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.

What Clients Say About Our Company
EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Peter Nicholson20/04/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The firm and staff were all excellent, the product was very well finished and all the advice given was very helpful, unfortunately it turned out to be of no use for my application, but this in no way reflects on the company that made an excellent product, I wanted a long tube to put an aerial inside it, fibreglass is normally transparent to radio signals, but something in the make up of the fibreglass tube was totally blocking the radio signals from getting out of the tube, the problem is possibly to do with the colouring agent, the tube I had was grey, darker colours can often cause problems for aerials, possibly if I'd chosen yellow, the other colour offered by the firm it may have worked well, but all this is my problem, not the company that made the tube, the tube is Very well made and nicely finished off, the staff could not have been more helpful, despite my problems this is a Highly Recommended firm.

FAQs About GRP Decking
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.
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.
Deck panels are fixed using clips or screws. Anti-slip strips can be bonded or drilled to the surface.
No. GRP decking is designed to be maintenance-free. It won’t rust, rot, or degrade over time.
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.
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.
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.
