2 The Ultimate Safety Solutions for Service Risers Riser voids are the openings left to accommodate mechanical and electrical services on multiple floors of a building and can provide real safety challenges for contractors and specifiers. Falls are the largest cause of accidental death in the construction industry and account for 50% of all fatalities according to the UK Health and Safety Executive. In 2013, a principal contractor was prosecuted after a workman fell from an unguarded edge into a riser duct and plunged over four storeys on a major project to renovate the historic Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square, London. The total distance of the fall was more than 14 metres and the incident gained significant media attention. Accidents like this, involving falls can be prevented if the right training and equipment are provided and properly used. Dura Composites is a market-leader in the manufacture and supply of riser flooring for multi-storey residential and commercial developments, with options to suit every type of construction. Dura Grating Floor Riser Solutions can be installed at an early stage of the project, eliminating the need for scaffold handrails, netting or timber shuttering. Manufactured using advanced composite fibreglass technology, Dura Grating features one of the highest degrees of slip resistance ever measured for a walking surface and can be used in a variety of applications to replace steel, metal or wood. Dura Grating Service Riser Flooring is also extremely versatile; we offer a Post Fix Perimeter Frame Solution following the curing of concrete, or the option for Dura Grating to be cast into concrete using a perforated steel deck box to form a level floor which negates trips and falls, and acts as a concrete shutter. This provides a permanent structural riser void decking solution without the need to breakout timbers at a later stge of the project.

5 Dura Grating Load and Deflection Data A Point Load is any static load considered to act over a small or concentrated area when compared to the extent of the surface to which the load is applied. A Uniformly Distributed Load or UDL is one where the load is considered evenly distributed across a defined area. Determining the correct load rating for your riser flooring platform is dependent on the intended use and types of equipment placed on it.

7 Case Study One The Elephant Contractor: Lend Lease Type of Construction: Reinforced Concrete Building No. of Storeys: 37 Chosen Solution: Pre-Concrete Pour, Fixed to Sofit Product: Dura Grating Solid Top One the Elephant is a significant milestone in the wider regeneration of the Elephant & Castle in London. The landmark development is being constructed by Lend Lease in partnership with Southwark Council and Dura Grating Solid Top Floor Risers have been selected as the ultimate safety solution to the common problem of riser voids. Leading project management and construction firm Lend Lease who are constructing the building are renowned for putting safety at the heart of their operations. Lend Lease chose Dura Grating Solid Top Floor Risers from Dura Composites to cover the riser voids and provide the ultimate safety solution, therefore mitigating the risk of construction personnel, tools and materials falling through. The Dura Composites solution also removes the need to use temporary plywood during construction when open mesh is used. Dura Grating Solid Top Floor Risers are a solid surface Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panel, which is an ideal and cost effective alternative to traditional materials such a wood, concrete or steel. Lightweight, it can be cut on site without the need for hot works permits and can be easily positioned, preventing any debris falling through. Dura Grating has bi-directional load bearing properties and in this application is finished with a solid top, further improving safety. Dura Grating has a high slip resistance, excellent durability and its use in applications such as this means that the risk of falls from height can be controlled from the outset. Dura Grating comes in a variety of sizes and load bearing capacities and can be installed at at any multistorey construction project, regardless of whether the building under construction consists of a metal frame or is being constructed from reinforced concrete.
