The skid resistant drain covers help boost safety for vunerable road users
757 Saint-Gobain PAM UK says that it has a number of innovative new solutions for road infrastructure. The novel GripTop range of access covers can help reduce the risk of skidding among two-wheeled road users and feature an aggregate surface designed to boost safety. The firm's Aquamax gully grate has high absorption capacities that allow them to quickly and safely drain roads suffering heavy rain. Aquamax also incorporates heavy duty features which enable it to cope with stringent traffic conditions while producing minimal noise. These units have the firm's load transfer system, which reduces the risk of cracking and premature failure as well as an automatic spring bar lock to deter theft and minimise future replacement costs.
