GRP Platforms & Walkways
Engineered GRP access systems
for safe, durable use in industrial environments
Designed and installed for long-term access where corrosion resistance, safety and minimal maintenance are critical.
Key Performance Characteristics of GRP Platforms & Walkways
GRP platforms and walkways are engineered as complete access systems to deliver safe, reliable performance in industrial and infrastructure environments where long-term durability and low maintenance are essential.
- Structural performance for access use
Designed to meet access load requirements while maintaining stability and predictable behaviour in daily operational use. - Durability in corrosive and wet environments
Suitable for use in chemical, marine and high-humidity locations where traditional materials are prone to degradation. - Installation efficiency
Supplied as modular or bespoke assemblies to support installation in restricted or complex sites and reduce on-site disruption. - Operational safety
Non-conductive characteristics and compatible anti-slip walking surfaces support safe use around electrical equipment and process plant. - Reduced maintenance requirements
Designed for long service life with minimal ongoing maintenance, supporting lower whole-life costs over time. - Structural planning flexibility
Lightweight system construction can help reduce imposed loads on supporting structures, supporting efficient structural design.
Platform & Walkway System Types
PJNC GRP platforms and walkways are supplied as complete access systems, configured to suit site layouts, operational requirements and environmental conditions. Systems can be delivered in modular or bespoke formats depending on project complexity and access constraints.
- Elevated GRP Platforms
Raised access platforms designed to provide safe working areas around plant, equipment and process infrastructure. - GRP Access Walkways
Fixed walkways used to connect plant areas, provide inspection routes or enable safe movement across industrial sites. - Modular Platform Sections
Prefabricated platform and walkway sections supplied in sub-assemblies to support efficient installation, particularly in restricted or live environments. - Bespoke Access Layouts
Custom-designed platform and walkway systems engineered to suit irregular geometries, confined spaces or complex site requirements.
Safety, Durability & Performance
GRP platforms and walkways are designed to provide safe, reliable access in demanding industrial environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals and continuous use place high demands on access systems.
- Slip-resistant walking surfaces
Anti-slip GRP flooring and grating options help maintain safe footing in wet, oily or exposed conditions commonly found on industrial sites. - Structural reliability in daily use
Platforms and walkways are engineered to support access loads with predictable performance, providing stable and secure access for routine inspection and maintenance activities. - Durable performance in harsh environments
GRP construction offers long-term resistance to corrosion, moisture and chemical exposure, supporting reliable performance in aggressive or outdoor environments. - Electrical and thermal safety
Non-conductive and low thermal conductivity properties support safe use around electrical equipment and in environments subject to temperature extremes. - Reduced maintenance over service life
Designed to retain structural integrity and surface performance with minimal ongoing maintenance, helping to reduce long-term operational requirements.
Standards & Compliance
PJNC GRP platforms and walkways are designed, manufactured and installed in accordance with relevant British and European standards to support safe access, regulatory compliance and confident specification.
Applicable standards include:
- EN ISO 14122
Safety requirements for permanent means of access to machinery, covering walkways, platforms and guardrail systems. - BS EN 1991-1-1 (Eurocode 1)
Actions on structures, used to define access loads and ensure appropriate structural performance for platforms and walkways. - BS 4592
Specification for industrial flooring and stair treads, where GRP grating and walking surfaces are incorporated. - BS EN 13706
Specification for pultruded GRP profiles, supporting material performance and consistency within structural access systems.
Where required, designs can also be aligned with site-specific standards, client specifications and industry guidance relevant to the operating environment.
Typical Applications
GRP platforms and walkways are used across a wide range of industrial and infrastructure environments where safe, durable access is required around operational plant and equipment.
Typical applications include:
- Water and wastewater treatment works
Access around tanks, channels, pumping stations and treatment processes. - Chemical and process industries
Platforms and walkways installed in corrosive or high-humidity environments. - Utilities and infrastructure sites

Frequently Asked Questions
They’re made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (fibreglass) — a lightweight, corrosion-resistant composite ideal for structural access systems.
They offer equivalent strength but are around 50% lighter, reducing transport, lifting, and installation costs, and they won’t rust.
Yes. GRP is non-conductive, making it ideal for use near live electrical systems and substations.
Yes. All platforms meet BS EN, ISO, and EEMUA specifications for safety and performance.
Absolutely. PJNC LIMITED supplies prefabricated modular GRP platforms, ready for quick assembly on-site.
Common applications include water treatment, chemical processing, marine, offshore, and infrastructure projects.
