    Installation

    Accelerate project delivery with our professional installation service.

    If you prefer not to install yourself, we have a dedicated Installation Team with the necessary qualifications and experience to make sure your project is speedy, efficient, and hassle-free. Our GRP installation team members are IPAF and PASMA qualified, and our Site Managers receive superb feedback on their professionalism and dedication. Our installation services include riser void coverings, high rise balconies and Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) fabrications.

    We offer a turnkey solution for our riser void fall protection solutions. Our riser installation team are fully equipped and trained to install our safety solutions on high-rise new builds, refurbishments and civil infrastructure projects. We ensure that your M&E requirements are factored in at the specification stage to save you time and money. We’ll ask the right questions right at the outset of the project, checking for example whether the risers will be installed before or after the void is formed, whether you need the materials to be cut or drilled off site, and when your service cut outs will be required.

    For existing balconies and terraces that are no longer compliant with building regulations due to the ban on combustible materials, we can help you achieve compliance with the updated safety requirements using our own dedicated specialist in-house installers of our Dura Deck Inspire porcelain and Dura Deck Aluminium decking systems for balconies, terraces, and walkways.

    If you’ve commissioned us to design and manufacture a GRP access structure, our services extend to professional installation. The cost of our installation service is determined by factors such as the project’s location and complexity, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our high rise team to discuss any aspect of your installation requirements.

    Dura Riser Installation Steps

    Riser_Collecting Info

    1 | Collect Information

    Information on voids and location services will be collected by issued drawings or by measure via a site survey where safety, access and equipment requirements will also be identified.

    Riser_Install Drawings

    2 | Installation Drawings

    Install drawings will be drafted to identify the voids to be covered, the finished height and the placement of supports required to ensure the flooring is adequately reinforced.

    Riser_Setting Out

    3 | Setting Out

    The void will be measured from corresponding datums or gridlines, and then carefully marked to enable an accurate installation.

    Riser_Install Supports

    4 | Install Supports

    The Dura Riser Framework is installed into the substrate of the void using approved fixings. Support will be offset by the thickness of the grating to allow the correct finished height.

    Riser_Install Grating

    5 | Install Grating

    The Dura Riser grating will be cut to size and rested upon the supports, then clipped down to prevent uplift.

    Riser_Cut Out Support

    6 | Cut Out for Services

    If your installed Dura Riser flooring solution has reached the next project stage, our experienced team are on hand to assist and ensure the structural integrity of your riser isn’t compromised when the mechanical and electrical services are added.

    • Dura have been a pleasure to work with on the 20 Ropemaker site. The site team have a great attitude towards health and safety and actively participate on site initiatives regarding this. They are very knowledgeable, always keen to help and collaborate effectively and independently with the other trades on the site where required. Their main supervisors Brett, Tom and Lee are all very capable, competent, diligent, and effective supervisors who manage their workforce well and control their work areas. The GRP risers and gantries produced on site are of a very good quality and are installed to a good visual standard.

      Senior Project Manager at Skanska

    • Dura Riser proved ideal for the project as they were delivered to site ready-made for quick installation. Dura Riser negates the requirement for heavy lifting equipment and significantly reduce installation costs, as service holes can be cut in-situ without the need for post fixing or hot works permits. The team at Dura Composites offer superb technical and CAD support, and we look forward to working with them on future phases of Elephant Park and on other projects.

      James Wibberley

      Project Engineer at Morrisroe

    • Due to the nature and intricacy of the requirements to stabilise and re-enforce the platform steel in our services riser on all ten levels, we had to investigate the market to find an appropriate specialist that we could trust, to ensure the works were carried out correctly and properly. The comprehensive and detailed proposal we received from Dura Composites which identified the weak points in the platform structure and how to overcome them was both commercially and structurally viable, leading Dura Composites to be our preferred bidder during the tender process.

      Once the contract was awarded and the Scope of Works was finalised Dura Composites mobilised within days, kept us continuously informed of their progress, and also identified any Health and Safety risks during the installation. Once the works were completed, they also identified how the additional structural supports would be monitored and maintained. In the view of the proficiency of their installed works, Dura Composites are now a valued part of our Supply Chain and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for Riser Installation works.

    • We have found Dura Composites to be extremely knowledgeable, informative, accommodating and professional throughout our engagement with them, on this and a number of other projects. Their design service is quick and offers good advice and an efficient scheme, which is then followed up by a professional installation team who are flexible to the changing needs of site conditions on a daily basis and most importantly are willing to work with us to deal with variations and challenges along the way.

      Our end clients are also complimentary of the services Dura Composites offers from a management and Health and Safety perspective. It’s pleasing to see a forward-looking and innovative company who are investing in Research and Development to provide a service tailored to the construction industry for everyone’s benefit by reducing installation time and material costs.

      Contracts Manager at MH Getjar Ltd

    • The Dura Riser products were easy to install on this project and were delivered to site in numbered kit format already made to size, so it was simple for us to fit each one as the concrete was poured. The durable anti-slip grating prevents objects and debris falling through and has a strong, anti-slip surface, so follow on trades will benefit from a great safety solution that’s easy to work with when it comes to installing the services. From our point of view, it was great that hot works permits weren’t required and that the Dura team gave us all the advice and support we needed to make the risers safe in an efficient and cost effective way.

    • The platform was delivered and installed as planned. We’d like to commend your installation team for a proactive approach and professional attitude.
