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.
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:
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.
Our in-house team of designers and structural engineers deliver load-rated designs backed by FEA modelling, ensuring compliance with:
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.
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:
Our d² GRP products are ideal for:
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.
