Welcome to Engineered Composites

GRP Decking

Long-lasting, anti-slip GRP decking systems for industrial, rail, public, and rooftop environments. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and built for safety.

Deck500

Engineered Composites GRP decking systems are engineered to perform in tough conditions where safety, durability, and low maintenance are essential. From walkways and platforms to rooftop installations and public footbridges, GRP decking provides superior grip, corrosion resistance, and structural strength in a lightweight design.

Manufactured from fibreglass-reinforced plastic, our decking products are non-conductive, weatherproof, and built to meet UK and international safety standards, making them ideal for both new construction and refurbishment projects.

Typical Applications for GRP Decking

GRP decking is used in a wide range of sectors that demand long-lasting, low-maintenance, and safe access surfaces. With its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, non-slip properties, and corrosion resistance, GRP decking is ideal for both new infrastructure and retrofitting projects.

Public Infrastructure

Used in pedestrian footbridges, viewing platforms, canal towpaths, and access ramps where public safety is critical. GRP decking ensures compliance with anti-slip regulations even in rain, frost, or snow.

Rail Industry

GRP decking panels are installed at train stations, depot platforms, and lineside walkways. Their non-conductive and weatherproof properties make them a safe and durable alternative to timber or steel.

Rooftop Access Routes

Engineered for lightweight installation, GRP decking provides safe walkways for access to HVAC units, solar panels, and maintenance areas — without compromising the structural load of the roof.

Energy and Utilities

Perfect for power stations, substations, and water treatment plants where exposure to chemicals, moisture, and high traffic demands materials that won't corrode or degrade over time.

Marine and Coastal Sites

Resistant to salt spray and constant moisture, GRP decking is suitable for marinas, piers, offshore platforms, and harbours where conventional materials deteriorate quickly.

Educational and Healthcare Facilities

Retrofit GRP decking strips and panels enhance safety on ramps, emergency exits, and outdoor staircases in schools, hospitals, and universities — providing reliable grip with minimal disruption.

Industrial Work Zones

Whether in factories, warehouses, or logistics depots, GRP decking provides strong, slip-resistant access for workers around machinery, loading bays, or elevated platforms

Case Study: Rooftop Helipad, Tres Cruces Hospital (Spain)

Engineered Composites supplied GRP Deck 500 panels to create a rooftop helicopter landing pad at Tres Cruces Hospital. The existing roof could not support a heavy steel deck, and downtime was not an option for emergency care.

Our GRP solution delivered:

  • A lightweight yet high-strength decking system

  • Non-sparking, non-conductive panels for aviation safety

  • Fast, low-disruption installation without structural modification

  • Long-term durability under UV exposure and weather variation

This project demonstrates the reliability and versatility of GRP decking in safety-critical applications.

FAQs About GRP Decking

What is GRP decking used for?

GRP decking is used to create safe, slip-resistant walking surfaces in industrial, commercial, and public settings. Common applications include pedestrian footbridges, rooftop access walkways, maintenance platforms, and railway station decks. It’s ideal for areas where moisture, heavy foot traffic, or corrosion are concerns.

Is GRP decking suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, GRP decking is weatherproof and UV-stable, making it ideal for outdoor environments. It resists rain, frost, salt spray, and temperature changes, maintaining its anti-slip properties year-round. It’s widely used in rooftops, marine areas, and public infrastructure.

How is it installed?

Deck panels are fixed using clips or screws. Anti-slip strips can be bonded or drilled to the surface.

 

Does it require maintenance?

No. GRP decking is designed to be maintenance-free. It won’t rust, rot, or degrade over time.

 

How long does GRP decking last?

When properly installed, GRP decking can last over 25 years. It doesn’t rust, rot, or degrade like timber or steel, and requires very little maintenance. Its long lifespan makes it a cost-effective solution for safety-critical walkways and platforms.

Is GRP decking fire rated?

Yes. Most GRP decking panels, including Deck 500, meet fire safety standards such as ASTM E84 Class 2 and EN 13501-1. These ratings ensure the material performs well in fire resistance, making it suitable for commercial and public installations.

Can GRP decking be cut to size?

Absolutely. GRP decking can be custom-cut to fit your specific layout, whether you’re installing on stairs, ramps, curved platforms, or retrofit walkways. Both full panels and anti-slip strips can be tailored on-site or supplied pre-cut to save time.
