Why Ezi Klamp is the smart choice for GRP access platforms in rail and utilities

The UK rail and utilities sectors are moving faster than ever before. Choosing the right access system supplier isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about investing in the safety, efficiency, and futureproofing of your infrastructure. 

At Ezi Klamp, we’ve spent over 25 years delivering reliable and compliant GRP access platforms to contractors and asset managers across the UK. From GRP railway platforms and railway track walkways to safe access systems in water treatment plants, our products are helping to create much safer and smarter working environments for the UK’s busiest industries. 

Here’s why you should turn to Ezi Klamp for all your GRP access platform needs…

Why choose our GRP access platforms?

Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) is quickly becoming the material of choice for challenging environments, thanks to its wide range of benefits. It’s lightweight, non-corrosive, non-conductive, and requires virtually no maintenance, making it ideal for a huge variety of outdoor applications. But not all GRP systems are created equal.

Ezi Klamp’s GRP access solutions are ideal for rail projects where safety and reliability matter most. Our GRP platforms and walkways are manufactured to the highest UK health and safety standards, with anti-slip surfaces and customisable configurations that can adapt to your specific railway needs. Our GRP station platform solutions improve passenger safety and staff access, all with minimal disruption to services. 

But GRP isn’t just for rail. GRP walkways and platforms are becoming increasingly popular in the water and power sectors, too. Wastewater treatment sites are highly corrosive environments, where traditional steel systems are prone to chemical damage and rust. GRP’s non-corrosive and slip-resistant surfaces are perfect for harsh utility environments that require reliable, long-term performance from their access systems, with minimal maintenance required.

Need help designing a bespoke GRP access structure? Ezi Access is our complete design package for all your GRP access needs, helping to streamline the design and installation of our access structures. Our expert team will visit your site to conduct surveys, design your bespoke GRP solution, and even handle all the necessary paperwork on your behalf. We’ll take care of the entire process, so you can focus on delivering valuable infrastructure that makes a real difference to peoples’ lives.

Real projects with real impact

Across the UK, our utilities and railway GRP solutions are making a huge difference in how infrastructure is maintained and accessed. 

A great example of this is the bespoke GRP access stair solution we recently designed and delivered for Wessex Water in Colerne. The existing access routes around this water treatment facility were old, worn, and non-compliant with current safety standards, so we needed to create a safe and secure solution that worked around uneven terrain and pipework. The result was a durable, anti-slip GRP structure that enhanced worker safety and contributed to operational efficiency. Read the full case study here.

We’ve also worked closely with MWH Treatment: one of the leading names in the UK’s water sector. Thanks to their durability and modular design, MWH has chosen Ezi Klamp’s GRP access systems for several of their projects. Our GRP platforms and handrails have helped MWH deliver safer, more sustainable infrastructure for the country’s major water treatment facilities, which has a direct impact on the quality of water that UK households receive.

On the rail side, we recently delivered custom-designed GRP access steps and a GRP platform to Cannon Street Railway Station in Croydon. We needed to enhance the safety and accessibility of the railway line walking route used by contractors with minimal downtime. We installed this non-slip GRP access solution within just two weeks, allowing workers to quickly and easily navigate the area with confidence. Discover more about our work at Cannon Street.
