduced to zero. 

GRP structural covers are lightweight, high strength, anti-slip and easily removed for maintenance access. Dura Slab covers can easily be lifted by one, two or four-man teams using standard lifting keys.

Driver Hop Ups

We supply a selection of carefully engineered GRP driver hop-ups (also known as driver access steps), designed to provide safe and stable entry to and exit from trains for guards, drivers, and cleaning staff. Each component undergoes individual performance testing to ensure reliability and durability. Units can also be pre-assembled.

Safety Handrailing


Modular System


Non-Conductive


Warm to Touch


Corrosion Resistant

We offer a high quality, non-conductive GRP Handrail system complete with all fittings. Dura Key Clamp Handrailing is lightweight and easy to handle and offers low installation and maintenance costs as it doesn’t require painting or galvanising. This makes it the ideal alternative to conventional galvanised steel key-clamp handrail systems, which are not suited to electrified rail environments.

Available in high-visibility yellow (RAL 1023) or grey (RAL 7043) it can be installed quickly and easily in a variety of industrial and transport environments such as high-voltage areas, rail stations and track-side settings to provide worker or general public safety. 

Despite its lightweight properties, our handrailing offers impressive strength-to-weight and load-bearing performance.
