Pedestrian Area Drainage
Pedestrian areas require thoughtful consideration to ensure the safety of all who use them, including surfaces that are free of trip or slip hazards. Paige Stainless fabricates a range of products to meet this need while delivering a sophisticated aesthetics to match even the most well-heeled streets. From innovative drainage solutions to custom fabrications, Paige Stainless enhances both the functionality and beauty of pedestrian areas.
Designated Drainage Solutions
Linear Drainage
Linear drains are crucial for effective water management in pedestrian areas, preventing water pooling and ensuring dry, safe surfaces. Paige Stainless offers a variety of linear drainage systems, including grate and frame assemblies and grate and trough assemblies. These solutions seamlessly integrate into the landscape, providing efficient drainage without compromising on aesthetic appeal.
The CLICK DRAIN® system is particularly noteworthy for its ease of installation and maintenance. This system is designed to simplify the installation process, reducing labour costs and downtime. CLICK DRAIN® is ideal for high-traffic pedestrian zones where quick and reliable civil drainage solutions are essential.
Heelguard Pedestrian Greats
Safety is a paramount concern in pedestrian areas, and Paige Stainless addresses this with our Heelguard slip-resistant grating options. The Heelguard design prevents heels, walking sticks and small objects from getting caught in the grating, significantly reducing the risk of trips and falls. Slip-resistant grating provides an additional layer of safety, particularly in areas that are frequently wet, ensuring that pedestrians can move safely and confidently.
The Sump Pit Picture
In pedestrian areas, localised drainage solutions such as sump pits play a vital role in managing excess water. Paige Stainless offers sump grates and frames designed to handle substantial water flow while maintaining a sleek appearance. Our sump pits are essential for preventing water accumulation in low-lying areas, ensuring that pedestrian pathways remain safe and navigable even during heavy rainfall.
Clean and Clear Access Covers
Access covers are essential for maintaining underground utilities without disrupting the visual harmony of pedestrian areas. Paige Stainless manufactures robust, aesthetically pleasing access covers that blend seamlessly with surrounding surfaces. These covers provide easy access to utilities for maintenance purposes, ensuring that pedestrian areas remain functional and visually appealing.
