EXPERTS IN THE KNOW

Durham designs, manufactures and supplies precast concrete structures, access covers and grating for residential, commercial and industrial purposes, ranging from Class A  (pedestrian) to Class G (airport taxiways).

With over 60 years of experience, Durham brings its wealth of knowledge to the table on every job. Whatever your needs Durham has a solution, and they know what they’re talking about.

Trying to decide if using grates or covers in concrete surrounds is the right way to go on your job? Durham knows they’re the right choice because they allow for quicker installation time. There is no need to form up and no waiting for concrete to cure, making it the smarter and faster option.

Need to know why you should specify heelguard grating? Durham understands heelguard grating is the best choice in areas heavily trafficked with high heels, such as bars, nightclubs and building entrances. There is a 5mm gap between bars which restricts high heels and water flows, resulting in an environment that is safer for patrons.

What about pedestrian safe grating?  If you’re looking to create a compliant pedestrian area, Durham recommends pedestrian safe grating because it is the optimum choice for public areas and domains that cater to all types of arenas that see a great deal of foot traffic. It contains a 10mm gap between bars that allows for good water flow and is AS1428.A Access and Mobility Code certified.

Want to know if you should choose a raised ductile edge for your paving?  Durham knows raised ductile edges are perfect for pavers up to 40mm. As they are a robust product, they perform best in heavily trafficked slow moving areas and have a class C loading rating. 

Whatever your needs, Durham can make expert recommendations and produce the right compliant, long-lasting drainage product for your project.
