    Water & Wastewater

    Our d² Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) products are redefining best practice in the water and wastewater treatment sectors. Designed to withstand aggressive environments, chemical exposure and heavy footfall, our WIMES-compliant, low carbon access systems help utility providers and contractors deliver safer, faster and more sustainable infrastructure upgrades.

    Tougher Than Steel, Lighter Than You Think

    d² GRP offers superior performance compared to traditional galvanised mild steel (GMS), without the drawbacks of corrosion, high maintenance or long lead times. Here are the key advantages:

    • 60-year design life – dramatically reducing long-term replacement costs.
    • Chemical resistance – resilient against H₂S and common WTW exposures.
    • UV tested to 5,000+ hours – well above the industry standard.
    • Slip-tested to 1.1 million footfalls – the highest slip resistance on the market.
    • Lighter than GMS – reducing manual handling and installation risks.
    • As little as a 3–4 day turnaround – compared to the typical 6+ weeks for fabricated steel.

    Our services include precision 3D scanning and drone surveys, detailed BIM models and structural calculations to support compliant design, rapid delivery using our own Dura-branded logistics fleet, and optional inspection and maintenance packages to support long-term asset performance.

    Proven in Harsh, High-Load Environments

    Our in-house team of designers and structural engineers deliver load-rated designs backed by FEA modelling, ensuring compliance with:

    • British Standards
    • WIMES specifications
    • Water utility requirements

    Every project comes with a Declaration of Conformity and can be tailored to meet span, width and loading requirements for kiosk access platforms, wet wells, trench covers and bund areas.

    Sustainability Built In from the Start

    Our d² range is the UK’s only GRP solution with a verified recycling and repurposing scheme. Whether you’re pursuing Scope 3 reporting or decarbonisation targets, we can help you meet them:

    • Up to 33% lower embodied carbon
    • Environmental Product Declarations and Carbon Reports
    • Project-specific Carbon Saving Certificates
    • End-of-life material repurposing — no GRP to landfill

    Applications in Water Treatment & Utilities

    Our d² GRP products are ideal for:

    • Wet well and kiosk access platforms
    • Bund covers and trench grating
    • Staircases and walkways
    • Chemical dosing plant flooring
    • GRP handrails and balustrades (tested to 0.74kN/m)

    Whether you’re a framework contractor or specifying for a water utility, our team is here to help. From feasibility studies to live projects, we can demonstrate the performance, cost and sustainability benefits of switching to d² GRP.
