GRP, Ground Protection, and Reinstatement for Construction and Highways
GRP grating, stair treads, and flat sheets are the standard anti-slip surface for industrial walkways, platforms, and drainage covers in construction, utilities, water treatment, and rail environments. CMT Group holds Network Rail approval for our GRP range. Road reinstatement on the public highway must comply with the Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways (SROH), which requires that all reinstatement edges are sealed with overbanding tape or joint sealer to prevent water ingress.
We have published a dedicated Ground Protection and Safety Solutions Product Guide covering 50+ stocked products. Contact our sales team to request a free copy.

Choosing the Right Products
Product selection must match the application, the regulatory standard, and the performance requirements of the asset owner. Using the wrong reinstatement material on the public highway can result in the highway authority requiring the contractor to excavate and redo the reinstatement at their own cost. Contact our team if you need guidance on the right specification for your project.
| Application | Product required | Key standard |
|---|---|---|
| Road excavation reinstatement — joint sealing | Overbanding tape or joint sealer | SROH |
| Pothole or surface repair | Cold lay tarmac or asphalt | SROH; local authority spec |
| Reinstatement line markings | Preformed thermoplastic markings | BS EN 1871; Traffic Signs Manual |
| Anti-slip walkway in rail or industrial environment | GRP grating or stair treads | Network Rail approved |
| Ground stabilisation under access road | Geotextile membrane | Tensile strength to suit load |
| Grass verge or embankment reinstatement | Rapid establishment grass seed | Highway authority condition |
| Plant access on soft or sensitive ground | Ground protection matting | Load matched to heaviest plant |

Frequently asked questions
What is overbanding and when is it required on a road reinstatement?
Overbanding is the application of a sealing material over the joint between a new reinstatement and the existing road surface. It is required under the Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways (SROH) for all permanent reinstatements on the public highway. Without joint sealing, water penetrates the reinstatement edge and causes freeze-thaw damage and sub-base erosion that leads to premature failure of the repair. View our overbanding tape range.
Why is GRP preferred over steel grating for walkways?
GRP does not corrode, is significantly lighter than steel, provides an inherent anti-slip surface, and is non-conductive. These properties make it the preferred specification for construction, utilities, water treatment, and rail environments where steel would corrode or present an electrical safety risk. CMT Group holds Network Rail approval for our GRP range. View our GRP range.
What is a geotextile membrane used for on a construction site?
A geotextile membrane is laid between ground layers to provide separation, filtration, drainage, or reinforcement. The most common application is beneath the granular sub-base of access roads and hardstandings to prevent fine soil migrating upward into the sub-base under vehicle loading, which degrades load-bearing performance over time. A correctly specified geotextile significantly extends the working life of temporary and permanent access roads. View our geotextile range.
What is cold lay asphalt and when should I use it?
Cold lay asphalt is a pre-mixed repair material applied at ambient temperature without heating. It is the standard solution for immediate pothole repair and small excavation reinstatement where hot lay cannot be arranged on the day. Modern formulations including PatchMaster provide a permanent repair that can be trafficked immediately after compaction and remains stable in all weather conditions. View our tarmac and asphalt range.

GRP Grating vs Steel Grating: Which Do You Need?
Steel grating provides very high load capacity and suits the heaviest industrial applications where the environment is not corrosive. GRP grating provides comparable load capacity at significantly lower weight, with full corrosion resistance, non-conductivity, and inherent anti-slip surface texture without additional treatment. In water treatment, coastal, rail, chemical, and electrically sensitive environments, GRP is the only practical specification as steel would corrode rapidly.
