Discover what a Service Riser is and why safe riser flooring matters. RiserDeck® by Vital GRP is the leading GRP Service Riser System — strong, maintenance-free, and designed to protect your site teams and building services.
Non-Slip, Non-Conductive Access Platforms for Rail LOC Cabinets
Vital GRP provides high-performance GRP LOC platforms designed to create a safe, non-conductive working area around Rail LOCs and railway location cabinets. Engineered for rail environments, our platforms deliver long-lasting protection for signalling equipment, switchgear, communications systems and E&P infrastructure.
Built from durable Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), our platforms provide a non-slip, non-corrosive, zero-maintenance solution ideal for installation and maintenance teams working trackside.
Our GRP LOC platforms give engineers a secure, stable work surface during cabinet installation, upgrade and maintenance operations.
Key safety benefits include:
✔ Anti-Slip QuartzGrip Grating: Provides reliable slip resistance even in rain, ice or oil-prone areas ideal for year-round rail operations.
✔ Non-Conductive, Electrically Safe Design: Essential for working near signalling power, E&P feeds and sensitive communication equipment.
✔ High-Visibility GRP Handrails & Nosings: SafeRail handrails and QuartzGrip Nosings reduce trip risks and improve visibility in low-light conditions.
✔ Long-Life, Zero-Maintenance Construction: GRP resists corrosion, rot, and rust—delivering decades of performance with no ongoing upkeep.
Working alongside Anchor Systems, who supply the secure ground footings, we deliver a modular staging system designed for rapid deployment on track. Each section is lightweight enough to be carried, positioned and assembled by hand, eliminating the need for specialist lifting equipment and reducing possession time.

GRP LOC platforms are designed for simple, repeatable installation across all rail sites:
Modular Base Framework Delivered to Site: GRP profile sections are manually rolled along the track and lifted into place.
Frame Sections Bolted Together: Components are connected onsite for a secure and level base.
Frame Fixed to Anchor Systems Footings: Ensures maximum stability on any ground condition.
Pre-Built Handrail Modules Installed: High-visibility SafeRail™ units bolt directly into the frame.
Pre-Cut QuartzGrip Grating Panels Fitted: Panels are laid onto the frame and fixed down for a seamless anti-slip surface.
Central Protection Zone: The yellow centre grating covers a protective box that shields cabinet connections once installed.
This method provides a quick, consistent, and low-disruption installation, ideal for rail contractors operating within tight possession windows.
